Itinerary

Meet your private guide in Mexico City in the morning and head to the Teotihuacan Pyramids. For about three hours, leisurely explore the archaeological zone by seeing the impressive Sun and Moon Pyramid and walking down the famous Avenue of the Dead. Also, visit the beautiful Temple of Quetzalpapalotl and other sights of this ancient city.

Afterward, return to Mexico City and head to Chapultepec while driving along Paseo de la Reforma. With beautiful trees and outstanding monuments resembling France’s Champs Elysées, it is one of the most famous avenues in the city. Upon arrival at the park, climb up the hill to visit the Chapultepec Castle, one of the foremost symbols of Mexico that carefully preserves its heritage from different significant historical periods.

A visit to this castle is like going back in time as it served as the official residence of the Viceroys, the emperor Maximilian of Habsburg, and several Mexican presidents.

Moreover, make a stop at the Anthropology Museum, the largest and most visited museum in Mexico. It has an astonishing collection of pre-Hispanic artifacts. Learn about the origins of the advanced thousand-year-old Mesoamerican cultures and their valuable heritage in the country.

Finally, after a day of discoveries, return to our vehicle and relax back to your accommodation.
