Description
Tepito shouldn't be visited alone — you should go with someone who knows it from the inside. This walking tour is led by a native of the neighborhood who opens doors that no conventional sightseeing tour goes through: the oldest tenement block in the area, the local art gallery, the church where Cuauhtémoc was imprisoned, and much more...
You'll start at Las Letras de Tepito, where the team will welcome you and tell you how Mexico's most famous, mysterious, and controversial neighborhood came into being. From there, you'll walk from stop to stop, chatting with real locals and discovering the history behind every corner: the area's first church, the Maracaná Sports Center, the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, the old washhouses, and some altars that only locals know about.
The tour includes a meal at an iconic food stall — Las Migas, Tacos de la Suerte, liver and tripe tacos, or the legendary Queso-Carnes — and a complimentary drink. At the end, the team will accompany you back to the starting point or to a safe transportation location.
