Discover the details of each journey below:
Teotihuacán
What enigmatic tales lie within the notable pre-Hispanic site of Teotihuacán? How were the iconic sun and moon pyramids built? On this excursion, we will visit Mexico's top archaeological site and uncover the factors contributing to its designation as a UNESCO world heritage site.
Teotihuacán, Basílica de Guadalupe, and Tlatelolco
This tour will reveal the rich history of Mexico City along with its deep-rooted religious traditions. We’ll explore Tlatelolco, previously the capital of the Aztec Empire, visit the revered La Villa de Guadalupe, one of the foremost pilgrimage destinations worldwide, and discover the renowned Teotihuacán. Our route mirrors a typical day trip to Teotihuacán, Basílica de Guadalupe, and Tlatelolco.
Cholula and Puebla
The first segment of our journey takes us through breathtaking landscapes framed by the majestic Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl volcanoes. We will visit Cholula, known as the oldest continuously inhabited city in the Americas, home to "Great Pyramid of Cholula", recognized as the largest pyramid by volume globally with a base area of 450 square meters. Following this, we will head to Puebla, to unveil why it is often labeled the "City of Angels" by appreciating the stunning Spanish colonial structures within its historic centre. The itinerary closely resembles that of the Puebla and Cholula Day Trip.
Operating days: Please note that this option operates solely on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Cuernavaca and Taxco
With its moniker, the city of eternal spring, one of the oldest churches in the Americas, and the silver capital of the world, this excursion will offer the comfort of Cuernavaca's warm climate as we admire its ancient cathedral (established by the first Franciscan friars in Mexico) before being charmed by the elegance of Taxco. This tour is similar in route to the Taxco and Cuernavaca Day Trip.
Coyoacán and Xochimilco
What is the connection between Leon Trotsky, Octavio Paz, and Frida Kahlo? This tour will provide the answer as we wander around Coyoacán, one of Mexico City's historic neighborhoods. Additionally, we will explore one of the city's most charming spots and enjoy a ride on a traditional trajinera (a flower-decorated boat) while navigating the Xochimilco canals. This journey shares similarities with the Coyoacán, Xochimilco, and the Frida Kahlo Museum.
