Adventure Calls in February For CDMX and Beyond

During this eight-night experience, participants will explore renowned highlights of Mexico City and its surroundings, as well as unique off-the-beaten-path locations unfamiliar to most visitors—and even to many residents. All with comfort in mind. 

While history and archaeology feature prominently, the itinerary also includes ample opportunities for exceptional cuisine, shopping, and leisure time in CDMX.

Accommodations will be at the historic Hotel Geneve on Calle Londres, just a couple of blocks from Reforma Avenue and the Angel de la Independencia. Known for its comfort and hospitality, the hotel is also home to the celebrated Telephone Bar.

The tour will be led by Carlos Rosado van der Gracht, a fully bilingual Mexican-Canadian, Senior Editor of Yucatán Magazine, SECTUR-certified guide, and PhD Candidate in Heritage Studies.
