Guests choose one of three cultural excursions: a trek to the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan and a visit to the Basilica de Guadalupe; Saturday shopping at the world-famous Bazar Sabado and a visit to the Frida Kahlo Museum housed in her family's Casa Azul, or a half-day tour of the sites that make this vast cosmopolitan hub so unique and culturally rich.
