What to expect
A day of adventures
Transfer from the nearest resorts to Cancun airport takes an average of an hour. Direct flights from Cancun to Mexico City take about 2.5 hours. Yes, a significant part of the day will be spent on the road. But we will try to make it as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. If needed, we can assist with tickets and transfers. And of course, we will organize full guidance in Teotihuacan and Mexico City - with transfers between sites and captivating stories about the iconic monuments of different epochs of Mexico.
The place where gods touched the earth
First, we will head to the archaeological complex where you will admire up close the majestic pyramids of the Sun, Moon, and Quetzalcoatl. You will learn about the origins of the settlement, which later became one of the largest cities in Mesoamerica and the Ancient World, its period of prosperity, and the mystical disappearance of its inhabitants. Near the ruins, we will discuss what is known to science about the ancient advanced civilizations and what remains a mystery, giving rise to countless speculations about the true history of humanity.
Historic center of Mexico City
Next, you will explore the world of the Mexican capital. The program includes the most striking and interesting attractions of the old and modern city districts. You will visit the Palace of Fine Arts - the Mexico City Theater, Casa Azulejos - the Tile House, the Cathedral - the oldest temple in the Spanish part of America, the Constitution Square Zocalo, as well as the National Palace and the archaeological site of Templo Mayor. Through these monuments, you will be able to imagine the journey Mexico City has made from the capital of the Aztec Empire to the capital of Mexico and one of the largest metropolises in the world.
🌮 🌯 After the walk, we will invite you to the most exquisite and exotic San Juan food market. Here, you can taste edible insects (crickets, tarantulas), crocodile and buffalo meat, or appreciate traditional - juicy, aromatic, and spicy - dishes of hot Mexican cuisine.
