Description

This mystical and esoteric tour of Mexico City will take us to discover some of its most enigmatic and history-filled places. We'll start at our meeting point at the Cibeles Fountain, then head to the Tlatelolco Ruins, where you can feel the energy of our ancestors. We'll explore the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, a fusion of pre-Hispanic, colonial, and modern times, a symbol of Mexican identity and the mysticism of the tragedies that occurred there. In Tlatelolco, the discovery of an Aztec cemetery has created an atmosphere of mystery; its spiritual energy is said to influence the area, and stories of unexplained tragedies reinforce its reputation as a place of great historical and spiritual power. Our next stop is the iconic Mercado de Sonora, famous for its mystical and esoteric atmosphere. Here, we'll delve into Santeria, herbalism, and other Mexican spiritual traditions, understanding the syncretism that defines our culture. We'll uncover the secrets of the ancient Afro-Caribbean culture known as Santeria. Details about their gods and deities, the power of plants, and the importance of animal sacrifice to carry out ceremonial activities. We'll end up in Colonia Doctores, visiting the altar to the Santa Muerte, where we'll connect with popular spirituality and the feelings of those who venerate this sacred figure. Throughout this experience, each place will offer transformative emotions, allowing you to experience the mysticism, history, and traditions of Mexico City up close and, above all, a logical reason to explain the esoteric practices and popular beliefs of the people who live in Mexico City.
