Puebla state capital 2 hours east of Mexico City — anchored by a UNESCO-listed colonial core (Talavera-tiled facades, Cathedral of Puebla) at 2,135m elevation. The Centro Histórico and Cholula (the connected smaller town with the world's largest pyramid by volume) are the typical anchors. Same Mexico 180-day tourist permit story as CDMX; no formal DNV but the long-visa-free + Temporary Resident routes apply. The structural draws are deep colonial-architecture density, distinctive food scene (mole poblano, chiles en nogada, cemita sandwich), and meaningfully sub-CDMX rents (30-40% cheaper).
