Hey there!

I’m Alexis Sánchez, a journalist and cultural guide passionate about Lucha Libre, one of Mexico’s most powerful symbols of identity and popular culture.

Recipient of the 2009 “Ángel Fernández” Award from the Mexican Federation of Sports Journalists, I’ve dedicated my work to sharing the stories and traditions that make Mexican wrestling a living cultural heritage. Through Lucha Mexico Experience, I offer an immersive journey into the world of Lucha Libre, where passion, history, and community come together.

What you'll do?

Begin with a warm welcome at Taquería El Caifán in Historic Downtown Mexico City and enjoy a quick history of Lucha Libre from Salvador Lutteroth to modern stars like El Místico.

Learn the four basic rules to fully understand everything happening in the ring tonight.

Tacos and beer time!

Enjoy two authentic tacos or quesadillas, including vegetarian and vegan options such as squash blossom, huitlacoche, and mushrooms. Drinks include beer, soda, or water. While savoring these local flavors, we will review the history, rules, and lineup of matches, giving you the full context to experience Lucha Libre like a true fan.

Lucha Libre Time!

Next, we will take the Metrobus to Arena México on Fridays and Sundays or Arena Coliseo on Saturdays to enjoy a Lucha Libre show from premium ringside seats.

This is a chance to experience the daily mobility culture of Mexico City and travel like locals do, embracing sustainable urban transportation. The cost of the trip is included.

KNOW THE

Venues

Arena México is the cathedral of Lucha Libre and the most iconic wrestling venue in the world, comparable to Madison Square Garden for basketball or Wembley Stadium for soccer. With a capacity of 16,000 spectators, it hosts thrilling Lucha Libre shows every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday.

Arena Coliseo hosts Retro Saturday shows and is affectionately known as The Funnel of La Lagunilla due to its unique shape and size. With a capacity of 5,500 spectators, it offers an intimate and authentic Lucha Libre experience, connecting fans with the sport’s rich history.

Live the Lucha Libre Experience!

After two hours of an unforgettable Lucha Libre show from some of the best seats in the country, I will share recommendations for other places where you can continue exploring Mexico City’s wrestling culture.

I can also assist you if you want to purchase souvenirs outside the arena.

To ensure a safe return to your next destination, I will point out a safe Uber pickup location at the end of the show.

You can choose to end the experience there, or if the show is at Arena México, I can take you back to Taquería El Caifán in Downtown for free via Metrobus, completing your cultural journey safely and conveniently.

It was a unique experience to watch the tournament in the arena. We started the experience at a taco place that was delicious. It was a group of 10 people. We had good seats with nice view of the ring. Alex was very knowledgeable about the culture, players and it was great learning from him. Highly recommend the experience!

It was a truly amazing experience! This was my first time seeing lucha libre, but I'd always been interested in it because my father is a Japanese professional wrestling fan and loves lucha libre. When I actually saw it, I was overwhelmed by the brilliance, power, and energy of the audience, and I was instantly captivated. It was truly an amazing experience. Although my arrival was delayed by about 30 minutes due to a flight, my host, Alexis, was so courteous and kind, and I was truly touched. I had spoken to her about my concerns before arriving in Mexico City, and she was always so kind and helpful. I am truly grateful for her kindness. Thanks to Alexis, my first stay in Mexico City was an unforgettable memory. If I visit Mexico City again, I definitely want to see lucha libre again! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience! I hope everyone will experience it too!

We had a wonderful experience with Alexis. We were able to appreciate lucha libre so much more than if we just bought tickets to the show. Alexis explained the rules and history clearly, and his passion for the sport was obvious. 10/10 would strongly recommend this experience!

Take this tour! As a lifelong fan of lucha libre Alexis is so knowledgeable, hospitable and absolutely the perfect guide for this experience. He helped us understand the story of the sport and gave us some important commentary during the matches. Definitely a highlight of our time in Mexico City.

Viva Lucha Libre !!!! We absolutely had a blast with Alexis! This was not the usual meet up with your guide and walk around getting lectured tour. It was more like going to a sporting event with your REALLY avid fan friend. Alexis is very friendly and VERY knowledgeable about lucha libre. I was kind of on the fence about going originally but I am very glad I did. It was really alot if fun and Alexis made it completely stress-free. He took care of everything from the pre-meetup communication all the way through getting us back to our hotel after. Definitely recommend it!
