Peter Greenberg explores Mexico with President Felipe Calderón, one of the most dynamic leaders of Latin America, for a history-making television special. Mexico: The Royal Tour goes beyond the headlines to journey deep inside Mexico and offer viewers access to extraordinary locations, landmarks and cultural experiences. It’s a fast-paced, non-stop adventure through Mexico’s iconic spots as well as experiences that aren’t found in any guidebook, but are still accessible to travelers.

 

The ultimate tour of Mexico begins in Los Pinos, the Mexican White House, where the President engages Peter Greenberg in a revealing no-holds-barred interview about his history in office and the future of Mexico. Together they visit President Calderón’s hometown of Morelia, meet his mother, and learn about the influences that shaped the leader’s personal and political career. Watch as they explore the legendary ruins of lost civilizations, seek out their descendants, and find the ancient mysteries these sites have hidden for generations.

From soaring across the skies in a hot air balloon for a bird’s-eye view of Teotihuacon, to whale watching in Baja California, to rappelling stories into a seemingly bottomless pit, Peter Greenberg uncovers the essence of this captivating and complex nation with the President as his guide.

This is not the Mexico of media headlines or the pristine Mexico of travel brochures—this is the real Mexico.
