Mexico City - A high-octane megalopolis boasting old-school cantinas, intriguing museums, inspired dining and boating along ancient canals, Mexico City is the sun in the Mexican solar system. One of the world’s mega-cities, with over 25 million people occupying a shallow mountain bowl at over 2400m above sea level, Mexico City has to be seen to be believed. Bursting beyond the official federal district, the sprawling city is edgy, yet laid-back and cosmopolitan. Around the city lie the chief relics of the pre-Hispanic cultures of central Mexico.

Hotel: Hotel MX Roma - Merida 81, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc

5:30PM: For those who have arrived early, enjoy an evening exploring Mexico City's historic center with your guide, Ady. Stroll along the famous Paseo de la Reforma, one of Mexico's most iconic avenues, and arrive at the stunning Palacio de Bellas Artes. Discover the rich history and vibrant atmosphere of this remarkable area as you take in its iconic landmarks. Wear comfortable shoes! 

Our guide will recommend you some vegan places to have dinner on your own.

8:00 am - Embark on a day trip to Teotihuacan, an ancient Mesoamerican city known for its impressive pyramids. The ruins reveal a city planned and built on a massive scale, the great pyramids so huge that before their refurbishment one would have passed them by as hills without a second look. At its height, this must have been the most imposing city in pre-Hispanic America, with a population thought to have been around 150,000 (though estimates vary), spread over an area of some 23 square kilometres (as opposed to the four square kilometres of the ceremonial centre). Back then, every building – grey hulks now – would have been covered in bright polychrome murals.

Enjoy a vegan lunch with a typical family and have a Temazcal Treatment* - a traditional purification ceremony. 

Return to Mexico City in the late afternoon.
