At 8:30 AM, we will warmly welcome you at the Gran Cibeles Café at Durango 195, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX. As a courtesy, both groups will receive a specialty coffee to start their adventure on a flavorful note and hipster people mode.
The journey to the Teotihuacan Valley takes approximately an hour, and along the way—traversing through Indios Verdes and Ecatepec—your guide will share intriguing stories about urban life and innovative public transportation initiatives, like hanging cable cars that aim to connect commuters and weave a fascinating social fabric in the city.
Upon reaching Teotihuacan, your guide will unveil four layers of stone and history—from 100 B.C. to 650 A.D.—reminding us that customs, traditions, and goods are the threads that weave our cultural identity.
Next, we will explore a special area known as “The Temple of the Ancient Masters of Mural Art,” a patio-palace currently under investigation by INAH. This historic workshop once bustled with artistic activity and still reveals traces of legendary artists like Diego Rivera, who helped breathe life into Mexico’s most influential 20th-century art movement — the “Mexican Muralism” — whose roots are deeply embedded in hidden stories.
At midday, just ten minutes from the pyramids, Erica’s house opens its doors to serve a mestizo cuisine that embodies the essence of Teotihuacan’s ancient and contemporary flavors.
MENU: Suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and celiac disease. Main ingredients: 100 cured corn, huitlacoche, xoconostle, tuna, nopal, insects; grasshoppers, escamoles, maguey worms, organic cheese, rice, beans, mushrooms, mole; with all its organic ingredients, chicken, avocado, lemon, salt, olive oil, and a variety of sauces with different spiciness levels.
Finally, we’ll return you to the same meeting point where we picked you up, or, if convenient, to your hotel or Airbnb—especially during the rainy season.
