Description

Meet your host outside of the Hilton Reforma Mexico City where you'll be given a short introductory talk to set expectations. Begin your adventure by heading to the North Bus Station in Mexico City. Get your public bus tickets to San Juan de las Piramides, the town where the Teotihuacan Pyramids are located. Once you arrive, meet your local Teotihuacan guide and enjoy an in-depth tour of approximately 1.5-2 hours where you'll learn about the fascinating history and culture of Teotihuacan. After exploring the pyramids, visit an obsidian workshop run by a local family that has been in the business for generations. Try their homemade pulque and other local delicacies like marmalade and homemade salsa. Learn about their day-to-day lives and how they make their living through their work with obsidian. Enjoy an authentic, vegan or veggie homemade lunch at a local's house. Savor traditional Mexican dishes such as tlacoyos, enchiladas, arroz rojo, frijoles, mixiotes de nopales, and more. The menu changes daily! Return to Mexico City on the same bus that brought you to Teotihuacan, and take public transportation back to a central location in the city. This aim of this tour is for your money to stay in the community and empower family-run businesses.
