Navigate your way through Mexico’s enormous and vibrant capital on this jam-packed Short Break Adventure. Set out on a city tour and learn the history surrounding the sights of one of the biggest cities in the Americas. Wander the stalls of Mercado de San Juan and be overwhelmed by the incredible array of produce on display. Venture out of the city and experience the incredible Aztec ruins of Teotihuacan with a knowledgeable local guide, then be welcomed into a family home to share some authentic dishes bursting with local flavours. In your spare time, simply chill out with a tequila or two and let this city’s ambience take over.
Highlights
- Bring 700 years of history back to life as your expert local guide shares history and hotspots from around Mexico City – one of the biggest cities in the Americas!
- Visit the Metropolitan Cathedral – the biggest cathedral on the continent. Then, see one of Diego Rivera's (the lover of Frida Kahlo) most famous murals at Museo Mural.
- Head out of Mexico City to learn about Teotihuacan culture, from pre-Hispanic pyramids to modern handicrafts.
- Explore local towns and visit two independent, family-run businesses where you can pick up authentic, locally made (or grown) souvenirs such as tequila, candy and cacti.
- Feast on a delicious dinner in a Mexican family home, with food sourced straight from organic farms and cooked with local flavours (and a whole-lotta-love)!

My niece and I made last minute plans for a very short window of time that we had before she heads back to her job as a High School Spanish teacher. We found the Four-Day Stopover on Intrepid's website and it fit the bill: our timeframe, in a Spanish speaking country, with very informative history tours. Intredid made arrangements for extending our hotel stay an extra two days and airport transfer. Our tour guide, Alfonso, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, caring and professional. As a retired engineer, he is doing what he loves. Showing Mexico City and its history to eager learners. Thank you, Alfonso, and thank you Intrepid.

A short but sweet trip. City stop over in Mexico City is a great first taster of the City and Mexico as such if you've never been to the country. I enjoyed the arts, the culture, the people, the history and the language. Not to mention the food and the colors!
