What to expect

Tlatelolco: The Plaza of Three Cultures

  • A mash-up of Aztec ruins, Spanish colonial architecture, and modern Mexico—three eras colliding in one place.

Basilica of Guadalupe: Mexico’s spiritual heart

  • Visit the most famous pilgrimage site in Latin America, where millions come to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe.

  • See the miraculous cloak of Guadalupe, still on display centuries after its divine appearance.

  • Explore both the New Basilica and the Old Basilica, each with its own stories to tell.

Obsidian Workshop

Teotihuacán: City of the Gods

  • Walk down the Avenue of the Dead, the main boulevard of this once-thriving civilization.

  • Stand in awe of the Pyramid of the Sun, the biggest pyramid in Mesoamerica (200+ feet tall, pure ancient flex).

  • Marvel at the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, lined with fierce stone serpent heads.

  • Explore the Palace of Quetzalpápalotl, a beautifully decorated noble residence frozen in time.
