♡ Save
Join this exciting tour in the longest cable car in the world, where you can appreciate the impressive architecture of the houses, the layout of the streets and the majesty of the volcanoes, a beautiful view from the heights that you will surely love
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.
