Tour Details
After meeting at a strategic point in the center, we'll head south of Mexico City until we get to Coyoacán, one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the capital. This area is famous for having been home to figures such as Leon Trotsky, Octavio Paz, Diego Rivera, and Frida Kahlo.
We'll arrive in Coyoacán, where we'll learn about its ancient history, from the settlement of the first communities in the highlands of Mesoamerica to its rise to power after the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. You'll also have time to get yourself some breakfast.
We'll stroll through cobbled streets and picturesque squares while admiring its impressive 16th-century Baroque mansions. One of the most special moments of the day will arrive as we approach the Frida Kahlo Museum, located in the famous Casa Azul. We'll discover the intimate world of the Latin American artist by touring the house where she was born, created part of her work, and died.
Afterwards, we'll continue our tour in Xochimilco and discover its splendid combination of natural and cultural heritage. There, we'll board a trajinera, a small traditional boat decorated with flowers, to sail the canals and artificial islands that have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Of course, you'll have time to enjoy a typical Mexican lunch on your own.
Finally, after a journey of approximately 9 hours, we'll begin our return to the starting point in Mexico City.
