Itinerary

Get ready for our Teotihuacan Tour! Start your day with an unforgettable adventure as you meet your guide and set off to explore one of Mexico’s most iconic archaeological sites, the UNESCO-listed Teotihuacan Pyramids. We’ll pick you up from your accommodation in Mexico City and hop on a journey that transports us back to the magnificent world of the pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations.

As we approach Teotihuacan, catch your first glimpse of the towering Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, standing as awe-inspiring testaments to the ingenuity of the ancient Teotihuacanos. Upon arrival, dive into the grandeur of this once-thriving metropolis, believed to have been one of the largest cities in the world at its peak.

Accompanied by our guide, take a fascinating walking tour along the Avenue of the Dead, the main ceremonial artery of Teotihuacan. Along the way, you will be dazzled by intricate murals, palaces, and hidden ruins, each revealing secrets of a civilization that flourished over 2,000 years ago. Stand before the Temple of the Feathered Serpent (Quetzalcoatl), adorned with striking stone carvings of the serpent deity, symbolizing power and divinity.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share incredible stories, legends, and insights into the rituals, beliefs, and architectural brilliance of the Teotihuacan civilization.

After an immersive exploration of this enigmatic archaeological wonder, it’s time to relax as we journey back to Mexico City. Reflect on the rich history, cultural legacy, and breathtaking sights of the City of the Gods, carrying home unforgettable memories of one of Mexico’s greatest treasures.
