Heritage Bike Tour CDMX evolution since Tenochtitlan

Summary

According to your departure time of choice, greet your guide at the Downtown Poráy location, choose your bicycle from the showroom and let the team helps you to feel comfortable in the saddle; step outside the shop and you're right away in the bike lane to start the journey right at the Central Alameda, the 1st urban park of America.  Zócalo, not the typical center plaza will overwhelm you with its scale and surrounding buildings, the pillars of the eastern civilization, policy, economy and religion, especially the Metropolitan cathedral with its multiple architectural styles given its construction took 3 centuries to be completed. Let´s ride beyond the postcard photos where the commerce Burroughs have given the identity to the streets, Mexico city´s iconic buildings like Bellas Artes, Palacio Postal and the MUNAL will make you wonder which Architectural Style they belong to, their beautiful facades are rich in detailed ornamentation, and the Art collections hosted inside their walls contribute to the vast cultural heritage of our city which after London is the city, hosts a great number and variety of museums. Pay attention to the safety advice of your local guide whose thousand kilometers cycled will give you the confidence to ride within a small group, feel free to ask any question, our guides are local experts and gladly will share their anecdotes and urban legends with you.
