After this visit, we will continue to TEOTIHUACAN, archeological site and UNESCO´s World Heritage site since 1987, located at 50 km from Mexico City. Founded around the 5th century BC, the site was abandoned by its first settlers, the Teotihuacans. Among its important constructions are the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon, the Palaces of the Jaguars and the Plumed Snail and Quetzalpapálotl, the latter having preserved remains of mural painting. It seems to have been occupied by Toltecs at a time after the XVII century, testimony of which is the Great Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl. It is believed that it was the Aztecs who called the main street Calzada de los Muertos (Street of the dead). Back to the city of Mexico, we will have a guided tour visiting the main attractions of the capital of Mexico: The Cathedral built on top of an Aztec temple by the Spaniards, the Government Palace with its famous frescoes by Diego Rivera, one of Mexico’s most famous artists.

Continue through El Paseo de la Reforma, the most important street in Mexico City and its main artery in east-west direction. On their route are numerous roundels with monuments of famous personalities. The road was built at the behest of Emperor Maximilian, because he wanted a direct connection between the Castillo de Chapultepec, occupied by him and his office at the Zócalo. Consequently, the road was first called Calzada del Emperador (road of the Emperor). After he was deposed, it was renamed in view of their statues located in it as Paseo de los Hombres Ilustres (promenade of famous men) before finally adopted in 1861 its present name in honour of President Benito Juarez´s reform legislation. You will pass close to the Palacio de Bellas Artes, the Palace of Fine Arts and the Monumento a la Revolución.
