Description

Explore Mexico City from the heights. Visit Iztapalapa, one of the most populated neighborhoods, surrounded by extinct volcanoes.

We will ride the cable car, the longest in the world, to enjoy panoramic views of the local architecture, streets and mountain scenery. We will appreciate the colorful murals and urban art.

We will discover a park with incredible views and immerse ourselves in the musical rhythms that define the area. We will learn about daily life in the early 20th century, the challenges they faced with public services and how these were overcome to form a united community.

Enjoy the scenery without much effort, as we only walk for 20 minutes; the rest of the time we will travel comfortably by metro and cable car.

Consider:
- Transportation card charged with 29 Mexican pesos per person.
- Cash to buy typical snacks.
- Space is limited due to the size of the cabins. If you are unable to attend, please cancel so that someone else can enjoy this experience.

Come and discover Iztapalapa from a different perspective.

Urban tour

Gabriel was our English speaking guide today. He was professional, well organised, shared interesting and fun stories as well as his knowledge; both historical and current. We enjoyed the light meal in the market and Gabriel gave us some insight into the local cuisine. Travelling on the public transport; Metro and Cable Car was a wonderful experience.

A must-do tour in CDMX

My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Fernanda. We had a little difficulty finding the meeting point due to a road closure but Fernanda patiently waited for us to arrive. The tour includes travel on the amazingly efficient metro AND the world's longest public cable car system. During iur ride along the cable car above Extapalapa we got to view all of the beautiful rooftop murals that line the route. Definitely a must-do tour to see an overlooked part of CDMX!

De Iztapalapa para el mundo

A super tour, ideal for a day when your feet are tired. The journey time by metro and cable car was very entertaining due to the super guide Tomas. He had many interesting facts about the development of the city and its people. Tomas advised us well when eating, was always very accommodating and helpful.

CDMX Cablebus

Our guide Luis was excellent! He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and patient as he helped us all navigate the subway and Cablebus. Luis led us through the neighborhood at the end of the Cablebus and we were treated to some authentic Mexican dishes there. Highly recommended!
