Tula and Tepotzotlan

Highlights / General details

The first stop on this tour is the town of Tula, an archeological site and the ancient capital city of the Toltecas who are known for their master craftsmanship. We will visit the ball courts, or colonnades, which are believed to be the first in Mexico. Within these ball courts contain fine stone-carved figures and four 15-foot-high atlantes, or stone soldiers. These towering basalt figures resemble totem poles and are the main feature of the site.

We will depart from Tula and drive to Tepotzotlán, which is a beautiful city featuring much of Mexico´s religious art. Here, we will visit the church of Saint Francisco Javier, which is known for its gold-plated coverings and stunning decor.
