Coyoacan Free Walking Tour: Frida Kahlo

Coyoacán has a pre-Hispanic origin prior to the Aztec civilization. A space whose soil is volcanic due to the explosion of a volcano, the place witnessed the conquest and seat of the first government of New Spain. The cobbled streets and the architecture of the houses are reminiscent of the colonial era and the atmosphere of the time when Frida and Diego lived in that area. Walking through the neighborhood we will talk about the conquest of Tenochtitlán, the capital of the Aztec empire and how through evangelization and cultural conquest a new culture was born. We will talk about Octavio Paz, a Nobel Prize for Literature who describes the character of Mexicans while we visit his house and listen to the sounds of Mexico. The Free Tour Coyacán is the best way to get to know the neighborhood before or after visiting the Frida Kahlo or León Trotski museum. It is also a good alternative to buy handicrafts or try delicious ice cream.
