Hoogtepunten

Start your day with a delightful barbacoa brunch at El Pica 1 in the village of La Purificación, a renowned establishment featured in the Barbacoa episode of Netflix's Taco Chronicles. Barbacoa is lamb slow cooked in a traditional underground oven. You are guided by Alan who grew up in La Purificación. If you would like to see the barbacoa process but prefer vegetarian food, interesting local options are available. Our journey continues to the awe-inspiring archaeological wonder of Texcotzinco (Baños de Netzahualcóyotl). Uncover the stories these historic ruins tell and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of ancient Mexico. Controversial theories about the ruins were included in a segment of the second episode of Netflix´s "Ancient Apocalypse". This meticulously curated day offers more than just a tour; it's an authentic immersion into the soul of Mexico, where culinary delights, ancient history, and personal connections converge to create an unforgettable experience.

About Mexico-stad

Mexico-Stad is een enorme hoofdstad op grote hoogte, gebouwd boven het Azteekse Tenochtitlan, rijk aan musea, muurschilderingen, markten en geweldig eten.

De Zócalo, een van de grootste pleinen ter wereld, wordt omlijst door de Metropolitaanse Kathedraal en het Nationaal Paleis, waar de muurschilderingen van Diego Rivera het verhaal van Mexico vertellen. Ernaast onthult de opgegraven Templo Mayor het hart van de Azteekse hoofdstad, en het Palacio de Bellas Artes, met zijn marmeren buitenkant en art-decobinnenkant, staat op korte loopafstand naar het westen.

Top-ranked sights in Mexico-stad: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
