Eat in a local house & access to restricted areas in Teotihuacan
Overview
It will take approximately one hour to reach Teotihuacan. Upon arrival at the Teotihuacán ruins, your knowledgeable tour guide will lead you through a detailed exploration of the ancient city, spanning its four stages of construction from 100 B.C. to 650 A.C. This journey will elucidate the significance of customs, traditions, and commercial goods as enduring elements of our national identity today.
You will have exclusive access to a restricted area, aptly named "the hidden treasure," where your guide will unveil a site under investigation by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH). This location served as an early exploration and art studio within an ancient palace, offering a unique insight into Diego Rivera's exploration of ancient artistic expressions.
Then, a short ten-minute drive from the pyramids will lead us to Erica's middle-class home, where you will savor delectable local cuisine, providing a taste of the town's essence through its authentic dishes.
