We will then visit Coyocan, place of the coyotes. This ancient Aztec ceremonial site was a small town, outside of Mexico City. It retains it's own identity, with narrow colonial-style streets, plazas, and a lively atmosphere. It is a very special place, chosen by Cortes after the fall of the great Tenochtitlan. We may even have time to visit the Frida Kahlo "blue house museum." |
