Tula is a town in the southwestern part of the state of Hidalgo and nearby are the remains of the ancient capital city of the Toltecs, also known as "Tula" or as "Tollan". Usually identified as the Toltec capital around 980 CE, the city was destroyed at some time between 1168 and 1179.
The tour continues from Tula to Tepotzotlan, which is a beautiful city containing much of Mexico’s religious art. Here, you visit the church of Saint Francisco Xavier, known for its gold plated coverings and stunning decoration.
Depending on the time, you may also have a chance to see the museum of religious art located in Tepotzotlan.
