Cykeltur gennem Colonia Del Valle og Coyoacán / Mexico
Beskrivelse
Vi vil besøge parker, kirker, og du vil se flere monumenter, der fortæller historien af sig selv. Maden er simpelthen lækker, og du vil nyde at træde på vores cykler, da de er lette, har hastighedsændringer og ruten er flad og sikker, da vi altid vil forsøge at køre på cykelstier.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Turen begynder i Mariscal Sucre Park, hvor du vil lære historien om et af de ældste kvarterer i Mexico City, La Colonia Del Valle, etableret i 1900, foruden at tage en selfie i den franske kiosk doneret i 1920. I Parish of the Most Pure Heart of Mary kan du beundre et af de første sogne i byen, bygget mellem 1922 og 1938. Som et mærkeligt faktum var denne kirke en del af en film i '96, og hovedskuespilleren var Leonardo DiCaprio. Kan du gætte hvilken? For at komme til centrum af Coyoacán vil vi krydse Colonia Del Valle, her kan du nyde stille gader i et af de smukkeste og roligste bolig- og skoleområder i byen.
Ind i Coyoacán er Viveros Park, indenfor er der en bane for løbere, store grønne områder til at lave yoga eller bare slappe af, samt en smuk frugthave. En lille lunge inde i Mexico City.
Vi vil passere foran det, der var Frida Kahlos hjem gennem hele hendes liv, nu omdannet til et museum. (Af tidsmæssige årsager kan vi ikke komme ind, men du kan tage en "selfie" og lære lidt om Frida og Diego Riveras livsstil.
Du vil muligvis se den første religiøse bygning i Mexico, siden den blev bygget på et Toltec-alter, der dateres tilbage til Great Tenochtitláns fald.
Du vil besøge en af de smukkeste offentlige parker i byen, indviet i 1984. I denne park kan du nyde værkerne af den mexicanske billedhugger Gabriel Ponzanelli, som boede sammen med Frida i sin barndom.
Efter Frida Kahlo Park går vi til centrum af Coyoacán, hvor der venter os mad, du vil nyde nogle lækre quesadillas og en drink. Efter at have spist vil vi besøge den næstmest besøgte offentlige plads i byen efter Plaza del Zócalo. Her vil du lære en del af historien om Tenochtitláns fald og skabelsen af det nye Spanien. Blandt de steder og bygninger, vi vil se, er pladsens centrale kiosk, Hernán Cortés' hus, klostret San Juan Bautista og Coyotes-springvandet.
Som afslutning kan du købe mexicansk kunsthåndværk som souvenirs på Coyoacán-markedet, et af de mest emblematiske i det sydlige område.

lovely tour with our guide Ania. Beautiful neighborhoods and town square. Riding was not difficult although one has to be alert to traffic in some area. Tour group was very accommodating of our needs. Recommend
Excellent bike tour through Coyoacán. The host is an avid cyclist with an in-depth knowledge of the history and culture of Coyoacán. Fun food stop along the way. The bikes are great, light-weight with six gears (although Coyoacán is very flat), great to be able to switch gears as needed. Highly recommend!
We had a great trip with Luis. He grew up in the neighbourhood and shared a lot of interesting information. He was very skilled maneuverimg the traffic and we felt very safe. The quesadillas were great and we learned a lot about the area and Mexican history. This was a highlight of our stay in Mexico City.
Thank you very much for your words Michelle, I am very glad that you liked the tour and your folding bike. Los esperamos en su siguiente visita !!! Gracias !!!
Luis gave an amazing tour. He is a pro so you are in good hands if you are too, but we were two novice Americans who were well taken care of. He knows all the spots and is able to provide the local views and history. On top of growing up in the area, Luis was also apart of CDMX’s bike lane initiative. We ended the tour at his favorite authentic spots for quesadillas, churros, y cafe. It ended up be a private tour with our couple and him - what a great value. He was very careful about our safety and preferences. It is a unique way to see this area of CDMX
Thank you very much for your words Erin!!!
Luis was super prepared and a great guide, ensuring our safety on the road at all times. For the entire route we were either on designated bike lanes or quiet neighborhood streets. Despite the rain we were able to make the best of the afternoon with full rain gear to keep us dry and warm. It was great to learn more about the Coyoacan neighborhood and see the most important sights (and also some spooky ones from old legends 😅). But for me, the absolute highlight was the stop for quesadillas at one of the markets. SO. GOOD. I would definitely book a tour with them again! (The road bike tour to the pyramids is on my bucket list!)
We are very glad that you like it Annamarie, we try to offer you. We will do everything possible to ensure that you have an excellent time on your next route to the pyramids !
