Pickup from Mexico City
Where we pick you up depends on your city. Check yours before booking.
| You’re staying in | Pickup | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Mexico City | Meeting point | Transport upgrade only: meet at Ángel de la Independencia (Reforma), Parque Lincoln (Polanco) or Parque México (Condesa); hotel or Airbnb pickup on request |
| La Marquesa | Meeting point | Without transport: meet at Valle del Potrero, Estado de México; the tour starts and ends here |
If you add round-trip transport from Mexico City, we meet you at one of three central points so we can avoid city-center traffic: Ángel de la Independencia (Reforma), Parque Lincoln (Polanco) or Parque México (Condesa). Hotel and Airbnb pickup is possible, but we ask guests to come to one of these points when they can. The vehicle depends on group size: small groups usually travel in a private car and larger groups in a bigger vehicle. At pickup, confirm your name with the driver and contact us right away if anything seems wrong. Without transport, meet us at Valle del Potrero in La Marquesa, Estado de México, where the tour starts and ends.
Read this before you book
Send us your accommodation first. Not every address can be reached by our vehicles. Send your hotel or Airbnb to one of our advisors on WhatsApp and they will confirm whether we pick you up at the door or agree a meeting point nearby.
Your pickup time is not the tour start time. They are very different. We collect you well before activities begin, because the drive and the other pickups on the route take time. Your advisor gives you your exact pickup time when your booking is confirmed — go by that time, not by the departure hour shown on this page.
