+7 photos
Enjoy a colourful guided tour. Explore the famous quarter of Coyoacán, and admire the majestic architecture of the National University of Mexico (UNAM). Then, discover the tranquil canals of Xochimilco.The first stop is Coyoacan, which in Nahuatl means "place of those with coyotes”. Next, you'll continue down South, to a favourite borough of Frida Kahlo, Xochimilco. The history of this place begins many years ago in ancient Mexico. It comes from prehispanic times, as it was in this area where the first community centres in the highlands of Mesoamerica developed. For over 2.500 years this place has been changing and evolving, either due to natural causes such as volcanic eruptions or because of human intervention, as the urban area's expansion.
