Este es un nuevo tour, diseñado de manera especial para conocer lo más famoso de Teotihuacán y también un sitio que el 98% de los visitantes no conoce.

El tour comienza con la visita a la pirámide de la Luna, donde hablaremos de los mitos que rodean esta ciudad milenaria. Habrá un tiempo para escalar y tomar las mejores fotos sin multitudes.

Después caminaremos por la calzada de los muertos y veremos la impresionante pirámide del sol. Nuestro transporte hará que no caminemos largas distancias y evitemos el sol.

Visitaremos un complejo habitacional con murales que se conservan en magnifico estado. Tendremos un espacio tranquilo para comprender como el estilo de vida de esta civilización prehispánica.

Por último, veremos el templo de Quetzalcoatl y un artesano local nos mostrará los pigmentos vegetales que se usaron para dar color a los murales.
