The journey begins at one of the most important cultural institutions in Latin America, the National Museum of Anthropology. This iconic museum is a treasure trove of ancient artifacts and pre-Hispanic history. Walk through galleries filled with Aztec sun stones, Maya stelae, Olmec heads, and indigenous ceremonial relics.

Enjoy the festive atmosphere as you taste different flavors of pulque and curados—flavored versions mixed with fruits, oats, or nuts. This stop offers more than just a tasting; it’s a sensory experience that connects you with Mexico’s living traditions.
To conclude our day, we’ll explore the historic center of Mexico City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you walk through the unique streets, you’ll see a fascinating blend of colonial architecture, Aztec ruins, and modern-day energy.
