Itinerary

  • House of Tiles (Casa de los Azulejos)

    This full day Mexico City tour will give you an incredibly in depth local experience, from the bustle of the city to the peace of the suburbs and the serenity of Teotihuacan on the outskirts of the city. We will meet at the "House of Tiles" where we will take a public electric bus to the North Bus Station. The ride will take around 20 min. There we will need to wait for a bus (around 20 min) that will take us to the Pyramids. After 90 minutes of the countryside ride we’ll begin by experiencing the Teotihuacan Pyramids.

    2 hours

  • Teotihuacan Pyramids

    We’ll begin the day by experiencing the Teotihuacan Pyramids, “where the men become gods”. Walking through the Teotihuacan Pyramids is like taking a step back in time.

    1 hour

  • Pyramid of the Moon

    We’ll begin our visit at the impressive Moon Pyramid, with a guided Teotihuacan tour to learn about the history, meaning, and architecture of one of the most representative icons of Latin America.

    1 hour

  • Pyramid of the Sun

    Walking through the Teotihuacan Pyramids is like taking a step back in time. We’ll begin our visit at the impressive Moon Pyramid, with a guided Teotihuacan tour to learn about the history, meaning, and architecture of one of the most representative icons of Latin America. Our exploration continues with a walk through the Calzada de los Muertos (Dead Pass) to reach the Sun Pyramid, which is the tallest and most spectacular in the area.

    1 hour

  • Quetzalcoatl

    Cross the Pyramid of the Moon stands La Ciudadela (the Citadel), a large ceremonial courtyard that contains the Temple of Quetzalcoatl.. We will have the chance to climb up to the top - without the morning crowds, we’ll have the whole temple to ourselves! Once on top you will feel the amazing energy that flows through the pyramids, and you will feel fully recharged and peaceful!

    1 hour

  • San Juan Teotihuacán

    You will have some time to relax and enjoy the pyramids before we continue our walking tour through the streets of a local town and make two stops that will give you a deeper understanding of the local way of life outside the big cities. The cherry on top of our big day will be lunch! We’ll be welcomed into a local family’s home to see how locals live outside Mexico City.

Highlight of our trip to CDMX!

Published on Dec, 2024

This was an awesome experience! Our guide, Roy, was very friendly, entertaining, and spoke English well. He shared a lot of interesting information. The Pyramids were breathtaking and he made sure we saw the third one which is a trek but well worth it (you are still allowed to climb it). After the pyramids, we went into town for Pulque tasting and to see different types of obsidian art. We then went to another town for a delicious lunch with a local family. It was fun to take public transportation with Roy as that was our preferred method of getting around Mexico City. Highly recommend this experience!

A unique trip to Teotihuacan from Mexico City

Published on May, 2024

Went on May 9th to see Teotihuacan, and I happened to be the only guest attending the tour! The trip was super interesting and unconventional, we started by using public transport to go from the city center to a bus hub and then took an overland bus to go straight to the ruins - including some introduction to the surrounding area and vendors / musicians live on the bus :D. Arriving at Teotihuacan it definitely pays to have a knowledgeable guide and I learned a whole lot about the history and culture of the place, including opportunities to look at some in-depth archeology in the attached museum. Notably, we also visited a local shop with produce and the obsidian crafts that played a role in the history of this area. The trip ends with homemade Mexican food at a local home, which was very yummy! My tour guide was super friendly and communicative both in English and Spanish and clearly well informed about Teotihuacan as well as every place along the way! We went back on the bus and I returned to my place with no issues. Would definitely recommend the tour for anybody looking to see Teotihuacan based in Mexico City, this is the coolest way to do it!

Great day in CDMX

Published on Jan, 2024
