The adventure continues! We’ll venture forth to witness the awe-inspiring Aqueduct of Xalpa, standing tall at a staggering 62 meters and stretching an impressive 430 meters. Built by the skilled hands of the Jesuits centuries ago, this architectural marvel will leave you in awe.
Then, it’s off to Tepotzotlan, a charming “Magical Town” where colonial splendor dances through its streets. Let yourself be enchanted by the splendid architecture, immerse yourself in the history of the Baroque-style convent, and wander the delightful historic center.
