Description

Diego Rivera's hidden water murals, a journalist host, and a boutique group of 7, this is CDMX seen through the element that built and now threatens it: water.

Your host is Sergio Mancilla Cuevas, a producer, journalist and human rights consultant who has been the eyes of foreign correspondents and documentary filmmakers in CDMX. Sergio narrates the city's water crisis from the inside, without sensationalism, connecting the ancient Lake Texcoco to the streets that sink today.

This 4-hour boutique tour begins at Cárcamo de Dolores, a hidden gem of hydraulic architecture inside Bosque de Chapultepec, where Diego Rivera painted extraordinary murals in honor of water.

Enjoy a private guided visit inside and out, then a slow walk through the park weaving together art, history, geography and reflection. Pause for an artisan picnic of traditional Mexican food (vegetarian and vegan options) with drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

The experience closes at the Museum of Natural History and Environmental Culture, completing the arc from art to science.Part of the Bajotierra Collection, journeys for curious travelers who want to understand CDMX beyond the postcard.
