Day 3: Pyramids and Basilica de Guadelupe (Saturday)
After breakfast we will leave the hotel at 8.30am to show you the most important
church of Mexico City; the Basilica of Guadalupe. "Guadalupe" is the patron
Saint of Mexico. She is visited by millions of Mexicans every year. Our next stop
is Teotihuacan, where you can climb the pyramids. Teotihuacan was
constructed between 200 BC and 700AC by an unknown tribe that we later
called the Teotihuacanos. The Aztecs adopted the name, "The City of Gods".
The temple of Quetzalcoatl, the pyramid of the Sun and the temple of
Quetzalpapálotl are just a few examples of what you can expect to see there.
Bring good walking shoes! In the afternoon we will bring you to a demonstration
of how the indigenous people used to work obsidian, a volcanic stone, far more
precious than gold for ancient tribes in Mexico.
We will be back around 4.30pm in your hotel, so that you have some time to do
things on your own.
Day 4: Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco floating gardens (Sunday)
Our first stop of the day is the Frida Kahlo museum. The "Casa Azul" used to be
the house where Frida grew up. Now it is a museum. You can see original
paintings from her ánd Diego Rivera in this colorful museum. After this tour you
have some free time to see Coyoacan. This is a wonderful place to visit,
especially on a Sunday! The main plaza is one of the liveliest on the whole
country. Later in the afternoon we will head to Xochimilco. This place is one of
the most colorful places that you can see in Mexico. Here we will make a boat
trip along the "floating" gardens, while we listen to the Mariachi musicians. At
night you can take an optional tour to the Famous Ballet of Amalia Hernandez in
the Bellas Artes Teatre
Day 5: Back to Puerto Vallarta (Monday)

around in the Zona Rosa/La Condesa, do some shopping in the moderns malls
or markets of Mexico City. We will give you plenty of suggestions. If you fly with
the group we will transfer you to the hotel. In case you fly back late at night you

Day 2: Historic district and Museum of Anthropology ( Friday)
After a welcome briefing in the hotel, we will start our guided city tour. We will
see the City from the Torre Latino americana, 44 floors high. After that we will
take you to the National Palace with the famous Murals by Diego Rivera. In
ancient times, Mexico City was called Tenochtitlan. An estimated 250.000
Aztecs used to live here, by that time already the biggest city of the world. The
remains can be seen at the Templo Mayor, next to the Zocalo, the main square.
Of course a visit to the Cathedral should not be missed. In the afternoon we
visit the Museum of Anthropology and History. We will show you all highlights of
this unique museum. The museum is open to public since 1966 and basically all
treasures that have been found in archaeological sites have been brought
there. This is the new house for the Aztec Calender. There could not be a
better place to get to know the complete history of Mexico.


Mexico City, the Capital of Mexico and one of the biggest cities of the world
is a MUST when you visit Mexico. There is no other place in this country with
so much history, great architecture, the best food of the country and so
much choice for Nightlife. During this tour, you will visit with a Superior Guide
all highlights of the City. See the Historic District, the floating Gardens of
Xochimilco, the Frida Kahlo Museum, and of course, the Pyramids of
Teotihuacan. Our hotel, Plaza Florencia (or similar) is located in the Zona
Rosa; famous for its many restaurants, bars and clubs. No time to get bored
during this tour!!
