Description

Treat yourself to an unforgettable cultural journey through Mexico, where history, architecture and tradition come alive around every corner. Start your journey in Mexico City, a bustling capital rich in heritage, then marvel at the legendary pyramids of Teotihuacan, impressive relics of pre-Columbian civilization.
Then enjoy an authentic experience as you take part in Día de los Muertos, the Festival of the Dead, celebrated in all its splendor in the state of Michoacán. In the picturesque villages of Pátzcuaro and on the mysterious island of Janitzio, you'll witness rituals deeply rooted in Mexican culture, with flower-filled altars, traditional music and moving tributes to the departed.
Continue your discovery by exploring Mexico's most beautiful colonial cities: Morelia, nicknamed the “pink city” for its typical stone; Guanajuato, romantic and colorful, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; and San Miguel de Allende, a mecca of art and culture.
Not forgetting a tasty stop at a tequila factory, to learn all about Mexico's national icon and taste its artisanal flavors.
