What to expect

  1. Alameda Central
    20m
    This adventure starts in Downtown Mexico City, right outside the Palacio de Bellas Artes. From there, we’ll hop on the Metro and head toward 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).
  2. 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 transportation—it’s the system that keeps this megacity running.
  3. 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 colorful street art and the scale of CDMX from the sky.
  4. 30m
    We’ll make a market stop to try a classic taco spot locals swear by—simple, authentic, and delicious.
  5. 30m
    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.
