Mexico City deep tour through La Merced and iconic markets
Overview
Leave your comfort zone and experience a raw and authentic face of the city in the most historical side of town, La Merced. Together we will explore Mexico's oldest market (Mercado Merced) and get surprised by our exotic fruits, juices, moles, pre-hispanic snacks and more traditional wonders. You will dive through the mind-blowing sorcery and art market and discover architecture, street art, hidden monuments and more gems off the beaten path. We will have the chance to meet the most popular beliefs through Santa Muerte street altars and understand how locals practice their faith.
This will all include an opportunity to try some of the best street tacos in town, followed by one of the oldest cantinas and pulquerias and finish the journey in one of downtown nicest bars with a cocktail or coffee.
