Cultural and Historic Mexican Explorer

Your guide will meet you at your hotel for a 6-8 hour privately guided visit of Mexico City’s charming southern neighbourhoods. You will visit the interesting colonial suburbs of Coyoacan and San Angel. You will also have the chance to visit pretty Xochimilco where you have a two-hour private ride in one of the traditional gondola-like boats, or trajineras, to explore these ancient waterways. Time and interest permitting, you can also visit the Dolores Olmedo Museum.

Visit the ancient city of Teotihuacan in the valley of Mexico. This important archaeological site is a complex home to multi-family residential compounds, the avenue of the dead and a small portion of vibrant murals that have been exceptionally well-preserved. You’ll spend some time exploring and learning more about the fascinating history of this area and site.

Your private guide will meet you at your hotel to collect you for a full day’s private tour of the nearby UNESCO-protected colonial city of Guanajuato. A splendid day out enjoying some the country’s best museums (Mummy Musuem), or perhaps a trip to the old silver mines, to simply exploring this crooked jumble of a town on foot (cars cannot fit in the streets). Private transfer back to San Miguel de Allende at the end of the day.

Early today you will meet your guide at your hotel for a full day excursion to Teotitlan Del Valle, possibly the prettiest village in the east side of the Valley. Numerous families here are dedicated to weaving rugs and other woollen garments, you will spend some time visiting a family home/studio to see the process of how they are made. Many still use the traditional techniques of carding and spinning their own wool, then dying it with natural colours and finally weaving on solid-wood looms. Then, learn about the internationally famous cuisine of Oaxaca. Visit a Zapotec Family to discover the local people’s secrets to Oaxacan cuisine whilst enjoying learning more about their culture.
