Overview

Discover two pivotal periods in Mexican history on this private full-day tour with pickup and drop-off at your Mexico City hotel, including transport and a private guide.

We begin at the Tula Archaeological Zone, the ancient Toltec capital renowned for its advanced architecture. Admire the imposing Atlantes figures and learn about the innovative construction techniques of this culture, such as the use of columns, reliefs, and stucco finishes that set a precedent in Mesoamerica.

Afterwards, we'll visit the historic Jesuit complex of the National Museum of the Viceroyalty, located in Tepotzotlán. During the colonial era, the Jesuits played a key role in evangelization. Here, you can marvel at the extraordinary gold leaf decoration of the Temple of San Francisco Javier, a jewel of New Spanish Baroque architecture.

An experience that combines pre-Hispanic splendour and colonial artistic richness in an exclusive and culturally enriching tour.

Activity itinerary

Zona Arqueologica de Tula
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
The city was founded by Ce Ácatl Topiltzin Quetzalcóatl, sovereign who gave great prosperity to the region, which was cut short due to the confrontation between followers of the god Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca, gods tremendously opposed in Aztec mythology.
Museo Nacional del Virreinato
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
The Society of Jesus came to Tepotzotlán in 1580 to be employed in the work with the Indians and founded a residence where the parents learned Otomi, Nahuatl and Mazahua. He also established the Seminary of San Martin for the education of the children of the principal Indians. Finally, he established the House of Probation so that young people who wished to enter the Society could attend the novitiate. The school was for the exclusive use of the Jesuits, while the hostelry and the temple were public spaces and the Seminary of San Martin was inhabited only by indigenous people. The property was built on a natural promontory that was used to build three levels, currently identified as access plant, ground floor and upper floor.
