Meet your guide at a starting point and go to learn about important historical events, personalities, and legends behind the most iconic landmarks of the Coyoacan district in Mexico City. Translated from Nahuatl as “The Place of Coyotes”, this picturesque historic neighborhood of Mexico City was Hernan Cortez’s headquarters after the fall of the Aztec Empire.
