Overview

This exclusive cultural experience offers a true immersion in the city's captivating duality, from the serene elegance of Luis Barragán's architectural masterpieces to the vibrant energy of Santa Tere's street food scene.

Indulge in the flavors of one of the city’s most traditional barrios: Santa Tere, before admiring the regionalist architecture of Luis Barragan, Mexico's most influential architect and winner of the Pritzker Prize. We'll be able to visit the interior of at least two of his homes, while discovering his legacy through the Tapatío School of Architecture.

Your guide will provide unique insights into both the city’s modern and traditional facets. By the end of your 5-hour cultural experience, you will have gained a deeper appreciation for Mexico’s rich architectural heritage and Jalisco’s deeply rooted culinary traditions. This fully private walking tour is reserved just for you and your travel companions, ensuring a personalized experience at your own pace.
