Experience the spiritual heart of Mexico and its ancestral power on the private Basilica of Guadalupe & Teotihuacán tour with DreamUS. At Tepeyac, the Basilica of Guadalupe—an exquisite example of New Spanish Baroque built between 1695 and 1709—was erected to safeguard the miraculous image revealed on Juan Diego’s ayate (cloak) after the apparitions of 1531. Today, the circular New Basilica (1976) welcomes millions of visitors, offering a clear, uninterrupted view of the original ayate. During the visit, your certified guide will lead you through the devotional plazas and provide an in-depth explanation of the 1531 apparitions to Juan Diego (December 9–12), why a sanctuary was commissioned, and how the image of the Virgin appeared on his ayate—laying the foundation for the Basilica you behold today.

Teotihuacán—The City of the Gods: walk along the Avenue of the Dead to the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon (now open for climbing), and the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, where offerings and obsidian bear witness to a metropolis that shaped Mesoamerica. This private tour includes round-trip private transportation, hotel pickup and drop-off at your door, free time for lunch (barbacoa, mixiote, quesadillas; meal not included), a tasting of pulque, tequila, and mezcal at an obsidian workshop, as well as bottled water, soft drinks, and beer on board.
