In the morning, meet your private guide in Mexico City and head to Teotihuacan. Once there, leisurely explore with your guide the archaeological zone on a walking tour seeing the impressive Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, walk down the famous Avenue of the Dead, and visit the beautiful Quetzalpapalotl Palace, and other sights of this ancient city.

Then, after a provided buffet lunch, feel the adrenaline and take an exciting ATV.
