Lucha Libre Experience in Mexico City

Highlights

Gear up for event by sampling an ancient Aztec beverage at a traditional bar
Get an authentic experience at a legendary arena with a small group
Learn about the history of this distinct national pastime from your guide

Summary

Meet your guide at either the downtown bus station, Metrobús Cuauhtemoc, or the nearby Palacio de Bellas Artes to begin your evening tour. Your night starts at a ‘pulqueria,’ a bar specializing in pulque, the sweet, milky, lightly alcoholic drink beloved by the Aztecs. Then, you'll head to Arena Mexico, a decades-old indoor stadium famous for its thrilling lucha libre events. Cheer along as the outrageously outfitted ‘luchadores’ battle before an enthusiastic crowd. During the lively match, your guide will explain the history and quirks of Mexican-style wrestling, such as why the fighters sport colorful masks. Alternatively, if you've booked your experience for a Saturday you'll visit the iconic La Arena Coliseo. After the event, your tour ends outside the Arena.
