What to expect
Take in some great history of Mexico on a private tour of the archaeological site of Tula and the convent of Tepotzotlán with pickup from Mexico City. Don't miss the chance to see the Atlantes, which are something like 5-meter statues of warriors related to Atlantis in this ceremonial center dating back to the 8th century.
Before the Mexicas, people from Tula were considered the best architects of ancient times. Learn from your knowledgeable guide how Tulenses were the ones innovating in different techniques of construction. Admire their use of sidewalks and decoration with stucco as you explore the site.
You'll then visit the convent of the Jesuit order, Tepotzotlán. Marvel at the chapel of San Francisco Javier, a very impressive construction as it is an example of Mexican Baroque style. The entire church is covered with gold leaves and you'll even see the room of the nuns which includes samples of their clothing.
