The Legend

In Aztec mythology, the dead must travel through Mictlan, nine treacherous levels of the underworld, before reaching eternal rest. Each level presents a unique trial from crossing obsidian winds, navigating rivers of blood, to facing jaguars that devour hearts.

"Our trail reimagines this ancient journey as a modern cocktail pilgrimage through nine of the city's most distinctive bars."

Each stop represents a level of the descent accompanied by a signature cocktail inspired by the trials within. Collect all nine stamps across nine levels and nine bars as you step beyond the living world and descend into Mictlan - with prizes along the way.

The Levels

Level I - Apanohuaia / Itzcuintlán

The Place
of Dogs

Your journey begins at a wide, rushing river, the first barrier between the living world and Mictlan.
Only a loyal Xoloitzcuintli, the sacred hairless dog of the Mexica, can guide your soul safely across the waters. But choose your companion wisely. Those who mistreated dogs in life are left behind, forever stranded on the shore.
Find your guide. Cross the river.
Begin your descent.

Level II - Tepectli Monamictlán

The Place WHERE MOUNTAINS COLLIDE

Two colossal mountains rise before you, crashing together with relentless force before tearing apart once more.
The dead must wait for the perfect moment, then make their dash between the peaks, too early, and they risk being crushed; too late, and the mountains close again.
Time your passage. Face the mountains.
Keep moving.

Level III - IZTEPETL

The Obsidion Mountain

The path climbs a steep and unforgiving mountain,
its surface covered in jagged blades of black obsidian.
Every step brings you closer to the summit,
but every misstep cuts deeper. There is no easy passage, only a path through stone sharp enough to draw blood.
Watch your step. Feel the edge.
Climb on.

Level IV - ITZEHECAYAN

The Place of Wind with Obsidian Blades

A The path leads into a frozen, desolate pass where ice and jagged rock stretch into the darkness.
Then the wind begins. A relentless, howling gale tears through the mountains, carrying razor-sharp blades of obsidian through the freezing air. There is nowhere to hide only the hope of making it through.
Brace for the cold. Face the wind. Survive the storm.

Level V - PANIECATACOYAN

The Place Where One Turns Like a Flag

A vast, barren desert stretches endlessly into the horizon.
But here, the ground offers no comfort and gravity holds no power.
Gale-force winds sweep across the plains, lifting the dead from their feet and tossing them through the air like flags in a storm.
There is no path to follow. No shelter to seek.
Only the wind decides where you go.
Let go of the ground. Surrender to the wind.

The False Widow

Level VI - TIMIMINALOAYAN

The Place Where Arrows Are Shot

The path falls into darkness. There is no warning,
no visible enemy, only the sound of arrows cutting through the air.
From the shadows, an unseen force launches a relentless barrage, striking the wandering souls as they make their way forward.
You cannot see what is coming. You can only keep moving.
Stay alert. Trust your instincts. Dodge the unseen.

Level VII - TEocoyOHUALLOAYAN

The Place Where a Jaguar Eats the Heart

The path descends into a dark, silent cavern.
You cannot see what waits within. Then, from the shadows, a great jaguar emerges, swift, powerful and merciless.
It tears open the chest of the traveller and devours the heart.
Here, courage alone may not be enough.
Enter the darkness. Face the jaguar.
Guard your heart.

Level VIII - IZTEOCAYAN

The Place of Obsidian Water

A narrow river of black, glass-like water winds through a world of freezing fog.
The icy mist clings to the soul as the current grows heavier, littered with floating fragments of obsidian.
Every step becomes a struggle. Every breath takes effort.
After everything you have endured, exhaustion becomes the final enemy.
Keep moving.
Push through the fog.
The end is near.

Level IX -  CHICUNAMICTLAN

The Nine Waters / The House of Mictlan

At last, the journey comes to an end. Before you lie nine deep waters, still and dark, where the final traces of earthly suffering are washed away.
After crossing the rivers, mountains, storms and darkness, the soul can finally surrender. Here, you meet Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl, Lord and Lady of the Dead. There is nothing left to fear. Nothing left to overcome.
Drink deeply. Let go. Find your peace.
