Description

The experience begins with an exciting ride on the cable car (Cablebús), the longest in the world, from where you will have a privileged view of the architecture, labyrinthine streets, and mountains that surround this vibrant community. Along the way, you will see impressive murals and learn about the history and cultural significance behind them. In addition to the incredible view, we will visit a local park from which you can see the volcanoes and the city in the distance. Here we will talk about the history of Iztapalapa, how it has grown and overcome its challenges over time, as well as the most representative musical rhythms of the area, such as cumbia, sonidero and urban rock. To complement your experience, you will have the opportunity to participate in a tortilla activity, where you will discover the importance of this food in the Mexican diet and culture. This tour is ideal for those who are looking to get to know a non-touristy area, understand the daily life of Mexico City and enjoy its art and culture from a different perspective.
