Teotihuacan: Upptäck dess historia och mysterier
Beskrivning
Hej! Jag är Gio, en lokal INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History) utexaminerad praktikant och certifierad reseguide. Vi börjar vår upplevelse med att träffas på Parque México som ligger i centrala Condesa. I Mexiko har vi ett lokalt talesätt: "full mage, lyckligt hjärta." Så innan vi åker för att utforska Teotihuacán kommer vi att stanna vid ett lokalt bageri där du kan köpa en god kaffe/bröd på morgonen. Efteråt går vi ut för att se solens pyramiden, månpyramiden och Quetzalcoatls tempel. Följ med mig och utforska denna fascinerande stad som innehåller många berättelser och mysterier. Vi kommer att utforska monumenten, bostadsområdena och fascinerande väggmålningar. Lär dig processen för hur de kunde göra murbruket för att limma ihop stenarna. Upptäck de olika färgerna som lokalbefolkningen använde för att dekorera staden. Förundras över den magnifika storleken på ett av de viktigaste religiösa och inflytelserika centra i Mesoamerika.

Resplan
Vi börjar i Mexico City, upphämtning sker i Parque MExico (Condesa). Detta är överföringstiden från CDMX till Teotihuacan.
Vi stannar till vid detta lokala bageri där man kan köpa kaffe för att börja dagen innan vi beger oss till Teotihuacan-området.
Vi kommer att börja i detta utrymme som är ett bostadskomplex där de gamla Teotihuacanerna brukade bo. Här kommer vi att utforska såväl byggtekniken som väggmålningarna som dekorerade väggarna.
I detta utrymme kan vi beundra storheten i månpyramiden och dess olika konstruktionsstadier. Vi kommer också att förstå vad dessa stora monument egentligen byggdes för.
Här kan vi se storleken på Solpyramiden, som skulle vara den största konstruktionen i Teotihuacan.
Här kommer vi att upptäcka ett annat bostadsområde, men lite längre från Teotihuacans centrala område. På den här sidan kommer vi att se väggmålningar i ett mycket gott bevarandetillstånd.
I templet "Quetzalcoatl" kommer vi att upptäcka storheten i denna otroliga byggnad där vi kan beundra toppen av konst och stenhuggning i Teotihuacan.
Vi avslutar turen vid samma startpunkt, som skulle vara i Mexico Park. Denna tid är överföringstiden från Teotihuacan tillbaka till CDMX.

I had high hopes for this tour given that the guides are educated in archeology and history in the site. While that was the case, I was disappointed that we did not get to visit Palacio de quetzalpapálotl or Palacio de Tetitla which are included in the itinerary in the description. The guide did give a detailed walkthrough in the museum that is not mentioned in the itinerary.
Hola Travis, I appreciate the feedback, the site has been going through some remodeling and we had to change the itinerary slightly so you could have access to restrooms, the majority of them had been closed, also with the rains we had the system tends to go down and we would hate to have waiting an indefinite amount of time waiting for the gates to open. Our goal is to always provide the smoothest experience, if this was a part you were really expecting to see you could've told Bruno that day so he would make sure to make everything possible to visit those specific areas. When we change the itinerary we try to include another area that's equally as valuable so you don't miss out on anything, but instead have something as cool to see. Kindly, Gio and the team. :)
The whole experienced was relaxed, and enjoyable. The driver was highly skilled and terrific in the traffic, maintaining safety and comfort. And our guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and interesting. I learnt a lot, and he answered questions with helpful information. Pace, just right. Highly recommend
Gio was a very knowledgable guide with great narrative skills - the visit to Teotihuacán was a very interesting and educative experience. Not only was his tour amazing but he also took the group's questions and answered them in detail, offered great context, and ensured that we left with lots of knowledge about the people that inhabited Teotihuacán and their culture. The logistics were executed perfectly, the pickup and drop-off punctual, the drive comfortable (with bottled water available in the vehicle). I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visit this incredible place.
Gio is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide with great English skills. The whole tour ran smoothly from start to end. The bakery stop was much appreciated since the tour starts early in the morning. We were driven between 3 different sections of the site, to avoid too much walking in the hot sun. You can currently climb up the Temple of Quetzalcoatl and part of the Temple of the moon, which was cool. One thing that differentiates this tour from many others is that you go straight to Teotihuacan without stopping at all those other lesser sites, letting you enjoy it before the crowds arrive!
Gio went far beyond basic historical information. He explained the cultural and symbolic background of many details, helping us understand not just what happened, but why it happened and how it influenced society. It added a rich and thoughtful depth to the entire experience. It would be better if it’s little bit longer but anyway we had beautiful experience and very well informed!
So happy to have an expert guide for the Artificial Mountians (Pyramids) at Teotihuacan. Gio provided anthropological context for the amazing sights we saw, making them more meaningful and memorable. It was very convenient to have transportation from our stay near Condesa. Great job Gio!
A really well run , intimate, informal and personal tour by Gio. It was great to get going early in the morning (plus a cappuccino and a pan dulce at Rosetta!) and be ahead of the crowds (look at the photo and note how few people around) and be back early enough that you still have your afternoon and lunch in Condesa. Gio's knowledge and passion for the Teotihuacan really enhanced the tour of the site and the understanding of the city. The visit to the residential historical site really made it special to understand the culture and an extra bonus as the tour buses don't go there. Highly recommend Gio's Teotihuacan Tour.
Had a great time with Gio! We were a great group size ( only 5 of us) and got there early enough so that there were no crowds. Gio did a great job of showing us different aspects of the Teotihuacános life and culture!
Gio clearly has a passion for the detailed art preserved at these sites, even taking us to the off-site Tetitla murals that other tours rarely go to. He interpreted the various murals, carvings, and aesthetics in an accessible and engaging way, and used this as great context for how the people of the city lived, giving a nuanced picture of what life was like over the centuries. This was actually my third guided tour of Teotihuacan (I keep on convincing people to visit CDMX with me), and there was still quite a bit that was new for me. The logistics are also efficient and smart - early start to beat the traffic, no wasted time waiting for hotel pickup, breakfast at the hottest bakery in the entire city, and back in time for lunch!
Such a great and informative tour and all planned in a good amount of time. Nothing boring like typical tours. Nothing rushed either. Gio was fantastic!
