Exploring Coyoacan, Mexico City

Check below to see more explained detail. Is this really Mexico from your expectation ? Are you traveling to Mexico City and thinking of where to visit / neighborhood to explore ? The area in Mexico City we visited today is called Coyoacan, which is, in our opinion, the loveliest neighborhood with lots to see, to visit, and to eat!

Let's see what Wikipedia says about Coyoacan ▽▽

Coyoacán is a municipality (alcaldía) of Mexico City and the former village which is now the borough’s “historic center.” The name comes from Nahuatl and most likely means “place of coyotes,” when the Aztecs named a pre-Hispanic village on the southern shore of Lake Texcoco which was dominated by the Tepanec people. Against Aztec domination, these people welcomed Hernán Cortés and the Spanish, who used the area as a headquarters during the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire and made it the first capital of New Spain between 1521 and 1523. The village, later municipality, of Coyoacan remained completely independent of Mexico City through the colonial period into the 19th century. In 1857, the area was incorporated into the Federal District when this district was expanded. In 1928, the borough was created when the Federal District was divided into sixteen boroughs. The urban sprawl of Mexico City reached the borough in the mid 20th century, turning farms, former lakes and forests into developed areas, but many of the former villages have kept their original layouts, plazas and narrow streets and have conserved structures built from the 16th to the early 20th centuries. This has made the borough of Coyoacan, especially its historic center, a popular place to visit on weekends.

show you the world as the way it is - no sugar coated stuff, no hidden truth.
provide you traveling tips as we consider ourselves as 'careful budget traveling couple' :)
let you see our struggle and challenge we have been through while traveling and 'trying' to live digital nomad lifestyle as a mixed couple.
