Gay Heritage Walking Tour in Mexico City

Select a 9am or a 3pm start time when you book, then meet your professional art historian guide in the lobby of the Zocalo Central Hotel to begin this alternative walking tour of Mexico City. Set off to discover the Mexican capital city's homosexual heritage over the course of the next five hours. First, visit an ancient Aztec site and learn about pre-Hispanic attitudes toward the human body; then see a public square where "sodomites" had to face inquisition in centuries ago.

Wander past lovely colonial mansions, and hear stories from your guide about the elegant men and women who lived there. As you explore the city, learn about the ways men and women had to keep their same-sex relationships secret throughout different eras. Pass shops with colorful displays, handicrafts, and curious corners in the downtown art center, and stop for a picture of La Profesa Church. 

Finally, admire the architecture of the Casa de los Azulejos ("House of Tiles"), and hear about the famous artists and writers who shaped Mexican culture. Say farewell to your guide back at the Zocalo Central Hotel, after getting plenty of insider's tips on places to see and things to do during the rest of your time in Mexico City.
