  • The ultimate travel guide to MEXICO CITY! In Part 2 of this series we show you around the massive Chapultepec Park, take a boat ride down the canals of Xochimilco and visit the bohemian district of Coyoacan!
    We visit the iconic Chapultepec Castle for some amazing views of the city, find the oddest Metro station in Mexico City, the coolest library and see a creature you can only find in the canals at Xochimilco!
    Mexico City is a huge, huge place and to explore it all in one video seemed like too much so we have broken it down into a couple of videos to really give you the best and most in depth guide we can to this amazing city!

    To get a cheaper boat to the Isla de las Muñecas it's better to rent the trajinera at Nuevo Nativitas (port) which is closer to the island. I see you rented the boat at Parque Ecológico Port which is kinda far from it. Also, at Nuevo Nativitas is where all the floating parties are... lots of music, food, and alcohol.

    • @KittiandJon

      Awesome thanks for the advice Raoul! 😊🙏 we saw various different locations on Google Maps where you could rent boats from but didn't realise they would have differing prices! A really good tip thanks 👍

    I love your video, I really think you chose the best embarcadero in Xochimilco, I don't like too many people, I preffer peace and nature, why you didn't eat at the trajinera? There were not pepple selling food and drinks?

    • @KittiandJon
      @KittiandJon  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you Ivan! We really appreciate it :) we are the same and even though it was more expensive we are glad we had the boat all to ourselves! It was so peaceful :) we arrived early in the morning and by the time we had finished our boat ride it was still only about 10am so we weren't hungry just yet! But you are right there are plenty of food vendors at the docks selling delicious food :)

    • @KittiandJon
      @KittiandJon  Рік тому

      The Palace of Iturbide (also in Mexico City)👍 along with Chapultepec Castle they were the only two royal 'palaces' in North America to be inhabited by monarchs. In the video I said 'palaces' not 'castles' 😊

    I am very intetested on how all travel blogs only talk about the same common spots and street food...the new margaritas it seem. Mexicans also eat at fondas and iconic restaurants like Sanborns, Vips, Toks, etc. And theres a lot more to see in mexico city appart fron la condesa or roma. You did something different, thank you.

    • @KittiandJon
      @KittiandJon  2 роки тому

      Thank you :) we always like to get away from the major tourist centers when we can and experience something a little more off the beaten path! Of course the tourist spots are touristy for a reason (our next video will be about Teotihuacan) and we don't want to always skip them completely but we always find we enjoy the lesser known and more local places a lot more than where all the tourists flock to! :)

    You are very misinformed, search and learn; Mexico City currently has 31 million people. ´nd 130 millon in country. check your sources

    • @KittiandJon
      @KittiandJon  2 роки тому +2

      We did check our sources. Any search will show you that the metropolitan area of Mexico City has a population around 22 million as of 2022. I don't know where you got 31 million from but if you share your source we will happily check it out. As for the population of Mexico you are correct it is around 130 million but we never mentioned that in our video.
