Mexico City - Basilicas of Guadalupe 



When travelling by taxi the pilgrimage churches of Guadalupe can be reached by either of two routes.
The Paseo de la Reforma initially leads north to its junction with Avenida Matamoros. On the roundabout stands a statue of the last Inca of Peru, Atahualpa, brought here from the Peruvian town of Cuzco in exchange for a figure of the penultimate Aztec ruler Cuitláhuac which now stands in the Plaza de Armas in Cuzco. In the Tlatelolco district of the city the road continues to the Glorieta de Peralvillo, from where the Calzada de Guadalupe and Calzada de los Misterios lead direct to the pilgrimage site.
