Your exclusive day expedition initiates with a pickup from your hotel in Mexico City. The first stop is the Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco - the most massive archaeological complex and ranks fifth nationally. Its title originates from the Nahuatl language. This site has been recognized as a national cultural heritage and a UNESCO site since December 1, 1999. You’ll gain insight into its significance and the people who dwelled here from your guide. There are theories suggesting that the ruins might have ties to the ancient Olmec civilization that arrived on the Gulf of Mexico’s shores over fifteen hundred years ago.
Next, we’ll travel to Cuernavaca, often referred to as the ‘city of the eternal spring’. This locale boasts a pleasant weather, offering optimum temperatures for most parts of the year.
