Delve into the cultural and historic legacies of Mexico City on this excursion focusing on its vibrant areas and iconic artists. Travel down the canals of Xochimilco by boat, see centuries-old architecture in the Coyoacán borough, and explore the life and work of Frida Kahlo in her home.

Get picked up from your Mexico City hotel and head to Coyoacán, where you can start your day in palm tree-lined parks, admiring buildings that date back to the 16th century. Learn about the area's past with commentary from your guide and consider grabbing a light breakfast before you continue on to the Frida Kahlo Museum.

Also known as the Blue House, this striking home-turned-museum is where Kahlo was born and where many of her most famous works now reside. Admire her paintings, sculptures, and mementos, tour the gardens and rooms where much of the original furniture remains, and then make your way to the canals of Xochimilco for a ride aboard a traditional trajinera boat.

Cruise these pre-Hispanic waterways while learning about their importance for trade and transport, dock near a craft market for the chance to browse unique souvenirs and tasty food vendors, and then wrap up your day examining the murals inside the libraries of the Ciudad Universitaria.
