Chic Escapades: Navigating Mexico City In Style

My husband and I recently went on a seven-night trip to Mexico, combining the historic San Miguel de Allende (SMDA) with the vibrant Mexico City (CDMX). CDMX was on my list for a long time and I was thrilled to finally make it there.

Our journey began in San Miguel de Allende, where we spent two nights. Then, we traveled by private car to Mexico City, where we stayed for five nights.

In this guide, I’m sharing the highlights of our trip in CDMX, offering insights and tips for those who may not travel often but are eager to explore new destinations. 

I hope my experiences inspire you to consider your journey.

San Juan Teotihuacán

Explore the captivating mysteries of the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon, stroll along the historic Avenue of the Dead, and delve into the well-preserved archaeological site. Then, take to the skies in a hot air balloon, witnessing the ancient city from a breathtaking perspective as you drift above the majestic pyramids and the beautiful Teotihuacan landscape. Enjoy an authentic Mexican meal and experience a fascinating journey through time, culture, and the skies for an unforgettable adventure.

We took a day trip here and rode a hot air balloon over the ruins at sunrise! Afterwards, we explored the ruins by foot up close and personal. Because there is limited shade, we highly wearing lots of sun protection (sunglasses, sunscreen, sun hat– all of it!), as the UV rays are incredibly high in Mexico City.  Here is the tour we used, if you're interested: https://gyg.me/Ew0SVOW5

9 PM - Make sure to bring hat and sunscreen, as it gets hot with no shade! Make sure to check out the popular sights: Pyramid of the Sun, Pyramid of the Moon, Temple of Quetzalcoatl

Teotihuacán is one of the most important pre-Columbian archaeological sites in Mexico, offering a glimpse into the ancient civilizations that once thrived here.

The stunning ancient city to discover! Be sure to stop by the museum on site
