Shared Tour to Xochimilco, Coyoacán and UNAM Murals
Join a guided tour to explore Coyoacán, the beautiful Xochimilco floating gardens, and the famous murals of UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico).
Experience Coyoacán and enjoy its sounds, its music, the exclusivity of its corners, the charm of its streets, alleys, and emblematic places, surrounded by colonial houses, cultural centres, restaurants, bookstores, galleries, and craft houses.
Then, visit Xochimilco, declared a Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. This neighbourhood is like a town in southern Mexico City and gives way to its famous canals, the last remnants of an enormous transport system that the Aztecs built. You can take a promenade of 40 minutes in colourful boats similar to the gondolas called trajineras while browsing food vendors, artisans, and mariachis.
Next, you'll make a quick stop at The National Autonomous University of Mexico, the most important university in Latin America, considering its extensive academic and research work. The campus is awe-inspiring and highlights its architecture and its integration into the environment. You'll have a panoramic visit to one of the largest stone natural murals and the great work of Diego Rivera at the Olimpic Stadium.
