Highlights

Itinerary

Start the Tour in Mexico City by meeting your guide at your accommodation and heading directly to Jardines de México, considered the “biggest contemplative garden in the world” and the first of its kind in Latin America.

This botanical park spans 51 hectares and has eight stunningly themed gardens. Each garden offers a unique experience, allowing you to explore diverse plant species. The Japanese Garden with its serene ponds, Italian Garden showcasing classic European landscaping, and Cactaceous Garden featuring an impressive collection of cacti are just a few highlights. The Las Cuatro Primaveras (The Four Seasons) garden beautifully showcases the ever-changing beauty of seasonal flowers. As you wander through the lush greenery, the Tropical Garden will transport you to a vibrant paradise, while the Abanico de Flores dazzles with its colorful array of blossoms. For younger visitors, the ConSentidos children’s garden offers an interactive experience with environmental education workshops that engage kids in the wonders of nature.

After diving into the tranquility and beauty of Jardines de México, we’ll head to Tepoztlán, a picturesque town nestled at the foot of the majestic Tepozteco Mountain. Known for its cobblestone streets lined with colorful houses, Tepoztlán exudes a unique charm and lively atmosphere. Take your time to stroll through the town, exploring its local markets, craft shops, and quaint cafés.

A must-see in Tepoztlán is the Ex-Convento de la Natividad, one of Mexico’s most beautiful and well-preserved 16th-century churches. With its intricate design and historical significance, this Mudejar-style church offers a glimpse into the region’s colonial past. The church’s architecture and its tranquil surroundings make it a perfect spot to relax and reflect.

If you’re visiting in February, don’t miss the Tepoztlán Carnival. The joyful and lively atmosphere fills the air with music, dance, and local celebrations. The carnival is an experience of authentic Mexican culture, as locals come together to celebrate with costumes and traditional festivities.

After a day of exploring the natural beauty and rich history of Jardines de México and Tepoztlán, we’ll return to the vehicle for a relaxing journey back to Mexico City. This journey will leave you with unforgettable memories and a deeper connection to Mexico’s culture and landscapes.
