Overview

Our tour begins in the charming Barrio de Chimalistac, famed for its picturesque cobblestone streets and colonial-style houses. We continue to Parque La Bombilla, a symbol of the Mexican Revolution, where we reflect on the nation’s past and present.

A short stroll brings us to the former Colegio de los Carmelitas, gateway to San Ángel and its art-filled, tradition-rich streets. Finally, we reach Ciudad Universitaria, the intellectual heart of Mexico City. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this campus is renowned for its monumental murals that celebrate the country’s history, ideals, and culture, masterworks painted by Diego Rivera, Juan O’Gorman, and David Alfaro Siqueiros.

Embark on an exciting journey through the best-kept secrets of CDMX!
