Stroll along the Avenue of the Dead, the ancient path that connects these massive pyramids, and dive into the energy and history that still resonates through the site. Visit the Temple of Quetzalpapalotl, an exquisite temple known for its intricate carvings and mysterious significance. Explore the city’s incredible architecture, temples, and palaces, each telling stories of this ancient civilization’s power and spiritual life.

Here, you’ll be awe-struck by the monumental Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, towering structures that have stood for centuries. Get lost in their awe-inspiring beauty, stroll along the famous Avenue of the Dead, and visit the stunning Temple of Quetzalpapalotl and other incredible sights of this unforgettable ancient city.

Prepare for the second hit of the day as we journey to the nearby town of Acolman, where history and tradition intertwine. Acolman is the birthplace of the piñata, a beloved tradition that has spread across the Americas. Discover the fascinating history of the piñata, from its origins in Mexico to its cultural significance in celebrations and festivals. Learn about the evolution of the piñata and its symbolism before diving into hands-on fun!

Acolman is also home to one of the oldest Augustinian convents in Latin America, a remarkable site known for its stunning murals that will leave you in awe. The colors and intricate designs of these murals offer a glimpse into Mexico’s spiritual and artistic history, reflecting centuries of colonial influence. After exploring this historic convent, prepare for a truly unique experience—a piñata workshop where you’ll create your own handmade piñata. This fun, creative activity will give you a personal souvenir that captures the spirit of Mexican culture and craftsmanship.
