Mexico City

Welcome to Mexico! Transfer to the hotel and free time. Our guide will contact you late in the afternoon.

Today we have a fantastic day acquaint ourselves with Mexico. We include a sightseeing tour of the city. We will visit the Plaza of Three Cultures, and the historic centre in which the Zócalo (main square) and its Metropolitan Cathedral stand out, the main Aztec temple, Chapultepec Park, the “Paseo de la Reforma” Avenue and the other main avenues of this impressive city. At the end of the visit we travel to the BASILICA OF GUADALUPE, the most visited Catholic temple in the Americas where the Virgin of Guadalupe is found. There we will be able to explore the old basilica dating back to the 18th Century and also the modern temple. In the afternoon we travel to the neighbourhood of XOCHIMILCO, a wonderful place with its canals and semifloating gardens. Here we include a ride in a “trajinera”, one of the boats festooned with flowers. In the evening we include a transfer to the Plaza de GARIBALDI, with its many bars, restaurants and bars where tacos and tequila are served and the Mariachis sing. Dinner is included in a traditional restaurant.

We’ll depart from Mexico City toward the state of Puebla. On the way, admission will be included to the ExHacienda de Chautla, founded in the 18th century and famous for its Englishstyle castle situated on an artificial lake surrounded by forests. We’ll continue our journey to the charming town of Cholula, home to a lovely plaza and the picturesque Church of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, from where you can enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding landscape. We’ll then arrive in Puebla, a historic city renowned for its culinary traditions, colonial architecture, and ceramics. Highlights include its impressive Renaissance cathedral and its lively zocalo. Next, we’ll head to Val’Quirico, where the architecture, inspired by the European countryside—especially Italy’s Tuscany—and its medieval style, will transport you back in time. Arrival in Mexico City is expected around 08:30 p. m.

Breakfast. End of our services. Transfer from the hotel to the airport not included.
