Join us for a leisurely stroll along one of the cobblestoned streets of Coyoacan – Francisco Sosa Street – in a quaint neighborhood in southern Mexico City. We’ll explore several overlooked sites including the city’s sole Watercolor Museum, the National Sound Archives, a few cultural centers and Santa Catarina Plaza which gives this area its name. We’ll even manage to fit in a little shopping, as we narrate the history of the zone and the many famous people who chose to live on this street, including a Nobel Prize winner, a Mexican president and a British archaeologist!
You’ll get a real feel for the atmosphere so typical of Coyoacan (without focusing on Frida or Diego!), taking in the colonial architecture and actually having the opportunity to go inside what were once several palatial estates.
This walking tour will last about three hours.
