Points forts

If you’re interested in discovering the artistic essence of Mexico, step with me into a guided journey where architecture, history, and social transformation intertwine. I’m Edgar, certified local guide and I invite you to explore Mexico’s own Gilded Age: the Porfiriato. Together, we’ll walk through opulent mansions, grand palaces, and emblematic landmarks that still preserve the elegance, European eclecticism, and ambition of a dictator. We’ll revisit the final years of a 19th-century regime built on progress and inequality, and trace how those tensions gave rise to a new artistic and architectural identity and helped ignite one of the most influential artistic movements of the 20th century: Mexican Muralism. This is more than a historical walk — it is a journey to understand the aesthetic transformation of Mexico in the 20th century: from dictatorship to cultural renaissance.

About Mexico

Mexico est une vaste capitale d'altitude bâtie sur la cité aztèque de Tenochtitlan, riche en musées, fresques, marchés et cuisine remarquable.

Le Zócalo, l'une des plus grandes places du monde, est encadré par la cathédrale métropolitaine et le Palais national, où les fresques de Diego Rivera racontent l'histoire du Mexique. À côté, le Templo Mayor mis au jour révèle le cœur de la capitale aztèque, et le Palais des beaux-arts, à l'extérieur de marbre et à l'intérieur Art déco, se dresse à courte distance à l'ouest.

Top-ranked sights in Mexico: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
