The tour begins with a panoramic visit to the city center, where you will admire some of its most representative landmarks, all beautifully illuminated and decorated for the occasion. Highlights include the impressive Monument to the Revolution, one of the country's most recognized symbols, followed by the Ángel de la Independencia, majestically shining as it overlooks Paseo de la Reforma. This avenue is one of the city's most famous and beautiful, and during the Day of the Dead, it comes alive with colorful altars and offerings that adorn its surroundings, immersing you in an atmosphere that is both festive and solemn.

After exploring the monumental side of Mexico City, you will head to a pantheon, a place filled with history and spirituality.
