The owners of these “casonas” have formed an association called “The ladies of San Angel” and are devoted to philanthropic activities. One of these ladies will host us for a home-made lunch in her house. A large percentage of the price of this tour will go to charitable purposes. Cost per person: $ 98.00 USD Approximate length: 7 hours Pick-up from hotel: around 8.30 am
Xochimilco & San Angel Xochimilco, a World Heritage Site, is a unique place in the world. While you are floating along the water channels in a traditional “trajinera”, you will see the ancient system of “chinampas” surrounded by a wide array of flowers, a marvelous musical ambiance, parties and colors. On Saturdays, in the San Angel borough, a travelling arts and crafts bazaar sets up. This will give us a great opportunity to shop for unique Mexican items.

MEXICO CITY
BANKING / CURRENCY
Mexico City is privileged since it offers what very few other cities can: a centralised location – which means that everything from culture, nature, tourism, education, entertainment, healthcare, religious centres and night life surround the city.
The Mexican currency is the Peso ($ or MXP). It is issued in bills of $20, $50, $100, $200, $500 and $1,000 pesos, and in coins of ¢10, ¢20, ¢50 (cents) and in $1, $2, $5, $10 and $20 pesos.
Located in the nation’s centre (99º 09’ W longitude, 19º 24’’ N latitude, GMT -6), the city is surrounded by mountains that rise from the remains of seven ancient lakebeds and has an average elevation of 2300 m above the sea level. It borders to the north, east and west with Estado de Mexico and with the state of Morelos to the south. By
The most commonly used credit cards are Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) are available 24 hours a day and can be found in shopping areas and at banks. Foreign currency can be changed at the Airport, banks, hotels and some other places. Banking hours are: Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4 pm.
TRANSPORTATION SERVICE
Taxi
The Mexico City International Airport (MCIA) is the largest airport in the country. Many airlines operate international routes to and from MCIA, including Aeroméxico, Mexicana, Air France, Air Canada, American Airlines, Lloyd Bolivian Airlines, LAN Chile, Varig, Avianca, United Airlines, Delta Airlines, Continental Airlines, amongst others.
An official or approved taxi is a unit that must be painted with the current official colors: white, cherry and golden, with the logos of the Independence Angel and with the new Car Tags that distinguish it as individual public transportations of passengers.
Transportation from the Airport to the Hotel
We suggest to all participants to use only the certified taxis that are posted inside the airport facilities: Sitio 300, Sitio Excelencia, Sitio Porto Taxi and Sitio Nueva Imagen. The distance of the Airport to Downtown is about 15 km. The airport taxi will cost approximately $130.00 pesos (12.00 USD$).
City Transportation There are almost infinite options for getting around in Mexico City. While its public transportation system can be complicated, some of its options offer top– level services, such as the subway system, known as the Metro, which is one of the world’s largest, most efficient and most economical ones. Other options such as Trolleybuses, the Metrobus and the Light Rail (known as the “Tren Ligero”) help reduce air pollution. For those who seek greater comfort there are taxi and auto rental services.
Subway The cost of a Metro ticket is one of the lowest in the world, as the fare has been 2 pesos since 2002. Unlike some other subway systems around the world, a ticket allows passengers to transfer from one line to another and get to numerous destinations without having to buy another. Without a doubt it is the best, quickest and safest way to get around town.
The approved taxi has the License Plates number printed on the roof, the trunk and both doors. The taxi driver license must be visible in the taxi – this is an official card that identifies him by the complete name and a photograph.
Hotel Taxis and Radio Taxis You may also use the services of hotel taxis. The drivers usually speak English and the cost of the rides is preestablished. You can also use some Radio Taxi Companies such as: Taximex: 5538-14-40 or 5519-7690 Servi-Taxi: 5271-2560 Radio Servicios Móviles de Transporte: 5771-4012; 77101-30; 5760-4696 or 5551 -7710 Taxi Radio Mex: 5584-0571 Servitaxis: 5516-6020 Radio Maxi Seguridad: 5768 -8557 or 5768 -8553
Electric Transportation
Metrobus
The City’s Electric Transport System (Sistema de Transporte Eléctrico) is another alternative provided by the municipal government to reduce carbon emissions.
This modern public transportation system offers an alternative for the city’s transit problems since it runs a straight line aside the normal traffic flow.
The system currently encompasses 15 trolleybus and light rail lines; the latter is considered the best way to get to Xochilmilco from the city center.
The fare is $5 MN and is paid using an electronic card purchased for $11.50 MN, which includes the card’s refundable deposit value of $8 MN plus one fare.

The License Plates or Car Tags are white with the most representative monuments of the city, the image of the Independence Angel and the slogan: “Ciudad en Movimiento”. Also, the Car Tags have one letter at the beginning, followed by five numbers (see right image):

Another way to get around Mexico City is the Turibus, a Double Decker bus that offers guided tours through headphones where you can listen to the explanations in English, French, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. The participants of the FDI World Dental Congress will get special discounts to ride the Turibus as well as to attend the National Folkloric Ballet. If you require any tourist information, visit the official web site of the Mexico City’s Secretary of Tourism www. mexicocity.gob.mx or call 01 800 008 90 90. Languages: English, French, Portuguese, German, Italian and Chinese.
EATING OUT In Mexico City you can enjoy a wide variety of traditional Mexican dishes as well as cuisine from around the world. There’s everything here, from the most exclusive restaurants to simple, traditional “fondas”. When looking for traditional Mexican and Spanish food, your best option is the downtown Historic Center, where the colonial atmosphere provides the perfect background for enjoying breakfast or dinner The Condesa neighborhood is home to numerous worldcuisine restaurants (particularly Argentine, Colombian and Italian) as well as to modern “fusion” establishments. And if you’re looking for something a lot more traditional, the markets in Xochimilco and Coyoacán offer Mexican favourites that can’t be beat.
TIPPING Tips are not included in the bill. It is customary to leave around 10 or 15% of the total check.
MEALS AND DISHES It’s quite common for most visitors to try different foods here, so if you are a gastronomic adventurer you’re going to be tempted by Mexico City! Traditional dishes: • Quesadillas Corn tortillas filled with cheese, vegetables, chicken or beef. Cheese and Squash blossom quesadillas, or those made with Huitlacoche (an edible fungus that grows on corn) are not to be missed. • Tacos Tacos come in an enormous variety and you can eat them any time and almost in any place. Tacos de Canasta are small corn tortillas filled with beans, potatoes or meat stocked in a big basket that keeps them warm. There are also the traditional Tacos de Suadero (small tortillas filled with fried beef) and Tacos de Carnitas (typically larger and filled with fried pork). • Tamales Traditional for breakfast or dinner, Tamales are eaten throughout Latin America, but they vary greatly, being corn the main ingredient. Mexico City tamales are made from cornmeal and small amounts of hot peppers, chicken or pork, and wrapped in corn husks. They are often accompanied by Atole, a hot, sweet pre-Hispanic beverage also made with corn or rice.
• Tortas Sandwiches made with white rolls and stuffed with cheese, eggs, beef or chicken, etc… In fact, the possible combinations are really only limited by the imagination. • Pan Dulce (Sweet Pastries) Going into a Mexico City traditional bakery is a total experience and a tempting one at that; there are seemingly innumerable options: shell-shaped “Conchas”, elephantine “Orejas”, “Cuernitos” (croissants), “Churros” (fried-dough bars sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon) and many kinds of pastry slices with cream filling, are just a few of the elaborate creations that have been around since the Colonial times.
ELECTRICITY Mexico voltage is 120 V; 60 Hz. Any electrical equipment you carry with you that operates at the higher (240v) rate will need to be dual-voltage (e.g. hair driers). A lot of electrical equipment (like video cameras, digital cameras, laptops) that operate on 12 volts via a product-specific adaptor will happily cope with dual voltage. Check the adaptor and the device instructions to be sure. When shopping for electrical appliances, do remember to check the voltage of the item against the acceptable voltage in your home country.
SAFETY DRINKING WATER In Mexico, tap water is potable, but generally not recommended for drinking. Hotels usually give guests one (large) bottle of drinking water per room per night. Bottled water is also readily available in supermarkets and at tourist attractions. Tap water in Mexico City, however, is safe to drink as well as in Monterrey, and several other major urban centres.
HEALTH AND MEDICARE Medicine in urban areas is highly developed, public hospitals are just as good as public hospitals in USA and just as the American public hospitals, they are always full. It’s recommended going to private hospitals for faster service. In remote areas, consider carrying a first aid kit, aspirin, and other related items are sold without medical prescription.
WEATHER Mild during winter and warm and dry during April and May. The rain season starts in May and ends around October. Mornings and evenings, especially in winter, can be cold.
TIME The time of day in Mexico City corresponds to GMT-6 and daylight saving time is observed in summer. Most shopping centres and other businesses are open from 9 am to 8 pm, Monday to Sunday. Most museums and points of interest are open from 9 am to 5 pm, Tuesday to Sunday, the latter often offering free admission. Most public transportation systems operate from 5 am to midnight.

Just like in any other great city in the world, remember to: - Watch your belongings and don’t make a great show of them. - If you want to take a walk or exercise, ask your hotel personnel to direct you to the most appropriate routes. - Walk on busy, well-lit streets at night. - If you’re bringing your own car with you, don’t forget to check on the “Hoy No Circula” program regulations. - On the streets, don’t accept or pay for unrequested services. - Report incidents to any preventive police officer, regardless of his or her division.
