Tour description

 

Discover the most charming and lively neighborhood of Mexico City. Walk through its cobblestone streets, admire the colonial facades, and enjoy the unique atmosphere of its squares and gardens 🌿.


Throughout the tour, we will visit iconic spots such as colonial chapels hidden among gardens, cultural spaces dedicated to art and memory, and alleys wrapped in legends that reveal the most mysterious side of Coyoacán. You will also discover places where daily life blends with tradition, like its markets and squares, meeting points where the neighborhood comes to life.

During the tour, you will hear stories of key figures such as Hernán Cortés, Diego Rivera, and Frida Kahlo 🎨, whose lives left a deep mark on this area. The tour concludes in front of the iconic Blue House, now the Frida Kahlo Museum, one of the most important and visited cultural spaces in the city.

More than a walk, this Free Walking Tour is a cultural experience that allows you to connect with the artistic, historical, and traditional essence of Coyoacán, one of the most authentic, vibrant, and memorable areas of Mexico City ❤️.
