Trip Highlights
Explore magical towns, sip world-class sparkling wine, and unwind under one of the tallest monoliths in the world.
Wander through two picture-perfect magic towns
Sick of scrolling through travel reels and not actually going anywhere? Get out of the city and into Tequisquiapan and Bernal: both full of charm, culture, color, and delicious local bites.
Climb a giant rock that’s famous around the world
Did you know that Peña de Bernal has the third largest monolith on Earth! It’s a short but powerful hike, and once you’re up there, the views are unreal. Great energy, amazing photo ops, and that feeling of “wow, I actually did this.”
Sip amazing wines at two of Mexico’s best vineyards
We’re talking about Freixenet México, known for their sparkling wine (yep, they make it underground in a cava!), and Donato, a super stylish vineyard with fantastic reds and a modern vibe. Think: peace, vineyards, and great vibes.
A touch of sweet culture
Reconnect with your senses—yes, there’s a chocolate museum and a candy museum. Plus, the slow pace, local crafts, and warm people of Bernal make you feel like time actually pauses for a bit.
