    • Pyramid of the Sun: Stand before one of the largest pyramids in Mesoamerica and learn about its ceremonial and astronomical significance.

    • Pyramid of the Moon & Plaza of the Moon: Explore the northern end of the Avenue of the Dead and understand the city’s urban planning and ritual importance.

    • Central Plaza & Avenue of the Dead: Walk the main axis of the ancient city while your certified guide explains its political, religious, and social structure.

    • Artisan Cultural Stop: Meet local artisans and learn about traditional obsidian craftsmanship. Taste regional drinks including mezcal, tequila, and local liquors.

    • Lunch Stop at Restaurante Huehueteotl: Pause for approximately one hour at a local restaurant with live entertainment. Food and drinks are not included and can be purchased directly at the venue.

    Wrapping up

    After lunch, return to Mexico City comfortably by van. Drop-off will be at the same location as pickup, around 2:30pm depending on group coordination.
