You'll be picked up from your Mexico City hotel and, on your way to the pyramids, visit the “Basilica de Guadalupe”. This modern catholic religious center was built in order to replace the Spanish construction of the 17th century. The old church still exists, but every day it sinks further into the swampy ground. The devotion to the “Dark Virgin of Guadalupe”, is so widespread that many Mexicans refer to themselves as “Guadalupanos”. This devotion is witnessed daily, with pilgrimages made on their knees to the basilica entrances; the atmosphere of the site is uniquely characterized by fervor and prayers, music and colors.
Continue to Teotihuacan after the visit. This archaeological site was the most populated and dynamic city of the central valley in about 400 years AD. The Quetzalcoatl Temple, as well as the two impressive Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, are immutable witnesses of Mexico´s glorious past. At the top of the pyramids you can get a superb view that spans all the plain. On your way back to Mexico City you will try “Pulque” an ancient drink as well as visit an obsidian workshop.
