It is one of the most colorful and pleasant towns in Mexico. Its harmonious colonial architecture preserved without urban alterations and its peaceful atmosphere have made it one of the most important destinations in Mexico. In 2008 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO thanks to its historic center, colonial, baroque and neo-Gothic architecture, which we can admire in its cobbled streets and viceroyalty-style mansions.

Teotihuacan is one of Mexico’s most impressive archeological wonders, but its popularity means it draws large crowds. Explore the sprawling site before the large groups arrive on a sunrise tour, which also helps you beat the heat, as it can feel oppressive in these open-air attractions. Plus, exploring with a guide helps put all of the temples and murals into context. Note that lunch is not included on this tour.
