Basilica of Guadalupe Self-Guided Audio Walk: The Pilgrims' Avenue, the Old Basilica That Sank and the Summit of Tepeyac

About this experience

The Basilica of Guadalupe is Mexico's national shrine, and its round new basilica turned fifty in October 2026. This walk reads it in two halves: the plaza, where three centuries of churches have fought a sinking lakebed, and the hill of Tepeyac, where the Church's account of December 1531 is set. Follow the pilgrims' avenue into the atrium. See the 1976 basilica under its copper roof, where a moving walkway passes the image, the old basilica of 1709 that was lifted and re-founded, and the nuns' church of Capuchinas beside it. Then climb past the Capilla de Indios and the tiled Pocito chapel to the summit chapel, and finish above both basilicas. Ten stops, about 1.3 km and 75 minutes, at your own pace in English or Spanish. The last two stops are reached by stairs. Churches are free; a dress code applies inside, and masses run almost hourly.
