Mexico City

📌 I was keen to see the capital of Mexico, one of the most populated cities in the world! It has become one of the most trendiest destinations for travel. We arrived early and we were hungry for a tasty lunch! We had been recommended a great taco shop from someone on the tour, it was a delicious Asian fusion spin on tacos.

📌 The districts we were staying in the city were very trendy, quite green and there was a variety of cafes, cool restaurants and shops. The street food was also very abundant on every corner! We spent a bunch of time simply just walking around the districts. On day 2 we went on another food tour to get a taste of some of the markets and of the more local areas. It was a bit of a strange group, everyone was over 65+ from the USA 😅 Despite this we enjoyed some delicious dishes in a local market, and some hidden lanes. The highlight was the Al pastor tacos inspired by arabic migration and the delicious locally made chocolates which were an art in themself.

📌 On our final day we visited Teotihuacan, an ancient city that is quite mysterious as they don't really know what language they spoke, who lived there and why they abandoned. The pyramids are gigantic, not as tall as Giza but definitely as wide. The pyramid of the sun is the third largest pyramid in the world. We ended the day back in the city and explored the centre, the massive cathedral and the old buildings. It was a great finish to Latin America, to witness a large historical centre of the new world.Read more
