Travel to the past of Mexico City

Travel to the past of Mexico City

Join me on a walk through 700 years of Mexican history: from an ancient Aztec temple, to colonial era cathedrals, to the beautiful 1930s Palacio de Bellas Artes. Along the way, I will point out details and sites often bypassed but important to help you understand the culture and mind set of modern CDMX. I am more than happy to share my knowledge of both ancient history, to modern day hang outs…and give you as much fascinating trivia as you prefer.

Let me guide you chronologically and physically, from Templo Mayor to Alameda park, with interesting stops in between– as fast or as slow as you want to walk.
