The experience kicks off with a thrilling ride on the cable car (Cablebús), the longest in the world, from where you'll have a privileged view of the architecture, the labyrinthine streets, and the mountains that surround this vibrant community. Along the way, you'll see impressive murals and learn about their history and cultural significance. Besides the incredible view, we'll visit a local park where you can see the volcanoes and the city in the distance. Here, we'll tell you about the history of Iztapalapa, how it's grown and overcome its challenges over time, as well as the most representative musical rhythms of the area, such as cumbia, sonidero, and urban rock. To top off your experience, you'll have the chance to join a tortilla-making activity, where you'll discover the importance of this food in Mexican diet and culture. This tour is perfect for those looking to explore a non-touristy area, understand the daily life of Mexico City, and enjoy its art and culture from a different perspective.
