Journey Through La Merced
Overview
The colorful, chaotic Merced Market serves thousands of shoppers daily. On this tour, you’ll visit our favorite food stalls, meet some talented market vendors, and learn the market’s history. You’ll finish knowing why La Merced is unlike anywhere else in Mexico.
We’ll wind through the market’s lively banquetón, or prepared food area, tasting tacos, aguas frescas and tamales. After that, we’ll stroll through the gigantic fruits and vegetables building, and learn about—and taste!—prehispanic ingredients, such as grasshoppers and agave worms. After a quick stop to rest, we’ll leave the market and walk back to La Merced neighborhood where we’ll finish up the tour with a refreshing drink and a snack in a beautiful restaurant, a hidden gem you won’t want to miss!
This tour is good for seasoned travelers.
