From the peaceful greenery of Viveros de Coyoacán Park, you’ll stroll to Santa Caterina square. Munch on tamales, wash them down with atole, a traditional hot drink made from corn and masa, and admire the bright yellow church that sits on the plaza. Have your camera ready to snap the ornate facade of Capilla de la Conchita, another spectacular chapel on another beautiful, tree-filled Coyoacan square!
Mercado de Coyoacan, the beating heart of the district, is the place to shop, rub shoulders with the locals, and, of course, eat. Here your local host will treat you to crunchy tostada topped with refried beans, cheese, and salsa (as well as your choice of meat or fish). A quick stop by Frida Kahlo’s blue house, and you’ll be onto the last foodie hotspot of the tour. In the shade of the contemporary Cineteca Nacional’s white, geometric roof, Nevería Roxy is the place to grab a tub of moreish, artisan ice cream. A deliciously sweet way to end a culture and cuisine filled day in Cayoacan.
