Your experience begins when we pick you up in the comfort of your hotel, Airbnb or private residence, in a private, air-conditioned and secure vehicle, with a professional driver. From that moment, everything is organized for you to relax and enjoy a meaningful day. Located north of Mexico City, on Tepeyac Hill, the Basilica of Guadalupe is one of the most visited centers of Catholic pilgrimage in the world. It is estimated that more than 20 million people visit each year, especially on December 12, the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

When you arrive, you will start by visiting the Old Basilica, built in the 18th century. This jewel of the Mexican Baroque was the main shrine until 1976, when the new Basilica was inaugurated due to the sinking ground. Your guide will explain its history, architecture and the challenges it faced during centuries of existence. The reason for its importance dates back to 1531, when the Virgin Mary appeared to the indigenous Juan Diego. According to tradition, the Virgin left her image miraculously printed on the tilma (cloak) of the young man, an image that is still preserved, more than 490 years later, in perfect condition and displayed on the main altar of the sanctuary.

Conçue par l'architecte Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, cette structure moderne peut accueillir plus de 10 000 personnes et sa forme circulaire permet d'observer l'image de la Vierge depuis n'importe quel point. Vous pourrez ainsi vous rapprocher de l'image originale de la Vierge de Guadalupe, suspendue au maître-autel. Une passerelle mobile vous permettra de l'admirer sans interrompre le flux des visiteurs. C'est le moment le plus émouvant pour de nombreux visiteurs. Un moment de prière, de réflexion ou simplement de contemplation en silence est autorisé.

Vous grimperez la colline où, selon la tradition, la Vierge apparut pour la première fois à Juan Diego. Vous y trouverez la chapelle de Cerrito, une charmante construction offrant une vue panoramique sur l'ensemble du complexe guadeloupéen. En chemin, vous découvrirez des jardins, des sculptures religieuses et des fontaines qui relatent visuellement le miracle guadeloupéen.
