Description
Wake up for an unforgettable adventure day as you meet your guide for the Hidalgo tour. The first stop is at Tula. This ancient Mesoamerican treasure holds the key to a fascinating chapter in history, once reigning as the proud capital of the Toltec Empire. As we step foot in this mystical realm, prepare to be transported back in time. Marvel at the monumental stone sculptures of mighty Toltec warriors, explore the remnants of ancient temples, and be captivated by the intricate reliefs depicting the gods and creatures of the past.
The adventure continues! We’ll venture forth to witness the awe-inspiring Aqueduct of Xalpa, standing tall at a staggering 62 meters and stretching an impressive 430 meters. Built by the skilled hands of the Jesuits centuries ago, this architectural marvel will leave you in awe.
Then, it’s off to Tepotzotlan, a charming “Magical Town” where colonial splendor dances through its streets. Let yourself be enchanted by the splendid architecture, immerse yourself in the history of the Baroque-style convent, and wander the delightful historic center.
As our journey nears its end, we’ll take a leisurely stroll through town, visiting the renowned National Museum of Viceroyalty, where tales of the past come to life. And when it’s time to bid farewell, rest and relax as we whisk you back to your accommodation.
