Description

Immerse yourself in the ancient religious roots of Mexico. First, on this tour, prepare yourself to discover and explore the magnificent and world-known Pyramids of Teotihuacan. The city of Teotihuacan was one of the most powerful religious and cultural centers in Mesoamerica. It is recognized by the vast size of its monuments, and its influence was felt throughout central Mexico to Guatemala. One of our certified guides will take you throughout Teotihuacan, the place where the Gods were created, as the city was known in ancient times. You will explore the Avenue of the Dead, have the opportunity to climb the Pyramid of the Sun, and take amazing pictures of the Pyramid of the Moon, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, and La Ciudadela, all constructed geometrically and symbolically. You can also admire plenty of colorful mural art painted on plastered walls. While exploring the pyramids and monuments of Teotihuacan, you will learn about the social, cultural, and religious heritage of this important civilization. After visiting Teotihuacan, you will visit the Shrine of Guadalupe which is currently the world's second most visited Catholic Sanctuary, after The Vatican. It is dedicated to the adoration of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and is located at the foot of the Tepeyac hill, where the mantle of Juan Diego is exhibited. On this famous mantle, the sacred image of the Holy Virgin of Guadalupe is embodied. Throughout the tour, you will enjoy a delicious Mexican buffet and your guide will take you to an arts and crafts workshop where you can buy crafts made of the famous obsidian stone and find the perfect souvenir! This will be a tour full of history, culture, and fun.
