From City to Beach: Mexico in a Week

A UNESCO World Heritage site where you’ll cruise the network of canals in a colourful trajinera – a traditional flat-bottomed boat painted in bright colours – while Mariachi bands float by playing music, flower sellers paddle up offering bouquets and vendors hawk cold beers and hot quesadillas. You’ll also learn about how the Aztecs grew crops on chinampas (floating gardens).

An unforgettable hot air balloon ride with incredible views from above of the ancient “City of the Gods,” which was once the biggest and most important city in central Mexico – centuries before the Aztecs came along. This incredible place once covered eight square miles and was home to somewhere between 125,000 and 200,000 people.

In Coyoacan, a charming neighbourhood filled with beautiful colonial-style houses, cobblestone streets and leafy plazas, you’ll visit La Casa Azul – the bright blue house where Frida Kahlo was born and lived until she died in 1954. Walking through the rooms and gardens, you can feel her presence through her paintings and personal photos, books and furnishings.
