  Located to the north of Mexico City on Tepeyac Hill, the Basilica of Guadalupe is among the most frequented Catholic pilgrimage sites globally. Annually, over 20 million visitors come, particularly on December 12, the feast day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
• Antigua Basilica de Guadalupe - Upon arrival, the tour starts with the Old Basilica, constructed in the 18th century. This Mexican Baroque masterpiece served as the main shrine until 1976, when the new Basilica was opened due to ground subsidence. Your guide will share insights into its history, architecture, and the challenges it has faced over the centuries.
  Its significance dates back to 1531, when the Virgin Mary appeared to the indigenous Juan Diego. Tradition holds that the Virgin miraculously imprinted her image on Juan Diego’s tilma (cloak), an image that remains perfectly preserved over 490 years later, displayed on the sanctuary’s main altar.
• Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe - Designed by architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, this modern structure accommodates over 10,000 people and features a circular design that allows viewing of the Virgin’s image from any angle. Here, visitors can approach the original image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, suspended on the main altar. A moving walkway enables viewing without disrupting visitor flow.
  This is a deeply emotional moment for many visitors, offering a chance for prayer, reflection, or silent contemplation.
• “Cerro Del Tepeyac” - Ascend the hill where, according to tradition, the Virgin first appeared to Juan Diego.
