Description

It’s time for a food adventure. Mexico City’s markets are some of the most vibrant places in the city. Your first stop on your Mexico City tour is a relatively unknown market that boasts a large art. Your guide will explain the importance of the murals and bridge the gap between the political movement of that period with what is going on in today’s Mexico. Here you will have a chance to savour tamales and atole – a traditional warm drink made from masa After this, travel the city just like the locals do, by riding the public metro. This market boasts an unmatched selection of flowers . You’ll also find fruits, herbs, meat, fish, pinatas and more, all for sale among the various stalls. Along the way, you’ll also get to sample some classic Mexican street food, such as tacos and taste some local friuits. After buying some fresh vegetables (and learning about local farming practices), head over to a local family business, where you’ll learn how to prepare your own salsa. Together, you’ll wash, cut and grill the ingredients, then smash them in the traditional way, using a molcajete (mortar and pestle). Taste your homemade salsa with a classic huarache.
