Embark on a journey to ‘La Merced’, the second biggest market in Mexico. As a long-time local resident with over 15 years of experience living in the market, it truly feels like home. With a family background rooted in market tenancy, I am well-versed with the unique spots and remarkable experiences the market has to offer. We deviate from the usual touristic paths, daring to explore exceptional experiences. You actively participate in guiding the tour, choosing your preferred activities and samples as if you were on familiar ground. Experience the vibrant atmosphere through live music, savor the everyday meals of the locals, taste local produce, pre-Hispanic ingredients, natural fruit juices, traditional candies and so much more. The goal is to provide a glimpse of a typical day and a genuine understanding of Mexican culture.
