The pilgrimage is an immersive experience where students explore the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe and other sacred sites related to the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico City and its surrounding areas. Sessions facilitated by Universidad Iberoamericana CDMX faculty and local experts will provide insights into the Virgin of Guadalupe’s role in Mexican history, art, and contemporary life.
