Erica and Warren complete a week-long guided tour of Mexico City and its surroundings, covering four distinct sites across the final days. In Taxco, a silver-mining town founded in 1529 with Spanish colonial architecture, the group navigates steep cobblestone streets by bus before exploring on foot and visiting the Santa Prisca del Taxco Church, built in 1751.0:44 At Xochimilco, a surviving Aztec canal system on the outskirts of Mexico City, they take a canal boat tour and eat at an on-site farm-to-table eco-farm where produce goes directly to guests or local restaurants.6:15 The pre-dawn highlight is a hot air balloon flight over the pyramid complex at Teotihuacan — closed to ground visitors due to COVID at the time — with a rough landing near a cactus adding to the chaos.8:12 The tour ends in downtown Mexico City at the Zócalo, the site of the ancient Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, conquered by Hernán Cortés in the early 16th century and later built over by the Spanish.18:12 Warren notes the cathedral's tilting walls, measured by a weighted pendulum and floor plaque.16:32 The week was arranged entirely by local hosts, and the pair credit that local knowledge as essential to accessing experiences they could not have arranged independently.
