Head to Acolman, and en route, visit the Church of the Fifth Apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe, where the Virgin Mary was said to have appeared to Juan Diego.

Find out more about the life of the ancient Aztecs while learning about the use of obsidian and maguey. Afterwards, continue to Ocotlan for a visit to Our Lady of Ocotlan. The apparitions of Ocotlan began in 1541 when the Virgin Mary appeared to Juan Diego Bernardino, who was going to bring healing water to his ill family. She showed Juan a spring of water and said: “Not only your relatives and friends will be healed, but also all those who drink this. Know that upon drinking just one drop, the sick will not only be cured, but they will receive perfect health!” From this, a shrine was constructed to commemorate this holy encounter and the apparition of the Virgin Mary.
