Teotihuacán, Guadalupe Basilica & Tlatelolco Day Trip
Day Trip Details
After meeting at your selected meeting point in the centre of Mexico City, we'll begin our 8.5-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 modern architecture characteristic of the Mexican capital. We'll be able to admire the remains of the Aztec pyramids, the viceroy's convent and contemporary buildings.
We'll then hit the road northwards until we arrive at the feet of the Tepeyac Hill, where we'll find the Villa Guadalupe, one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the world. Here, we'll visit the inside of the current Basilica of Santa María de Guadalupe, built in honour of the patron saint of Latin America, as well as the old basilica that serves as an expiatory temple to Cristo Rey. We'll spend approximately 1.5 hours visiting these temples.
We'll continue our tour by visiting Teotihuacán: Mexico'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 to discover the secrets of the City of the Gods. Our tour will then take us up to the Quetzalpápalotl Palace and Quetzalcóatl Temple, and you'll have some free time if you'd like to wander around this sacred site on your own.
The tour then finishes back at the starting point in Mexico City.
