Cable Car + Urban Art: The Largest Neighborhood in the City

  • 3 hours and 45 minutes
  • English and Spanish

Description

Explore the fascinating Mexico City from above!


On this tour, we will visit Iztapalapa, one of the most populated and vibrant neighborhoods in the city, with 1.8 million inhabitants and surrounded by an impressive chain of extinct volcanoes.


We will ride the cable car (Cablebús), the longest in the world, to enjoy panoramic views of the local architecture, winding streets, and mountainous landscape . From above, we will appreciate the colorful murals and urban art that make Iztapalapa a unique place.

We will discover a park with incredible views and immerse ourselves in the musical rhythms that define the area: cumbia, sonidero, and urban rock .

Throughout the tour, we will learn about the history of daily life in the eastern part of the city at the beginning of the 20th century, the challenges faced by its inhabitants with public services, and how these issues were overcome to form a united community.

This tour is perfect for those who want to experience an authentic and non-touristic part of the city. Enjoy the scenery without much effort, as we will only walk for 20 minutes; the rest of the time we will travel comfortably by metro and in the cable car cabins, admiring everything from above.

Recommendations:

  • Public transport card: Loaded with 29 Mexican pesos per person. (If you don't have a card, you can give the money to your guide before starting)
  • Cash: To pay for public transport and buy some typical snacks.
  • Clothing: Discreet clothing is recommended.


Remember, space is limited due to the size of the cabins. If you cannot attend, cancel in advance so someone else can enjoy this unique experience.

Come and discover Iztapalapa from a different perspective. We look forward to a journey full of culture, history, and spectacular views!
