Discover the magic of Downtown Coyoacan, one of the most picturesque neighborhoods in Mexico City, characterized by its cobblestone streets and colonial bohemian-style architecture.

In the course of 2 hours, your guide will accompany you on a tour of downtown Coyoacan, which will make you feel as if you were outside the city. You will visit churches that were ordered to be built in the viceregal era by Hernán Cortés himself, as well as plazas and beautiful gardens.

As you walk around you will learn interesting facts about each site. You will pass through the Callejón del Aguacate, a narrow street with colonial houses that holds legends and mysterious myths of that place. You will visit La Plaza and La Conchita church, where the first mass in the region was celebrated; the Casa Colorada, home of La Malinche and Hernán Cortés, who settled here after the fall of Tenochtitlán.

Following your tour, you will contemplate the beautiful decoration of the Ex-Convent of San Juan Bautista, as well as the beauty of the architecture of the Plaza and Church of Santa Catarina.

And, of course, you will walk through the Main Square of Coyoacan and the Centennial Garden, where you will find typical desserts of the place, such as the delicious churros and ice cream of different flavors ranging from the traditional to the exotic. You will end up loving Coyoacán.
