Description
The adventure begins in Coyoacán, a neighborhood brimming with history and character. Its cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, and lively plazas have long been a hub for artists, writers, and intellectuals. A glimpse into its rich past sets the stage before free time allows for exploration at a leisurely pace—perhaps a quiet moment in a local café or a stroll through the bustling markets.
Next, depending on the option selected, step into the world of Frida Kahlo by visiting either the legendary Blue House or the innovative Casa Kahlo (Red House). At the Blue House, explore the intimate spaces where Frida lived and worked, surrounded by her personal belongings, original pieces, and the vibrant atmosphere that shaped her life and art. Alternatively, at Casa Kahlo, experience a modern and immersive tribute to the artist, featuring contemporary storytelling and sensory rooms that reinterpret her legacy from a fresh and thought-provoking perspective.
Moving on to Ciudad Universitaria, the campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), a masterpiece of architecture and artistic expression awaits. Its stunning murals, including the spectacular mosaic façade of the Central Library, depict the country’s history in vivid detail. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this stop is a tribute to the power of art as a storyteller of national identity.
Finally, the day culminates in Xochimilco, a place of unparalleled charm and tradition. Enjoy a traditional Mexican lunch at a local restaurant—only included for those who select the lunch option—and then glide through ancient canals on a trajinera, a colorful wooden boat that has been part of the landscape since pre-Hispanic times. Take in the festive atmosphere and learn about the area’s fascinating history as you drift along its legendary waterways.
A day filled with history, art, and unforgettable landscapes, this tour offers a unique glimpse into the cultural heartbeat of Mexico City.
