From Mexico City: Teotihuacan Pyramids Adventure with Lunch – Mexico City, Mexico

EXPERIENCE:

This full day Mexico City tour will give you an incredibly in-depth local experience, from the bustle of the city to the peace of the suburbs and the serenity of Teotihuacan on the outskirts of the city. We will meet at the Fine Arts Museum where we will take a public electric bus to the North Bus Station. The ride will take around 20 min.

There we will need to wait for a bus (around 20 min) that will take us to the Pyramids. After 90 minutes of the countryside ride we’ll begin by experiencing the Teotihuacan Pyramids, “where the men become gods”. Walking through the Teotihuacan Pyramids is like taking a step back in time. We’ll begin our visit at the impressive Moon Pyramid, with a guided Teotihuacan tour to learn about the history, meaning, and architecture of one of the most representative icons of Latin America. Our exploration continues with a walk through the Calzada de los Muertos (Dead Pass) to reach the Sun Pyramid, which is the tallest and most spectacular in the area. Across the Pyramid of the Moon stands La Ciudadela (the Citadel), a large ceremonial courtyard that contains the Temple of Quetzalcoatl. We will have the chance to climb up to the top – without the morning crowds, we’ll have the whole temple to ourselves! Once on top you will feel the amazing energy that flows through the pyramids, and you will feel fully recharged and peaceful!

You will have some time to relax and enjoy the pyramids before we continue our walking tour through the streets of a local town and make two stops that will give you a deeper understanding of the local way of life outside the big cities. We will visit a local family and discover that cactus is an important cultural and historical symbol in Mexico. It might surprise you to learn that cactus is a staple in Mexican cuisine! The cherry on top of our big day will be lunch! We’ll be welcomed into a local family’s home to see how locals live outside Mexico City. Here, we’ll enjoy some real local flavours of typical Mexican kitchens served by one or two of the family members. For lunch you can expect a main meal: chicken with cactus, potatoes, rice, and tlacoyo. Products are straight from local organic farms. Delicious! After lunch, we’ll head back to Mexico City, happy, full, and enriched from our exciting day exploring local life, ancient pyramids, and delicious food!
