Urban trip and Mexican beaches

Arrival in Mexico City and installation at your hotel for 4 nights. Then head to the center to immerse yourself in history: the Plaza de la Constitucion, better known as the Zocalo, the imposing Metropolitan Cathedral, the National Palace and the archaeological site of the Templo Mayor will make you discover national treasures. To experience the authentic Mexico, you must visit Garibaldi Square between the scent of tequila and the music of the mariachis. A twenty-minute walk westward will take you to the Plaza de la Republica, where you will find the Monument to the Revolution, whose underground section houses a museum.

After this first approach to the culture of the capital, you can extend your visit to the Zona Rosa, where the restaurants and atmospheric bars welcome you until the end of the night.

We suggest a bike ride to the Chapultepec neighborhood and its park, the largest and most emblematic green lung in Mexico City. A few turns of the pedal will then take you to the Moctezuma Baths, a circular pool that was once connected to the ancient springs flowing at the foot of the Cerro del Chapulin. Continue along the main avenue and take a break in front of the Canadian Totem, a fascinating wooden sculpture donated by the Canadian people to Mexico in 1960. In the park is the Chapultepec Castle, which offers an excellent vantage point for taking pictures. You will also find the Museum of Modern Art and the imposing Museum of Anthropology.

Discover the bohemian districts: the Condesa, Roma, Coyoacan and San Angel districts, tourist poles where you will find welcoming cafes, historical squares, restaurants and trendy clubs of the city. It is in the Coyocoan district, the “Barrio Magico”, that you will find the house, the Casa Azul, of the famous painter Frida Kahlo at 247 London Street. Take a bite at the market of antojitos, the typical Mexican snacks.

Visit the archaeological site of Teotihuacan, a city built on this location by the Aztecs. The archaeological site is one of the most beautiful in Mexico. The main road that crosses the center of the site, called the Causeway of the Dead, is almost 2.5 km long and 40 meters wide. You can see the most impressive building, the Pyramid of the Sun, as well as the Temple and Palace of Quetzalpápalotl.
