What you can expect

Visit the Basilica of Guadalupe and live a fascinating experience that will immerse you in the rich history and spirituality of the most visited sanctuary in the world, receiving more than 20 million people a year. As you tour its imposing facilities, you will encounter a unique mix of vice-regal and modern architecture, reflecting the cultural and religious importance of this sanctuary.

Its history dates back to 1531, when it is believed that the Virgin Mary appeared to the Indian Juan Diego here on the Tepeyac hill; according to legend, the Virgin left her image imprinted on Juan Diego's cloak as proof of her appearances where she expressed her desire that a temple dedicated to her be built there.

Located in Tepeyac, a site where the mother goddess Tonantzin was previously venerated by the Mexicas, millions of pilgrims and visitors gather to pay homage to the Virgin and experience the devotion that has endured throughout the centuries.

During the tour, we will visit all 10 religious, historical and architectural treasures that the Villa de Guadalupe complex houses:
