What does the Xochimilco and Frida Kahlo tour include?

1/3

Frida Kahlo Museum (La Casa Azul)

Located in the heart of Coyoacán, La Casa Azul (The Blue House) is where Frida was born, lived, painted, and died. Inside, you’ll find original artwork, personal letters, medical corsets, and even the bed where she spent years painting through illness and pain. The space is intimate, emotional, and raw, filled with color, symbolism, and fragments of her intense relationship with Diego Rivera.

Coyoacán

Coyoacán is a historic, tree-lined district known for its colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and deeply bohemian spirit. It’s where Frida and Diego threw wild intellectual parties, and today it still hums with creativity. You’ll get time to wander the artisan market, grab a street quesadilla or elote, sip coffee in sunlit plazas, and explore landmarks like San Juan Bautista Church and the Casa de Cultura Jesús Reyes Heroles.

Xochimilco

Time to trade quiet plazas for party boats. Xochimilco is home to the last remnants of the ancient Aztec canal system, now transformed into a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Board a brightly painted trajinera, float past floating gardens, and soak up the sights and sounds of canal life. Think live mariachi music, passing vendors selling tacos and micheladas, and other boats loaded with locals celebrating birthdays, graduations, or just the weekend.
