Hey there!
I’m Alexis Sánchez, 2009 “Ángel Fernández” award by the Mexican Federation of Sports Writers. I am passionate about Lucha Libre. I manage a Facebook community named “Mascara contra Mascara” where we present an historical perspective for the best approach to the national Wrestling of our days.
What you'll do?
We will make a short welcome at Taquería El Caifán in the heart of Mexico’s City Historic Downtown. You will know a history sprint from Salvador Lutteroth to El Místico. This is a quick review from the first days of this sport in our country to nowdays.

Tacos and beer time!
After that we will meet in Taquería El Caifán, you’re going to taste a couple of Tacos al Pastor before depart to the Arena.
There you’re going to get a free national beer (or a non alcoholic drink) and you’re going to get a free mexican wrestler mask as a souvenir. This is the time when all the history, context, rules and the line-up of matches for the night is reviewed.
Lucha Libre Time!
Finally we are going to get Metrobus to the Arena Mexico (fridays and sundays) or Arena Coliseo (saturdays) to presence a Lucha Libre show in great seats in the ringside zone.
Live the local experience. This is how mexican fans get to the Arena. The cost of the trip is on me.

- Maura2 months agoWe had a great evening with Alexis! Our group was a bit tired going in after a long day, but we definitely rallied at the Lucha Libre event. His detailed introduction to the sport was really helpful in enhancing our understanding of what was going on. My kids especially got really into the matches, and we all had a really great night! There was some hilarious but colorful language (obviously in Spanish) loudly directed at the luchadores, just as an FYI 😂
- Laura2 months agoMy family including 12yo really enjoyed the experience. Alexis was knowledgeable and a great storyteller. Highly recommend. Afterwards, my kid begged us to see another match during our stay, and Alexis shared info on the night his favorite wrestler would be there and how to get tickets.Lindsey2 months agoGreat experience! Alexis was extremely knowledgeable about lucha libre, answering every random question that we asked. It was very fun to attend the match, but so much more special with all of the context, history, and passion that Alexis brought to the evening. He offered to help if we had any other questions during our trip and made sure we got in our uber safely. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested.Mark3 months agoWe were a group of 6 on a private tour with Alexis and went to the Arena Coliseo on Saturday night. Alexis was a great a guide and is clearly passionate about Lucha Libre. We were keen to learn about the sport and it's history. It was interesting going to Mexico City's original Lucha Libre venue.
- Kate4 months agoSO MUCH FUN. This experience was the favorite of my 10 yo son. While we would still have been entertained had we gone on our own, I recommend to book with Alexis so that you are able to learn about the history and rules of lucha libre. Alexis is so knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. I also appreciate how he showed flexibility when we had to modify our reservation due to my son being under the weather. He offered support and guidance as my son was not feeling well, which shows a lot about his character. I am so happy that we booked with Alexis and recommend this experience highly!
