Fly over to the Unexplored Parts of CDMX by Cable Car
Mexico City, Mexico
Most visitors stay at the same tourist sites, but rarely get to experience real life as a local…so, we've designed a journey to Iztapalapa, an area that reflects the daily lives of 2 million people, that otherwise, you would never hear about.
This urban district is the largest in the city, full of culture, street food, traditions, and history that comes as far from the Aztecs.
What will we do?
The adventure starts Downtown, where we’ll take the subway towards the suburbs.
Then we’ll visit a local museum to learn the best facts about Iztapalapa, their traditions, and their history.
Then, the crown jewels: We’ll fly like birds in the largest cable car in the world for a stunning and colorful view of the street art and the immensity of the valley.
In between, we’ll visit a local market and an amazing airplane converted into a cultural venue.
We’ll come back home by metro, finishing with a pre-hispanic drink in a bar.
