Life and work of Frida Kahlo, street art and graffiti and colorful markets are waiting for you in this bohemian neighborhood that is one of the preferred places by locals.

WHY COYOACÁN?

The bohemian neighborhood of Coyoacán it’s one of the preferred places by the locals of Mexico City, it is well known for its cobblestoned streets and its colonial Spanish style architecture. Intellectuals, travelers, artists and locals converge in this peaceful spot (far from the noisy and bustling life of this megacity) to visit both the Museum of Fida Kahlo, the house of Leon Trotsky as well as art galleries, to learn about the study of chakras and also to see the beautiful and colorful traditional markets. There are lovely cafés outdoors found all next to the public square and the surrounding streets, all within a lovely green and full of trees environment.

    I just returned from the Everest Base Camp trek, and WOW! It was absolutely breathtaking. The stunning Himalayan vistas, warm Sherpa hospitality, and the sense of accomplishment made it an unforgettable journey. Highly recommended!

Educational and fun!

Had a great walking tour with Paco yesterday. He was informative and led us down streets that were off the regular path. Highly recommended.

What a great tour

Really fun, informative and interactive CDMX tour. our guide Paco was super friendly and knowledgeable. I don't know this tour is free, it was 1,000 better than the paid one we took the day before. Highly recommended!

Very comprehensive, fun and informative tour

I've been traveling around the world for about a year now and have been on maybe 30 or more walking tours, and this one was one of my favorites, if not most favorite!!!

In my opinion a walking tour should do a few things: Give some background information about the history and culture of the city and country; Teach me fun facts about the place; give me some tips about where to go and not go--and above all be fun and engaging.
This walking tour was that and so much more!
