Visit greatness Mexico with a 2-day tour that takes you through the history and folklore of the country in the main cultural and tourist attractions of the city.Day 1
We start the tour departing from Mexico City in the direction of the ruined city of Teotihuacan, also known as the City of the Gods. At its height during the first millennium, the Aztecs dominated the territory and built the temples in veneration of their gods, now declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the entire country. Accompanied by your local guide you can explore the magnificent Sun and Moon pyramids, the Avenue of the Dead and the Quetzalcoatl and the Butterflies Temples. We will have time to take a lunch (on our own) and visit traditional craft markets in the region.
Then we will go to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the most visited religious place in Latin America. The sanctuary was built in 1531 after Juan Diego, a peasant in the area had a vision of a woman surrounded by light, asking that a church be built in his honor. She identified herself as the Virgin Mary and left an image of herself imprinted miraculously on the peasant's cloak. The sanctuary itself is a wonderful example of Spanish Baroque art and is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Catholics around the world.
