Private Day Tour of Xochicalco Archaeological Site and Cuernavaca

Your private day trip begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Mexico City. Your first destination is the impressive Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco, one of the largest and most important pre-Hispanic sites in the country, ranked fifth nationally. Its name originates from the Nahuatl language, and the site was officially recognized as a cultural heritage site by both the Nation and UNESCO on December 1, 1999. As you explore the ruins, your guide will share fascinating insights into its historical significance and the people who once inhabited it. It is believed that these ruins may have been linked to the ancient Olmec civilization, who arrived on the Gulf Coast more than fifteen centuries ago.

Following your visit to Xochicalco, the journey continues to the charming city of Cuernavaca, affectionately known as the “City of Eternal Spring” for its consistently mild and pleasant climate. Here, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the historic Palacio de Cortés, considered the oldest colonial civil structure in the Americas. You'll have the chance to admire Cuernavaca’s colonial streets and key landmarks, soaking in the city's relaxed atmosphere and rich history. After a full day of discovery and cultural immersion, you’ll head back to Mexico City, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel.
