Templo Mayor Museum
The Great City of the Aztecs has fallen but its still alive through its vestiges. We will walk together inside the museum with impresive pieces found in the site and beautiful views of the archeological zone.
Archeological Windows
As an additional part of the museum visit, we will descend to the basement of certain buildings of Guatemala street to personally explore other Aztec ruins in chambers designed as archaeological spaces, where the Aztec city comes back to life. We call these very special areas "archelogical windows".

We'll proceed to a serene space where you can refresh or enjoy a coffee. At this designated spot, you'll experience virtual reality, witnessing the grandeur of Tenochtitlan coming to life before your eyes. You'll be transported back in time, standing by the Aztec Templo Mayor, experiencing the city's splendor over 500 years ago, unfolding right before your eyes.
I'll also provide you with a sensory experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the scents, sensations, and textures that were common during the Aztec era.
Seminario Square
We'll move on to a square beside the magnificent Metropolitan Cathedral. This spot is unique as modern interpretations of Aztec dances and rituals are still practiced here.
