Itinerary

Coyoacan

1 h 10 min

After being picked up at your hotel in Mexico City, you will head first to Coyoacán, which name in Náhuatl means “place of coyotes“.

Here, your guide will give you a brief explanation on the origins and importance of this quarter and the surroundings, and you’ll have time to walk around its streets and if you want to, have a light breakfast (at your expense). The Spanish used the area as their headquarters during the conquest of the Aztec Empire and made it the first capital of New Spain between 1521 and 1523. The village remained completely independent of Mexico City through the colonial period into the 19th century.

The borough of Coyoacan, along with its bohemian ambience and diversity of activities to do and places to visit, make its historic center a highly popular place to visit.
Museo Frida Kahlo

one hour Admission included

For those who select the Blue House option: visit the iconic Frida Kahlo Museum (Blue House), where the artist was born, lived, and created many of her most meaningful works. Explore rooms preserved as they were in the 1950s, view personal belongings, artwork, photographs, and artifacts shared with Diego Rivera, and learn about Frida’s life, legacy, and deep connection to her Coyoacán home. Stroll through the enclosed garden, admire its symbolic design, and watch a short film that offers insight into Frida’s artistic vision.
Museo Casa Kahlo

one hour Admission included

For those who select the Red House option: step inside the newly opened Casa Kahlo (Red House) for an intimate look into the life and legacy of one of Mexico’s most celebrated artists. As you walk through the museum’s thoughtfully curated rooms, you’ll discover personal belongings, photographs, letters, and artifacts that reveal the emotional, cultural, and political world that shaped Frida’s art and identity.
Ciudad Universitaria

30 min

The last stop is Ciudad Universitaria where your guide will explain to you about the murals of Rectoría and the Central Library belonging to the main campus of National University. Your tour ends with your hotel drop-off.
Floating Gardens of Xochimilco

1 h 20 min Admission included

After getting acquainted with Frida's life, the tour continues towards one her favorite places: Xochimilco, or the place of flowers.

Here, not only will you get information on its origins, going back to the pre-hispanic times, but you will also you enjoy a ride on a trajinera, a traditional boat of the area.

After the ride, you’ll have spare time to walk around the crafts market or try the delicious food sold on the surrounding area.
