Day 1 - Mexico City: Arrive in Mexico City
Arrive in Mexico City
On arrival at the airport you will be met by our representative and transferred to your hotel.
Mexico City is quickly becoming a must-see destination in Central America with its revamped public spaces, exciting new culinary scene and buzzing downtown area. These combined with the city's historical elements make for what is sure to be a highlight of your trip.
Day 2 - Mexico City: Xochimilco – Frida Kahlo Museum & Coyoacan
Xochimilco – Frida Kahlo Museum & Coyoacan
This morning you will drive down into Mexico City’s southern neighborhoods. Reach Xochimilco where you will take a short ride in a traditional Trajinera boat along ancient canals and Chinampa agricultural islands. In the Afternoon, you will also visit the Coyoacan colonial quarter and Frida Kahlo Museum, where not only art and surreal ambiance is beautiful in the former living house of the painter together with her husband Diego Rivera, but you can also see an example of a traditional kitchen and how it is still used in many rural homes. Later in the afternoon you will return to hotel.
*Please note that Frida Kahlo Museum is closed on Mondays.
Breakfast included.
Day 3 - Mexico City: Shrine of Guadalupe and Pyramids of Teotihuacan
Shrine of Guadalupe and Pyramids of Teotihuacan
Located 50 kilometers’ northeast of Mexico City are the 'must-see' archaeological ruins of Teotihuacan - the site of the massive Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon which dominate the skyline of the complex. This was once the country's biggest ancient city and capital of the Aztec people, who ruled over the largest empire in the pre-Hispanic era. Guarded by mountains, this magnificent city is thought to have been founded early in the 1st century AD and reached its peak around 500 AD, when its influence extended down to Guatemala and as far north as present-day Texas. With the help of a local guide, we’ll have time to stroll down ‘The Avenue of the Dead’, uncover its many wonders, and imagine what life must have been like nearly two thousand years ago. We will also visit the Basilica de Guadalupe, Latin America’s most revered religious shrine 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. After our exploration, we return to Mexico City in the afternoon.
Breakfast included.

Price Assurance
At Eclipse Travel, our expert destination knowledge and decades of travel planning experience come at no extra cost to you. While many think booking through a tour operator is more expensive than planning a trip independently, that’s not the case. We’re paid by our travel partners—such as hotels, activity operators, and cruise providers—via commissions, not by our clients.
Our team negotiates the best rates for you and ensures you receive unbiased advice, with no preference for any particular supplier. In fact, where we secure higher commissions, we often pass the savings on to you, giving us a competitive price edge.
Additionally, we lock in exchange rates at the time of your deposit, ensuring no surprise costs when it’s time for final payment. You can rest easy knowing we’ll handle the details with our suppliers. The only exceptions are national park fee increases or fuel surcharges imposed after your booking, though these are rare.
Take advantage of our team’s expertise and let us help you plan the perfect holiday—hassle-free!
