After an early breakfast, we’ll head outside Mexico City’s bustling limits and step into the past—both literally and figuratively—as we journey to the ancient city of Teotihuacán. 

With its monumental pyramids, sacred avenues, and mysterious energy, this awe-inspiring site invites us to explore a civilization that thrived long before the Aztecs.

Once we’ve explored the site, we’ll be welcomed into something truly special: a one-of-a-kind, home-cooked lunch at our guide’s abuela's (grandmother’s) house. This is no tourist stop—this is a warm, local moment shared with family, over dishes made with generations of love and tradition. 

From there, we’ll channel our creativity in a hands-on pottery class with a local artisan! Whether you’re a first-timer or seasoned dabbler, you’ll enjoy shaping clay into your own keepsake—a beautiful, personal reminder of your artistic journey in Mexico.

As the day winds down, we’ll regroup back in Mexico City for a relaxed dinner in the charming Roma neighborhood. We’ll dine al fresco at a leafy garden hideaway, surrounded by twinkling lights and the hum of the city.

This morning, we journey to the southern edges of Mexico City, diving into the enchanting world of Xochimilco—a place where ancestral farming traditions flourish amid a unique, living ecosystem. We’ll glide through the canals aboard a slender wooden cayuco, just like the pre-Hispanic peoples did centuries ago. 

Our adventure continues at a Chinampa, one of Xochimilco’s famous floating gardens. Here, we meet Adela, a traditional Mexican cook whose culinary knowledge is rooted deeply in the land. Together, we’ll pick fresh ingredients straight from the fields and learn to craft tortillas from maize and rich, colorful sauces from chilies. This hands-on cooking experience is more than just a class—it’s an invitation to connect with the stories, culture, and soul behind every bite. We’ll then share the meal we’ve created together, savoring flavors and friendships in a peaceful garden setting.

After lunch, it’s time to hop on a Trajinera, the iconic painted boat of Xochimilco. As we float along festive canals, live mariachis serenade us and floating food vendors offer tasty treats. 

Our cultural journey continues with a visit to Casa Azul, the Frida Kahlo Museum! Step inside her beautiful home, filled with personal treasures and powerful art that tells the story of a woman who transformed pain into breathtaking creativity. Just nearby, the Anahuacalli Museum awaits—an architectural marvel designed by Diego Rivera to showcase his collection of pre-Hispanic artifacts. 

As the day winds down, the evening is yours to explore. Wander through nearby neighborhoods, discover a local eatery that catches your eye, or simply relax and reflect on the day’s discoveries. Your guide is always ready with insider tips.

Get ready for an unforgettable bike adventure through the heart of Mexico City! 

Since it’s Sunday, the city’s streets transform into a dynamic playground for cyclists and pedestrians during “Muévete en Bici” — a grassroots celebration where you can dive into the city’s energetic spirit on two wheels.

We’ll pedal along the iconic Paseo de la Reforma, soaking in a parade of towering skyscrapers, historic monuments, and green spaces including Chapultepec Park, a sprawling urban oasis bursting with nature, where we’ll make a special stop at the Ethnobotanical Garden to discover the deep connections between plants and Mexican culture.

After building up an appetite, it’s time for a true taste of local flavors with a lunch that highlights the rich, authentic street food culture of Mexico City. Think sizzling tacos, spicy chilies, and bold, fresh ingredients. Yum!

As evening falls, we gather for a farewell dinner filled with reimagined culinary classics and inventive cocktails. The terrace view of the restaurant that overlooks the city’s historic heart adds just the right touch of magic.

We will then step into the historic center for the breathtaking Ballet Folklórico at Palacio de Bellas Artes. This 90-minute spectacle is a dazzling journey through Mexico’s history and culture, and is the perfect celebration of the country’s spirit through the arts—an unforgettable way to end our adventure!
