Höjdpunkter

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 City

Mexico City är en enorm huvudstad på hög höjd, byggd över aztekernas Tenochtitlan, rik på museer, muralmålningar, marknader och enastående mat.

Zócalo, ett av världens största torg, ramas in av Metropolitankatedralen och Nationalpalatset, där Diego Riveras muralmålningar berättar Mexikos historia. Intill avslöjar de utgrävda resterna av Templo Mayor den aztekiska huvudstadens hjärta, och Palacio de Bellas Artes, med sin marmoryta och art déco-interiör, ligger en kort promenad västerut.

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