This Walking tour goes from the meeting point towards, Templo Mayor, then to Zócalo, following with Palacio de Bellas Artes, finishing at Parque Alameda Central.
My wishes for this tour is for you to have a clear understanding about Mexico's history and while walking around the streets towards the past; talk about queers and the LGBTQ+ community have been part of Mexican History.
Some historical Queer people have participated in the building of the Mexican Culture. Artists like Juan Gabriel, Frida Kahlo, Chavela Vargas, and important people for Mexico's independence and revolution.
For this tour, I recommend having a small lunch, we will have some tacos de canasta mid-experience, further recommendations are wearing comfortable shoes for walking, use sunscreen, bring water, and an umbrella.
