Day 2: Mexico City Morning Tour/ Free Afternoon

After breakfast at our hotel, we enjoy a morning tour of Mexico City. We begin with a visit to the National Palace where we will see its beautiful murals, painted by the great muralist Diego Rivera, the constitution square (the central plaza or "Zocalo") and the metropolitan cathedral as well as some of the main avenues. Later we visit Chapultepec Park which is one of the most important residential areas of Mexico City as well as the "pink zone" (Zona Rosa). Our afternoon will be free to enjoy shopping on our own.

Day 3: Guadalupe Tour / Free Afternoon

This morning we visit the basilica of our lady of Guadalupe, so called The Empress of America. We will visit both the Old and New Basilica , Tepeyac Hill, and La Villa de Guadalupe. The new Basilica is the most important religious building in Mexico. It houses the original apron of Juan Diego that shows the icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Thus it is an important pilgrimage site and is visited by several million people every year.

Day 4: Teotihaucan Pyramid Tour / Free Afternoon

After breakfast we travel to the famous archaeological site of Teotihuacan, where we shall see the monumental Pyramids of the Sun and The Moon, the temple of Quetzalpapalotl, the citadel and the avenue of the dead. Teotihuacán was, at its height in the first half of the 1st millennium CE (Common Era), the largest city in the Americas. We will return to Mexico City for the remainder of the day free to explore and shop on our own.

Day 5: Cuernavaca and Taxco Tour

We depart Mexico City and enjoy a full day tour to some of the smaller surrounding town. We will first stop in Cuernavaca, a popular weekend retreat for Mexico City residents, where a small city tour will be given. It is a beautiful city known as the 'city of eternal spring' for its joyous atmosphere and enjoyable climate. We then enjoy a scenic drive to Taxco, which is known as the 'silver city' and is one of the prettiest towns in Mexico. The city tumbles across a hillside with winding cobblestone streets, tile roofed buildings, cozy squares, and a strong Old World ambience that has survived for hundreds of years. You will visit one of Mexico's grandest churches, Santa Prisca. It was built in 1759 by French immigrant Jose de la Borda who literally stumbled upon a huge silver claim. Santa Prisca is a riot of ornate Baroque styling flanked by twin bell towers. The interior displays some of Mexico's beautiful goldleaf ornamentation. You will have plenty of time to have lunch and also visit the marketplace and the famous silversmith shops! After seeing Taxco, it is time to head back to Mexico City where you will be driven back to your hotel.

Day 6: Return to USA

We depart Mexico City this morning for our return flight to the USA.
