About the visit: In search of an ancient city

A century after the conquest, in 1629, Mexico City suffered an unspeakable calamity. After 36 hours of uninterrupted rainfall, the capital of New Spain was buried beneath the waters of the Lake of Texcoco, remaining for 4 years. The flood of 1629 was considered one of the Biblical calamities or plagues, which caused the ruin of its inhabitants and the destruction of temples, palaces and village houses.

In this peculiar tour, we invite you to walk through the old Calle de Plateros and other corners to know some of the few testimonies that our city preserves of the first two centuries of the Viceroyalty.
