Like many shy but brilliant people, Mexico doesn't reveal herself all at once. She might show you her party persona in Cancun or Puerto Vallarta, but the real Mexico holds onto her secrets, only revealing them when you take the time to look deeply. Uncover the real Mexico on an unforgettable adventure starting in the heart of Mexico City, a dynamic blend of history, art, and urban vitality. Imagine wandering through cultural treasures, indulging in gourmet delights, and getting lost in architectural masterpieces like Casa Barragan. A must-see is Casa Azul, the enchanting former home of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, now a museum bursting with her artistic spirit. Next, we’ll head to the Valle de Bravo, one of Mexico’s enticing “pueblos mágicos,” nestled on the shores of Lake Avándaro. This picturesque retreat, with its misty, forested hills and terracotta-tiled rooftops, offers a serene atmosphere reminiscent of Italy’s northern lakes. Known as a haven for Mexico City’s elite, Valle de Bravo promises tranquility and breathtaking natural beauty. The highlight of our journey is an immersive experience with world-renowned floral designer Gabriela Salazar at La Musa de las Flores. Our final destination is the mystical village of Tepoztlán, another charming “pueblo mágico” near Cuernavaca, known as the legendary birthplace of Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec feathered serpent god. Tepoztlán captivates with its dramatic, copper-toned mountain cliffs and rich blend of colonial and indigenous culture. Let’s embrace the beauty, magic, and kindness of Mexico together. It’s an adventure you’ll cherish forever!
