About this experience

No trip to Mexico is complete without experiencing Lucha Libre!

This is not just professional wrestling, this is the most popular sport in Mexico besides Football. While many outside Mexico grew up with Superman and Batman, we grew up with Santo and Blue Demon as our heroes to watch on TV and in the movies!

Besides attending the lucha libre show, we'll be acting in a true Mexican fashion by going to a cantina to prepare ourselves for the show. The main event will be in the Coliseum, and in my personal opinion, I believe half of the show of takes place in the audience.

While the acrobatics are happening in the ring, you're going to want to pay attention to the banter between the different sections of the audience in the arena. I really do think it is a multi-dimensional experience!

Every guest and every experience is unique! We are able to accommodate most special requests, so if you wish to modify this experience in any way, don’t hesitate to send us a message!
