Your Experience

Once you are picked up from your hotel, follow your guide to Tlatelolco, an area now within the Cuauhtémoc borough in Mexico City. Tlatelolco was once a part of the capital of the Aztec empire. Today, the ruins of the Plaza de las Tres Culturas correspond to the ceremonial precinct of Tlatelolco. The latter maintains similarities to Tenochtitlan: to form a city where the market and trade were the main activity.

From here, continue onwards to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Basilica de Guadalupe). Said to be one of the most visited places in the Catholic world. Your guide will tell you all about its importance in Mexican culture and the stories of miracles attributed to the Virgin of Guadalupe. A short drive later, you will arrive at Teotihuacan ('the place where the Gods were created'). This ancient Mesoamerican city is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to iconic landmarks such as the Avenue of the Dead, the palace of Quetzalpapalotl, and the Sun, Moon, and Quetzalcoatl pyramids. You can even climb up to the top of the Sun Pyramid for the best panoramic views. At the end of the tour, you will be dropped off back at your hotel.
