Market Secrets and Salsa Making Lesson
Savor street food and master salsa-making at a local family business, immersing yourself in authentic Mexican culture!
Your first stop on your tour is a relatively unknown market that boasts a large art collection depicting the political movement from the first half of the 1900s. Your guide will explain the importance of the murals and bridge the gap between the political movement of that period with what's going on in today's Mexico.
To reach the second market, you'll experience the city like a local by riding the public metro. This vibrant market offers an array of flowers, along with fresh fruits, herbs, meats, fish, and more, all sold at the bustling stalls.
You'll sample some classic Mexican street foods, such as tacos and tamales, along with a coffee or atole - a traditional warm drink made from masa. After buying some fresh vegetables, head over to a local family business, where you'll learn how to prepare your own salsa. You'll wash, cut, and grill the ingredients, then smash them the traditional way, using a molcajete. Taste your homemade salsa with a classic huarache!
