Teotihuacán, Guadalupe Basílica and Tlatelolco Day Trip

Teotihuacán, Guadalupe Basílica & Tlatelolco Day Trip Itinerary

The tour meets at 8 am in the centre of Mexico City, to begin our 10 hour tour of some of the unmissable sights on any visit to the Mexican capital.

Our first stop will be Tlatelolco, the archaeological site famous for having formed part of the capital of the Aztec empire. We'll visit the Plaza de Tres Culturas, where prehispanic and colonial influences are combined with the present of the Mexican capital. In one fell swoop, we can admire the Aztec pyramids, the viceroy's convent and contemporary buildings.

We then hit the road northwards until we arrive at the feet of the Tepeyac Hill, to pass through Villa Guadalupe, one of the most visited sites of pilgrimage in the world. We'll visit the inside of the current Guadalupe Basilica built in honour to the patron saint of Latin America as well as the old basilica. We'll spend approximately an hour and a half visiting these temples.

We'll continue our tour by visiting  Teotihuacán: Mexcio's most visited archaeological site. On the way, we'll make a stop for lunch at a local restaurant. Afterwards, we'll pass through the Road of the Dead todiscover the secrets of the City of the Gods. The tour takes us up to the Quetzalpápalotl Palace and Quetzalcoatl Temple, and you'll have free time, if you want to climb up the Sun or Moon Pyramids.

The tour then finishes back where it started, in Mexico City.
