Mexico City, Mexico

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 1 more

Coyoacán is the neighbourhood where Frida Kahlo painted and Leon Trotsky took refuge — the art and the politics are still palpable on every corner.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Mexico City on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Follow riddles to the Fuente de los Coyotes, the arches of the ex convento de San Juan Bautista, and the Casa Azul — colonial history, sacred architecture, and a house that made Frida famous
• Walk through Coyoacán at your own pace, as artists have done for decades
• Suits couples, families, and groups of any size

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German and English.

Frida had a point about Coyoacán. The riddles help you see it.

What to expect

Starting at Cjon. del Río 1531, Santa Catarina, Coyoacán, 04010 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message. The riddles take you through the colonial heart of a neighbourhood that has attracted artists, intellectuals, and exiles for a century.

Your first landmark is the Fuente de los Coyotes, the coyote fountain in the central plaza that gives the neighbourhood its name — a colonial-era square surrounded by portales and filled with mariachis, markets, and the easy sociability of a barrio that knows how good it has it.

From there the app takes you to the arched entrance of the ex convento de San Juan Bautista, the 16th-century convent whose Franciscan architecture frames the plaza and whose interiors mix colonial painting with centuries of neighbourhood devotion.

The route concludes at the Casa Azul, the cobalt-blue house where Frida Kahlo was born and died — now the Frida Kahlo Museum and one of the most moving artist's houses in the world.

Around 2 hours on foot through flat, tree-lined streets. Coyoacán is wonderful to explore slowly.
