Prepare to immerse yourself in the rich culture of Mexico as we begin our tour! Our first stop is the Pulque Museum, where we will explore the origin and craftsmanship of the iconic "drink of the gods" that has become a staple. Following this, we will head to a cantina to enjoy a glass of this traditional pulque.
After savoring pulque, we will proceed to the Mercado de Artesanías la Ciudadela, known as Mexico's premier artisan market. Prepare to be amazed by a vast array of handmade crafts! You’ll find exquisite items hailing from various regions like Puebla, Oaxaca, Morelia, Chiapas, and Yucatan, including jewelry, textiles, and artworks.
Next, we will explore the bustling San Juan Market, celebrated as a food paradise in Mexico City. As we wander through its lively avenues, you will have the chance to taste tequila and mezcal that will surely captivate your palate.
If you’re feeling daring, consider trying scorpions that have been harvested from remote areas of Mexico! For those eager to expand their culinary horizons further, there’s also the option to sample a lion burger or perhaps indulge in some bear jerky.
