BEFORE WE TAKE OFF
A few smart travel notes.

Mariachi Turibus: Wednesday, December 9, check in at Reforma 222 by 3:30 PM for a 4–6 PM tour. Friday, December 11, Arena México is planned for 8:30 PM. Verify tickets before paying.

Dad's Juan Gabriel night
Palapa Cantina Caribeña, Versalles 113, Juárez. We have the restaurant, but confirm the impersonator's specific Wednesday December 9 show and time at +52 56 4770 6405.
🛶
Boat bathroom plan
Trajineras do not have onboard toilets. Use the Nativitas dock restroom before sailing. Ask the boatman to identify an authorized waterside restroom stop or a quick return to the pier.
🚘
Getting around
Walk the Centro church clusters, then use Uber/UberXL or prearranged private vans for distant areas, the pyramids and Xochimilco. No Metro, regular bus or street taxi.
☕
Sunday is short
December 13 is intentionally breakfast and checkout only. No sightseeing reservations. The family gets one last hotel photo and a simple transfer to the airport.
Take the adventure with you.
