Description
Discover the legacy of Frida Kahlo in the historic neighborhood of Coyoacán and go on a traditional trajinera ride in Xochimilco on this small group tour of Mexico City.
Tour Details
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Mexico City to begin a small group tour of up to 10 people. We'll start our panoramic tour in Roma, one of the city's best-known areas due to its large number of restaurants, museums, galleries, parks, and shops.
We'll continue to visit the Condesa, where we'll see wide avenues lined with trees and majestic mansions. We'll then head to Plaza Mexico or Plaza de Toros, the largest bullring in Mexico, located in the Ciudad de los Deportes. It seats more than 40,000 people and is used exclusively for bullfighting events and concerts.
Next, we'll proceed to the Coyoacán area to visit the Church of San Juan Bautista and the iconic fountain of the Coyotes, followed by a stroll through the picturesque cobblestone streets of this neighborhood. The tour will continue next to the Frida Kahlo House-Museum, better known as La Casa Azul, where we'll admire the exterior of this strikingly colorful home and discuss the legacy of one of the most famous Mexican painters of all time.
After that, we'll head to the Ciudad Universitaria, the university area of Mexico City. There, we'll check out the Rectorate Tower and the Central Library, where we'll admire a mural painted by Juan O'Gorman. We'll also see the mural of the Olympic University Stadium, painted by Diego Rivera.
Following our visit to Coyoacán, we'll continue to the Xochimilco district. There, we'll enjoy a peaceful ride on a trajinera, a traditional boat used on the canals that crisscross this area of the city.
At the end of the trajinera ride through Xochimilco, we'll finally return to your hotel in Mexico City, where we'll arrive 8 hours after pickup.
