Your next plan, with people from there. On WIPUU you book tours, day trips and activities in Mexico with local hosts: guides, tour operators and people who know the place. Pick an experience, pay in the app and your QR ticket stays saved on your phone. Heads-up: the app itself is in Spanish. FIND THINGS TO DO Search by destination or by type of plan: city tours, day trips, archaeological sites, Pueblos Mágicos, talks and events. Save what you like to Favorites and decide later. EVERYTHING IN VIEW BEFORE YOU PAY Every experience shows its photos, description, dates and the price of each ticket type. Pick a date and how many tickets, and see the total before you pay. NOTHING TO PRINT Once your payment is confirmed, your QR ticket shows up in the Boletos (Tickets) tab. On the day, show it to your host when you arrive and you're set. QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU GO? Once you have your ticket, message your host from the app: meeting point, what to bring, what time to arrive. GIFT AN EXPERIENCE, NOT ANOTHER MUG Buy an experience for someone else: we email them their code, or you share it yourself. Choose an open date and they pick the day when they redeem it. DO YOU RUN EXPERIENCES? Already a WIPUU host? In Cuenta → Mis experiencias (Account → My experiences) you publish experiences with photos, dates and capacity, see bookings in your calendar and your reviews, add your team and validate tickets with your phone's camera.
