Coyoacan, Xochimilco and San Angel neighborhoods: Highlights in the South of the City.

The south of Mexico City is full of surprises. If you have already visited the Historical Center, the South of Mexico City is waiting for you to see the beautiful and colorful houses that the Spanish conquistadors built after the Aztec Empire was defeated. Cortés chose to settle in the south of Tenochtitlan (Coyoacan's neighborhood today). You will walk on the same streets where the first Spanish in Mexico lived almost 500 years ago! Coyoacan is a bohemian neighborhood where the famous Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera lived. It is also known for its Franciscan ex-monastery, markets, handicrafts, coffee shops, and its delicious churros. The National University and Xochimilco are both World Heritage places that no one should miss. In Xochimilco, you'll leave the traffic behind on a colorful boat and see the chinampas (floating gardens) with flowers. San Angel is a fancy area where the wealthy built their vacation homes. It is a great place to get nice handicrafts and try amazing Mexican food!
