Spend a day exploring Teotihuacan and getting to know a little piece of our family’s Mexico
We keep groups personal and comfortable, traveling in our vans rather than large tour buses. We don’t take you from one tourist stop to another; instead, we want to share the places, food and traditions that are part of our daily lives
Before the pyramids, you’ll be welcomed into our grandmother’s home for breakfast with our family. Then we’ll explore Teotihuacan together, talking about its archaeology, history, architecture and the people who once called this ancient city home
After our visit, we’ll return to our family home for lunch and share two recipes that mean a lot to us: our red and green mole, passed down through generations. We’ll finish with a small tasting of local pulque, including natural pulque, distilled pulque and locally made liqueurs
We simply want you to leave having seen Teotihuacan, tasted our food, met our family and experienced a little bit of Mexico the way we know it!
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We’ll be waiting for you in front of the fountain with the woman carrying the water jars. Look for our white van and your guide nearby. We’ll be there ready to welcome you and start our day together!

1 hour • Admission ticket free -
2San Juan Teotihuacan
Welcome to our family home! We’ll sit down together for coffee, hot chocolate, tea, fresh fruit, eggs and traditional Mexican sweet bread. It’s how our family starts the day, and we’re happy to share it with you before we head to Teotihuacan!!
35 minutes • Admission ticket free -
3Zona Arqueologica De Teotihuacan
After breakfast, we’ll head to Teotihuacan and spend the morning exploring the ancient city together. We’ll walk along the Avenue of the Dead, climb the Pyramid of the Moon, and explore its temples and plazas. Depending on the day and site access, we may also visit the Temple of the Feathered Serpent or the Beatriz de la Fuente Museum of Teotihuacan Murals. As anthropologists, we’ll go beyond the pyramids and bring the ancient city to life through archaeology, history, anthropology, and the stories of the people who built and lived here!!
3 hours • Admission ticket included -
4San Juan Teotihuacan
After exploring Teotihuacan, we’ll return to our grandmother’s home for one of the most special parts of our day: lunch. Our family’s red and green mole are made from recipes passed down through generations, and each one carries a little piece of our family’s history and traditions. We’ll serve them with other homemade Mexican dishes, just as we have enjoyed them at home for years. For us, sharing this food is a way of sharing a part of who we are and the Mexico we grew up with!!
1 hour • Admission ticket free -
5San Juan Teotihuacan
After lunch, we’ll share a tradition that is deeply connected to our family and the region: pulque. We’ll taste natural pulque, pulque distilled on its own, and two local liqueurs made from distilled pulque with prickly pear and nopal. Everything is made locally, and our family is part of the cooperative behind these traditional drinks. We’ll share their history, how they are made, and why they are still part of our culture today!!
1 hour • Admission ticket free -
6Mexico City
After a day filled with history, archaeology, family recipes and Mexican traditions, we’ll make our way back to Mexico City. We’ll return to Parque México around 3:00–3:30pm, hopefully with full hearts, full stomachs, and memories of a very special day in Mexico. We hope you leave with more than just photos of Teotihuacan—you’ll be taking home a little piece of our family and the Mexico we love!! ❤️
