What you'll do
Would you like to fly over to the largest municipality in MX-City?
Most visitors stay at the same tourist sites, but rarely get to experience life as a local…
So, we have designed a journey to IZTAPALAPA, an area that reflects the daily lives of millions of Mexicans, that otherwise, you would never hear about.
This urban district is full of culture, street food, traditions, and history that comes as far from the Aztecs!
Today it’s a vibrant area that’s re-building its identity through art, leaving behind the stigma of being just a low-income place.
What will we do?
A. The adventure starts Downtown, where we’ll take the subway towards the suburbs, while we talk about the challenge of transportation in the largest city in North America!
B. Then we’ll visit a local museum to learn about the history of Iztapalapa and its current role in holding the largest open community theater in the world.
C. After that, the crown jewels are coming: We’ll fly like birds THE LARGEST CABLE CAR OF THE WORLD for a stunning and colorful view of the Street art and the immensity of the valley.
D. In between, we’ll visit a local market for the best taco of your life, and an amazing airplane converted into a cultural venue.
E. Finally, we’ll come back home by metro, finishing our journey at a local bar Downtown, to toast with a pre-hispanic drink: the beverage of gods.
This experience is truly unique.
Mexico is our pride and we can't wait to share little-known gems with you. You will be delighted!
Drink &snacks
Two different food samples will be included in the local market and a traditional/prehispanic alcoholic drink
