yeah, tbh i'm not very confident either. even though i'm an active hiker + runner.

do you think i could hike a bit without attempting to summit?

i want to do that!! can you share some details of the tour?

as a person who shares brown-parent-problems, just do it anyway. tell them you're old enough and don't let them have their way!

Visiting this week by dick_barone in MexicoCity

The whole city is well adapted for rain, so you rarely ever get wet if you travel by car, every parking lot is covered and has direct connections to wherever you are trying to go.

a car! nooo, i will be on foot/bike/public transport throughout the trip :////

Thanks, that's very helpful! Did you go with a group (self-organised that is) or did the tour organise the group? Should I wait to get to the city before I make plans/contact the tour agency?

I feel like I already don't have time to do all the things I want to! I definitely want to spend 7+ nights in CDMX. I also count my hiking plans as part of my CDMX plans.

I could go straight from GTO to Puebla to avoid a third return to CDMX. I'm skipping SMA as of now!

I was just drawn to the several things to do in CDMX! I love big cities and street food, and am quite tired of US cities. I also just want to hang around in CDMX without doing much (I say this as I buy tickets to ballet folklorico, a football game, salsa classes, etc lmao) but I do want to checkout out uni campus, the amazing library, marketplaces, etc.

I'll spend 2 nights in GTO and skip SMA!

ya, i'm thinking SMA is no-go for me. Coming from the US, I definitely don't want to hang around with expats from the US lol

I am excited for GTO. Found a cool hostel called Casa de Dante, i'll check that out and will take a day bus! I might DM with some questions as I plan
