About this experience

Join me to discover the mythical City of the Gods, which is located in the State of Mexico, 45 minutes north of the Mexican Capital.

In the municipality of Teotihuacán we will have a visit to the house of a family of obsidian artisans, who will give us a small explanation of the area and their work with this stone, in addition to giving us the taste of traditional Mexican drinks, pulque, tequila and mezcal, and of their local spirits.

Afterwards we will have access to the archaeological area of Teotihuacán, a world heritage site, where on a guided tour you will learn the fundamentals of its history and culture, and after some free time we will have time to go to calm hunger and thirst in a restaurant on site.

We will also visit the most important religious temple in the country, the Basilica of Guadalupe, where we will know the most important of the so-called "Villa Guadalupana".
