This tour focuses on the most bohemian side of Mexico City and the life of Frida Kahlo and Diego Riviera. Coyoacan is one of the kinds of places which seem immune to the passing of time. Since the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés arrived here back in the 16th century, up until today, it has been home to some of the most interesting characters in Mexican history.
We will explore its plazas and cobble-stoned streets built in Colonial style, and admire the scenery amongst studios dedicated to dance, pottery, photography or art, and gorgeous 16th century churches like the church of St. John The Baptist, a symbol of the beautiful Novohispanic Baroque style. We will enjoy the tastes of Mexico in Coyoacan’s Market, one of its most important icons, try delicious coffee at El Jarocho Cafe.
Then we will get to the most famous house in Mexico, Casa Azul, where Frida spent many years. Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera helped to define Mexican modernism while engaged in a tumultuous romance.
