Our all inclusive packages allow our passengers to enjoy classic Mexico, a un

📍 Templo de Santo Domingo, Puebla

One of Puebla's many jewels, the Capilla del Rosario is an absolute marvel.

⛪ The chapel's interior is adorned with intricate golden stucco reliefs covering nearly every surface. This opulent decoration earned it the nickname "The House of Gold" and led some to call it the "eighth wonder of the world" when it was completed in 1690.

⛪ Six large canvases by painter José Rodríguez Carnero adorn the chapel's walls. These paintings depict the Joys of the Virgin and use a chiaroscuro style.

⛪ The lower walls of the chapel feature the iconic blue and white Talavera Puebla tiles arranged in a clever pattern. These tiles form a gigantic rosary, with each bead represented by an angel's head.

📍 Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, CDMX

Glimpses of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, a sacred site that's home to the miraculous image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which draws millions of pilgrims annually.

Its unique circular design allows visitors to view the tilma, or mantle, of Juan Diego from any angle, and its stained glass windows allow natural light to create a play of light and color in the interior throughout the day.

The basilica also houses an impressive pipe organ strategically placed behind the crucifix, near the main altar, contributing to the overall visual harmony of the basilica's interior.

📍 Teotihuacán, Estado de México

✨ Teotihuacán is a pre-Columbian marvel and home to the Pyramid of the Sun—the third-largest pyramid globally, standing 216 feet tall.

✨ This ancient city once supported 100,000 residents, making it the largest urban center in the Americas before the 15th century.

✨ The Avenue of the Dead stretches nearly 3 miles, lined with temples and platforms that display sophisticated urban planning and astronomical knowledge.

📍 Teotihuacán, Estado de México

Today is the Spring Solstice and we welcomed it in Teotihuacán along with hundreds of the Sun's closest friends 🌞

From our Tour Manager, Julia Miller:

“New-agers decided a long time ago that the archaeological sites are full of energy.

They go to the sites, especially on the Spring Equinox to recharge with the energy from this site.

They dress all in white and gather. At Teotihuacan someone at some time decided that the maximum time and place is at noon on March 21 in front of the Pyramid of the Sun.

In the past they would have climbed the pyramid but now they can’t so they gather in front.

There was a big circle of people holding each others’ arms and moving in the circle. In the center, there was a cloth on the ground with offerings (fruit, etc.) and a guy dressed in “Aztec” costume and a couple of other people in costume who were performing a ceremony.”

📍 San Carlos, Sonora

Sunset over the Sea of Cortez... This is what's called the Golden Hour, when the Tetakawi, a granite monolith piercing San Carlos' coastline, turns a fiery orange. Rising abruptly from the Sea of Cortez, this distinctive peak is a gorgeous landmark and the protagonist of many an IG feed.

It doesn't get fresher than this!

🦐 Meet Mazatlán's changueras—a force in the city's seafood economy. These women seafood vendors set up in open-air markets, where they operate from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., selling fresh shrimp directly from fishing boats to both locals and tourists. And yes: You can take these beauties home with you, frozen and properly packaged, of course!

🦐 Did you know...? Mazatlán's shrimp industry sparked to life in the 1930s when a Japanese delegation suggested fishing to locals after the Mexican Revolution. What was once a mere by-product transformed into "pink gold" that turned this coastal city into a seafood destination.

This is a word you'll hear just about every day when you visit!

Pro Pronunciation Tip: The 'n' is soft and quick, almost blending into the 'd'. Practice saying it with a gentle, respectful tone—that's key to sounding authentically Mexican 😉

📍El Fuerte, Sinaloa

Did you know...

⚔️ El Fuerte, a colonial town in Sinaloa, Mexico, has been firmly woven into the Zorro legend. The Hotel Posada del Hidalgo claims to be the birthplace of Don Diego de la Vega, Zorro's alter ego.

La Bufadora, Ensenada - Whales and Wine Tour

📍 Ensenada, Baja California La Bufadora is a fascinating natural phenomenon! And did you know that in English, its name means "The Snorter?" 😆 🌊 One of the largest marine geysers in North America, La Bufadora shoots water up to 100 feet high every few minutes. This natural spectacle is caused by air trapped in an underwater cave, creating a powerful spray when waves crash in. 🌊 Located about 17 miles south of Ensenada, Mexico, the thunderous sound it produces as water and air explode from the blowhole inspired this quirky moniker. 🌊 While La Bufadora draws crowds for its impressive water show, the surrounding area offers panoramic views of Todos Santos Bay. On clear days, you might get lucky and spot migrating whales from this vantage point during the winter months. This is just one stop on our "Whales and Wine" tour! Season is over, but start planning for 2026—click https://linktr.ee/acloserlooktours for details! 📹 Edel Hernández #slowtravel #visitmexico #travelmexico #packagetours #mexicotours #mexico #immersiontravel #whalewatching #valledeguadalupe

📍 Palenque, Chiapas It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood... Did you know...? 🏛️ Palenque's structures feature some of the finest Maya architectural design and bas-relief carvings in Mexico. The Temple of Inscriptions houses one of archaeology's most significant discoveries—the intact tomb of King Pakal, found in 1952 by Alberto Ruz Lhuillier after removing a stone slab in the temple floor that concealed a 69-foot stairway descending into the pyramid. 🏛️ Though impressive above ground, experts estimate we've only uncovered about 10% of Palenque's original urban area. The mapped archaeological zone spreads out over approximately 1.5 square miles, but most structures remain hidden beneath dense Chiapan jungle, with potentially hundreds of buildings still waiting to be excavated. 🏛️ Palenque was one of the first Maya sites to have its ancient hieroglyphic texts substantially deciphered. The inscriptions revealed the city's Maya name was "Lakamha" (meaning "Big Water") and documented a precise royal lineage that covered 400 years from 431 to 799 CE. This breakthrough transformed our understanding of Maya civilization from mysterious ruin to documented historical society. 🇲🇽 For over 30 years, A Closer Look Tours has taken small groups of travelers to Mexico to experience its culture, history, gastronomy, and folklore.
