Mexico City Tour and Teotihuacan

Cuauhtemoc 11 hours

Start this guided tour in the historical centre of Mexico City, listed by UNESCO as World Heritage. Your visit will include the ‚ÄúZocalo‚Äù, the heart of the city, where you will visit the Metropolitan Cathedral, one of the oldest and largest of the Americas, and the National Palace, where you can admire the famous murals of Diego Rivera. You will also see the ruins of the Templo Mayor, one of the most important temples of the Aztecs in their ancient capital city of Tenochtitlan. The Templo Mayor is thought to be located on the exact spot where the Aztecs saw the eagle perching on a cactus with a snake in its beak. This symbolised for the Aztecs that they had reached their promised land.

In the afternoon, after a lunch break (lunch not included), continue to the archaeological zone of Teotihuacan. During this guided visit you will encounter the magic and mystery of Teotihuacan. Admire (and climb?) the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon. Walk down the Avenue of the Dead, visit the Temple of Quetzalcoatl with its unique stone sculptures of plumed serpents, the Temple of the Butterflies, and the Fortresses. Back in Mexico City we make a stop at the Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, a pilgrimage place for millions of Mexicans and people from all around the world.
