- Saturday 31 July / Sábado 31 de julio

Remember: Long Morning Off on Saturday

Enjoy the city in the early day before you return for another very interesting and stimulating afternoon in the conference!

Our recommendation is to wake up early in the morning and take the subway (ca 25 minutes from the center of the city of Mexico, and a 5 - 10 minutes bus transfer (or walk) from the station) to beautiful colonial Coyoacan. Coyacan (Nahuatl: Coyohuacan) is one of the original native kingdoms in the valley of Mexico with a long and colorful history. Immediately after the conquest Hernán Cortés had his residence here, on the world famous Plaza Hidalgo, and the palace can still be seen, next to the early colonial cathedral and Franciscan convent. Today, Coyoacan is characterized by its well preserved colonial architecture and a its lively bohemian and artistic culture. It is also where you find the former residences and museums of Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky.
