Activity itinerary

Alameda Central

  • 20m
This adventure starts in City centre Mexico City, right outside the Palacio de Bellas Artes. From there, we’ll hop on the Metro and head towards the suburbs—using the same transport locals rely on—while we break down how mobility works in one of the world’s biggest cities (and why it shapes daily life here).

El Metro

  • 45m
Throughout the tour, we’ll move across Mexico City—and into Iztapalapa—using the Mexico City Metro, the backbone of everyday life here. Along the way, you’ll get a real feel for local routines and learn why the Metro isn’t just transport—it’s the system that keeps this megacity running.

Cablebús Linea 2

  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
After that comes the main event: we’ll ride the Mexico City Cable Car and glide above the streets for panoramic valley views—with a front-row seat to the area’s colourful street art and the scale of CDMX from the sky.

Mercado Desarrollo Urbano Quetzalcoatl

  • 30m
We’ll make a market stop to try a classic taco spot locals swear by—simple, authentic, and delicious.

Pulquería "La Hermosa Hortensia"

  • 30m
Finally, we’ll come back home by metro, finishing our journey at a local bar City centre, to toast with a pre-hispanic drink: the drink of gods.
