Palenque – Day-trip!

Today you can join us on a day trip to visit the town of San Basilio de Palenque.

Declared World Cultural Heritage by the UNESCO. It has a fascinating history and it is the place where many Afro-Columbian styles of music and dance find their origin.

From Cartagena, it will take us about 1,5 hours to San Basilio de Palenque, where we will meet our local tour guide, a Palenquero. We will visit the village and the cultural center, where we will learn about the history of Palenque. Afterwards, we will be served a typical Palenque dish for lunch, After lunch, we will go back to Cartagena.

Mexico City!

visit the magnificent Mexico City, built on top of the ruins of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. Our first stop is the Zocalo (main square), one of the biggest public squares in the world. We will visit the Catedral Metropolitana – the biggest church in Latin America, and the Palacio Nacional (sometimes is closed without previous advice) – which hosts Diego Rivera’s murals depicting the history of Mexico. We continue to a handicraft market, where we will have time for some browsing. We then drive along the famous boulevard Paseo de
la Reforma, built during the short-lived reign of Emperor Maximilian to connect the main square and his castle in Chapultepec.

Our Lady of Guadeloupe!

We will visit the Basilica of Guadalupe, Latin America’s most revered religious shrine. It is here where the Virgin of Guadalupe is said to have appeared before an Indian named Juan Diego in 1531, and an image of her was miraculously emblazoned on his cloak. We will have time to explore the New Basilica de Guadalupe (the Old Basilica, built in 1700, is slowly sinking) and to see Juan Diego’s cloak.

Visit Teotihuacan archaeological site

Visit to Teotihuacan archaeological site
Teotihuacan is one of the most impressive cities of the ancient world, held sacred by the Aztecs.
