What You Can Expect
Live la vida loca in Mexico City! In the evening, meet your guide and fellow tour members at a central Mexico City location. Start off at a popular local Mexican cantina for light dinner and drinks (own expense). As you dig into delicious fare, hear about what to expect the rest of the night.
After dinner, follow your guide to the subway to get to the Lucha Libre Arena, and settle into your reserved seat for an exciting 2-hour experience. Learn the basic rules of lucha libre, or masked wrestling, one of Mexico’s most beloved spectator sports, perhaps second only to soccer. Lucha libre draws huge audiences, and you’ll watch some of the best matches of the night. Cheer on as each masked fighter, or luchador, catapults into the ring. After the show, check out the masks for sale and snap shots of your visit to the stadium.
After the arena, head over to Garibaldi Square, teeming with locals, visitors and music. For an hour here, listen to Mexican mariachi bands and join in on the singing and dancing. Then, your guide escorts you to a Zocalo-area pub or club, the perfect place to wind down your night with drinks (own expense).
When your tour ends, your guide can take you back to the original meeting point, assist you in hailing a cab or provide tips on where you can discover more nightlife on your own.
