What to expect
Leave the city before the traffic and reach the site for its 08:00 opening, when the Avenue of the Dead is still empty. A guide walks you from the Ciudadela to the Pyramid of the Moon, with a stop for obsidian and pulque on the way back.
08:00 entry + Avenue of the Dead + tequila stop Departures run from Mexico City, and the whole experience takes about 6 hours — enough to fit it into a single day of a wider Mexico City itinerary.
