Itinerary:
Day 1: Mexico City
Bienvenidos! Welcome to Mexico City. Check into your hotel this morning, where a welcome pack will be waiting for you. This will include all the information you need for your Short Break Adventure. If you have free time today, why not venture into the streets and check out this incredible city where modern meets ancient. Although crowded and smoggy, D.F. (Distrito Federal) offers a great variety of impressive museums, galleries and architecture, along with exciting night life and delicious street food. Why not head to the Zocalo – the city’s huge central square – to see Aztec ruins and architecture or relax in one of the many parks, plazas and gardens.

Pick up the rest of your travel mates today and head out of town by public transport, experiencing how locals move about this crowded city.

Important information
- 1. On Check-In to your hotel there will be a Welcome Pack waiting for you, with all information you need for your Short Break Adventure. 2. This Short Break Adventure is a ‘join in’ group departure, which means you are not accompanied by an Intrepid group leader. Instead, our local representative in each location will fill this role and the configuration of any fellow travelers in the group might change during the trip. This trip will run with a minimum of one person, so you may be joined by other travelers booked on the same date as you, or you may be on your own. 3. If your Short Break Adventure starts on a Sunday, please note the activities on Days 2 and 3 will be switched as the Museums are closed on Mondays.
