Welcome to Mexico City & the Ancient City of Gods!

Hola! I´m Gio a local graduate intern of INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History) and certified licensed tour guide.

We´ll begin our experience by meeting at Parque Mexico located in the center of Condesa.

In Mexico we have a local saying: "full belly, happy heart". So before going out to explore Teotihuacan we´ll first stop at a local bakery (10 min drive) where you can get a nice morning coffee/pastry afterwards we'll head out to learn about the Sun pyramid, Moon pyramid and Quetzalcoatl Temple.

Join me and explore this fascinating city that holds many stories and mysteries. We'll explore the monuments, residential areas and fascinating mural paintings. Learn the process to how they were able to make the morter to glue the stones together. Discover the different colors that were used by the local people to decorate the city. Walk through some of the old paths the ancestors once stood on. Marvel at the magnificent size of one of the most important religious and influential centers in Mesoamerica. I'll share with you the latest theories and myths about this ancient place and answer your questions about Mexican history.
