Description
Join us on a journey through the heart of Coyoacán, one of Mexico City's most charming and historically rich neighborhoods. Our tour, led by knowledgeable local experts, offers an immersive experience that reveals the deep-rooted essence of Coyoacán, a place that has retained its unique character since pre-Hispanic times and flourished during the colonial era. 'Coyoacán,' meaning 'place of the coyotes' in Nahuatl, invites you to explore its cobblestone streets, where colonial mansions, ancient churches, and lively plazas tell the stories of the past. Your adventure begins in Plaza de Santa Catarina, a vibrant spot where tradition meets modern life. Here, you’ll get a taste of Coyoacán’s bohemian charm as you sip on a traditional Café de Olla, a rich and aromatic coffee brewed with cinnamon and piloncillo, and enjoy delicious churros from a local vendor. This delightful treat sets the tone for a day filled with cultural exploration. Next, we take you on a serene walk around the National Museum of the Interventions, housed within the historic Churubusco Monastery. The stunning architecture and rich history of the old town of Pueblo San Diego Churubusco come to life as you explore the grounds. This peaceful stroll offers a unique opportunity to connect with Mexico's past, while the tranquil surroundings invite reflection. Our journey continues to the picturesque square outside the Church of the Immaculate Conception, known as “La Plaza de la Conchita.” Believed to be the site of Mexico’s oldest religious building, this charming square provides a fascinating glimpse into the country’s rich spiritual heritage and history. The peaceful ambiance and historical significance make this stop a highlight of our tour. One of the most captivating parts of our journey is a visit to the historic San Juan Bautista Church, a stunning landmark that dates back to 1552. As you wander through this historic site and the serene park in the heart of Coyoacán, you'll witness the vibrant life of the locals and gain a deeper understanding of the neighborhood's rich culture and history. This short but enriching walk offers a unique perspective on one of Mexico City’s most beloved areas. No visit to Coyoacán would be complete without experiencing the charm of Plaza de Santa Catarina, one of the neighborhood’s most iconic small parks. Here, you can relax on benches under the shade of trees, explore surrounding cultural centers, and browse local craft shops. The plaza has been a gathering place for generations, and its enduring appeal is a testament to Coyoacán’s vibrant community spirit. As our tour winds down, we invite you to take a leisurely stroll through Callejón del Aguacate, one of Coyoacán’s most enchanting alleyways. This historic cobblestone street is steeped in local legends and colonial-era significance. As you explore, you’ll learn about the alley’s role in the history of Coyoacán and discover the stories that make this area so unique.Includes
