Itinerary

Get ready for the Chapultepec Museum! Meet your guide and head to this beautiful castle, the only royal palace in the Americas. Step into a time capsule of opulence and history, where every room holds echoes of Mexico’s past rulers.

Walk through lavish chambers that once housed viceroys, Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg, and Mexican presidents, dazzling at the exquisite furnishings, grand staircases, and sweeping terraces that offer breathtaking views of Mexico City’s skyline. Your guide will reveal the castle’s rich history, from its role as a military academy to the legendary stories of the Niños Héroes, young cadets who bravely defended it in 1847.

After diving into the world of Mexico’s colonial and imperial history, our journey continues to the National Museum of Anthropology, a true treasure trove of ancient Mesoamerican cultures. Home to one of the most significant collections of pre-Hispanic artifacts, this museum offers an in-depth exploration of Mexico’s indigenous civilizations, including the Aztecs, Maya, Olmecs, and Mixtecs. Stand in awe before the Stone of the Sun (Aztec calendar stone), gaze at the colossal Olmec heads, and admire the intricate artistry of Mayan jade masks and Mixtec goldwork.

As the tour comes to an end, take a moment to reflect on the rich layers of history you’ve uncovered. From imperial grandeur to ancient civilizations, this journey will leave you with a newfound appreciation for Mexico’s diverse and fascinating heritage.
