About this experience

Our tour is not only a visit to Teotihuacan, it is an immersion in its grandeur from unique perspectives. Unlike other tours, we begin the experience with a dawn flyby, where golden light reveals the majesty of the pyramids from the sky.

Then, instead of an ordinary breakfast, we take our travelers to a cave, where history and gastronomy merge in a mystical setting. Ancestral drink tasting adds a connection to the deepest traditions, while visiting the silver and obsidian workshop allows you to explore the art that has endured for generations.

To conclude, the Pyramids tour is not only a walk, but an opportunity to feel the energy of the City of Gods with an enveloping narrative. Our tour is a sensory and cultural journey, designed for those who seek more than just a walk: an experience that arouses admiration and wonder at every moment.
