After breakfast, set out to discover one of the most fascinating capitals in the world. Begin at the Plaza of Three Cultures, then move into the historic center to see the Zócalo, the majestic Metropolitan Cathedral, and the remains of the Aztec Templo Mayor. Drive through the elegant Paseo de la Reforma and stroll in Chapultepec Park, one of the largest city parks in the world.
In the afternoon, visit the revered Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a powerful spiritual destination for millions of Catholics. Explore both the 18th-century old basilica and the strikingly modern structure that now houses the Virgin.
Later, travel to Xochimilco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its floating gardens. Enjoy a scenic ride on a colorful trajinera (decorated boat) through the ancient canals. As night falls, the day ends with dinner and music at Plaza Garibaldi, where mariachi bands, tacos, and tequila fill the air with joy and flavor.
Today, leave the bustle of the capital behind and step into the charm of Mexico's Pueblos Mágicos. Begin with El Oro de Hidalgo, a once-booming mining town full of European-style architecture. Visit the Dos Estrellas Mine, now a museum, offering insight into the region's rich mining history.

Stroll through the colorful streets before returning to Guadalajara in the evening.
Head to the mountainous state of Guanajuato, a city of tunnels, alleyways, and legends. Upon arrival, enjoy a walking tour of this vibrant university city, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
