Allen’s Book of Mormon Tours

8-Day Land Northward Tour

October 18 – 25, 2025

$2,195.00 per person double occupancy

Does not include international air flights.

(United States to Mexico City and Oaxaca to the United States)

 

The land northward probably extended into what is now known as the Mexico City valley, where Mexico City is located. As such, we are justified in identifying the Mexico City valley as “the northernmost part of the land.” A good possibility also exists that sites like Monte Alban in the state of Oaxaca (land northward) were controlled by the first century BC Nephites. The archaeological evidence at Monte Alban shows that a minority civilization gained control during this time period, quite possibly the Nephite-Mulekite fusion. This suggests that Mulekites were living in the areas of Oaxaca-Mexico (land north northward) during the time period of 26 BC. The archaeological record supports strong settlements in the land northward (Oaxaca-Puebla-Mexico) during this Preclassic Period. Sites such as Monte Alban, Teotihuacan, and Cholula were all active city centers prior to the coming of Christ (see Helaman 6:9–10, 12).

 

You will visit two LDS temples, nine archaeological sites and museums, and four locations associated with the Book of Mormon. Call today to book your space on this once-in-a-lifetime Book of Mormon experience. 1.801.226.5200 or email us at

Itinerary

Day 1: Saturday, October 18, Mexico City

Our flights take us to Mexico City, one of the largest cities in the world with a total population of more than 26 million in the valley.  Upon arrival we will transfer to our hotel. (No meals included)

 

Day 2: Sunday, October 19, Mexico City

This morning we will attend church with local members.  We will then visit the LDS Temple and Visitor’s Center of Mexico City.  In the afternoon we will visit the beautiful National Museum of Anthropology, one of the most spectacular museums of its kind in the world. Touring the museum will provide us with an excellent overview of our tour as we are exposed to many beautiful exhibits ranging from ancient pottery to gold and jade jewelry.  Lunch will be provided while at the museum. (Breakfast, Lunch)

 

Day 3: Monday, October 20, Mexico City

Today we will visit the ancient ruins of Teotihuacan.  Occupied from about 200 BC to AD 900, Teotihuacan was one of the largest populated cities in the world during its peak. The inspiring pyramids of the Sun and Moon attract millions of visitors to this most popular archaeological zone in Mexico. This may have been the great city built by King Jacob of the Gadianton Robbers (See 3 Nephi 7). We will return to Mexico City in the afternoon. (Breakfast, Lunch)

 

Day 4: Tuesday, October 21, Puebla

After checking out of our hotel, we will visit the Shrine of Guadalupe where we will learn about the origin of the Catholic Church in Mexico. We then continue our travel to the city of Cholula, which is home to the largest-based pyramid in the world.  It dates to the pre-Classic era (500 BC).  It was destroyed at the time of Christ and has been built over several times. A Catholic church sits peacefully on top of the pyramid today. We will spend the night in Puebla. (Breakfast, Dinner)

 

Day 5: Wednesday, October 22, Oaxaca

Today we head into the rugged mountains of Oaxaca. The Oaxaca valley has archaeological evidence that dates to the Jaredite time period and as a result is considered to be the ancient area of the Jaredite lands called Moron.  LDS scholars believe that the Jaredites landed on the Pacific side and moved inland and that a branch of their society settled in the Oaxaca (pronounced Wa-Ha-Ca) area.  Three kingships later they moved to the Gulf Coast area.  Olmec/ Jaredite settlements began to show up along the Gulf Coast between 2000 and 1500 BC.  As we arrive in the colonial city of Oaxaca, we will visit the site of San Jose Mogote dating to 2600 BC and having Mesopotamian style stonework which may indicate their coming from the Tower of Babel area and time period. (Breakfast, Dinner)

 

Day 6: Thursday, October 23, Oaxaca

Today we will visit the Zapotec ruins of Mitla, a post-Book of Mormon site, but one that has some fascinating history associated with it.  Although built about AD 700, it shows outstanding accomplishment in the workings of cement and intricate design.  A visit to a local artisan shop and the world-famous Tule Tree, believed to be one of the oldest trees on earth, will conclude our day.  (Breakfast, Lunch)

 

Day 7: Friday, October 24, Oaxaca

This morning we will climb by bus to the top of the mountain where the ancient Zapotec ruins of Monte Alban are located. Here we will summarize the three civilizations identified in the Book of Mormon: the Jaredites, Mulekites and Nephites. It was at Monte Alban where evidence of a written language was first discovered in Mesoamerica. The site dates from 500 BC to AD 700 and may have been controlled by the Nephites beginning at the reign of King Mosiah at about 100 BC.  In the afternoon, we will visit the black pottery shop and learn about how this beautiful pottery is created.  A visit to the Santo Domingo Church and Museum will complete our visit to the city which was home to Benito Juarez, a contemporary of Joseph Smith, and Mexico’s only pure native President.  (Breakfast, Lunch)

 

Day 8: Saturday, October 25, Flights Home

You will transfer to the Oaxaca airport where you will check in for your flights home. Your journey to the Book of Mormon lands has come to an end, but you will take home memories that will last a lifetime. (Breakfast)
