Your journey begins in the heart of Mexico's bustling capital. Guided by our experienced local guides in Mexico City, you will first make a panoramic stop at the historic Plaza de las Tres Culturas.

Known as the “City of the Gods,” Teotihuacan was once one of the largest and most influential cities in Mesoamerica. It is famous for its colossal pyramids, which dominate the landscape and offer unparalleled views. Our local guide will lead you through the ancient city, sharing insightful stories about the history and culture of this mysterious civilization.
