Hey everyone, I am planning a one-week trip to Mexico City, and I am looking for advice and opinions.

Here is my itinerary thus far:

Day 1: Arrival and Zocalo

  • Arrive in Mexico City (very early morning) and check into my hotel
  • Head to the Historic Center of Mexico City, visit the Zocalo, the Cathedral, and the Templo Mayor
  • Explore the streets and alleys of the Centro Historico

Day 2: Teotihuacan Pyramids and Museum

  • Take a day trip to the Teotihuacan Pyramids
  • Visit the Teotihuacan Museum

Day 3: Anthropology Museum and Chapultepec Park

  • Visit the National Museum of Anthropology
  • Spend the afternoon in Chapultepec Park
  • Visit the Chapultepec Castle

Day 4: Coyoacan and Frida Kahlo Museum

  • Visit the Frida Kahlo Museum in Coyoacan and surrounding neighborhoods
  • Visit the Leon Trotsky Museum

Day 5: Puebla and Cholula Day Trip

  • Take a day trip to Puebla
  • Visit the town of Cholula to see the Great Pyramid of Cholula, and the church on top

Day 6: Lucha Libre and Street Art

  • Food Tour
  • Lucha Libre at Arena Mexico
  • Explore the neighborhoods of Roma and Condesa

Day 7: Xochimilco

  • Boat ride through the canals of Xochimilco

Day 8: Flight Home

  • Depart for the airport and flight back home

I am also very interested in any books on Mexican culture and identity I should read before my trip, and music I should listen to.

So far I have read:

  • Open Veins of Latin America by Eduardo Galeano
  • The Revolt of the Masses by Jose Ortega y Gasset
  • The Labyrinth of Solitude and Other Writings by Octavio Paz
  • Piedra de Sol / Sunstone by Octavio Paz

And I've listened to a bunch of: Belanova, Cafe Tacvba, Mana, Thalia

Any and all feedback is welcome! Thank you in advance!

Edit: Don't know if this is needed for some contextual background, but I'm a Black woman in her early thirties from the Bay Area. Thanks!
