Tour description

Mexico City is the 5th largest metropolis in the world. On this tour we will visit the eastern part of the city and one of the most populated neighborhoods: Iztapalapa .

This neighborhood has 1.8 million inhabitants and is surrounded by a chain of extinct volcanoes . It is also an area full of urban art and murals that can be seen from above.

We will do this tour in Cable Car 🚡 (Cablebus), the longest in the world and we will be able to observe the architecture of the houses, the layout of the streets, the volcanoes and mountains ⛰

We will visit a park with an incredible view, in addition to discovering three representative musical rhythms of the area: cumbia , sonidero and urban rock. 🎤

We will also talk about the way Mexicans lived at the beginning of the 20th century and how the eastern zone grew, the public service problems that existed for years and how they were solved, creating a very united community.

If you are interested in knowing a non-tourist area and seeing the way we live, this tour is for you.

It is necessary to bring:

  • Public transport card loaded with 29 Mexican pesos per person
  • Cash to pay for public transport and buy some things


OUTFIT
Inconspicuous clothing is recommended. No sunglasses, hats, shorts, dresses, skirts and sandals

The space is limited due to the booths, so if you cannot attend, we request that you cancel in time so that someone else can take your place.

It was definitely an interesting trip. This is not your touristy México. The landscape and the cable car ride were my favorite parts of the tour. Carolina was great!

It was one of the best trips I've ever done using this platform. The guide spoke slowly and explained everything about the historical context, mixing it with current information about Mexico City. Thanks!

We had an excellent tour with Carolina. She was kind, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and fun. We really enjoyed seeing the art and learning about the neighbourhood. We could not have been happier with this experience. It was everything we wanted and more!!

Me cancelaron el tour dos horas antes de hacerlo. Ademas de la decepción por no poder hacerlo, tuve que reorganizar todo mi día para poder aprovechar mi estancia el la ciudad. Ojala que no les pase lo mismo!
