1
Begin where the heart of Coyoacán still beats. The coyotes in the fountain once guarded the edges of a city surrounded by water. Here, under the trees and the church bells, introduce the idea of Coyoacán as a place built on layers — indigenous, colonial, and bohemian — all coexisting like restless ghosts.

2
Standing opposite the church, this house (more myth than fact) is said to have been Cortés’ residence. Its walls have absorbed centuries of rumor — betrayal, love, and empire. A perfect stop to reflect on how conquest still breathes through architecture and story.

3
A quiet square at the edge of the old town — said to stand on a pre-Hispanic temple. This small chapel vibrates with the idea of syncretism, where pagan and Christian symbols blur into one. A perfect spot for a soft, reflective monologue on the persistence of belief.
20 minutes • Admission ticket free -
4
Plaza Hidalgo & the Market (exterior) End among the cafés, noise, and smells of daily life. This is where the living reclaim the night — eating, laughing, gossiping.
20 minutes • Admission ticket free -
5
The narrowest, quietest street in the neighborhood — and one of Mexico City’s most haunted. Local legend says a ghostly child appears beneath the trees, or that shadows follow anyone who mocks the dead. Where the walls talk about guilt, imagination, and how communities invent fear to explain sorrow.
15 minutes • Admission ticket free -
6Museo Frida Kahlo
(Exterior) Frida’s house is more than a museum — it’s a symbol of art born from pain, and a reminder that ghosts don’t always come from the distant past. The house of a legend and national myth.
