Hello:
I have to travel to Mexico city, this week, for 3 months, so I'm looking for acommodation. I'd like to stay first in a hotel located in COLONIA SANTA FE, do you know this place?
Can you please recommend me some hotels over there?? is it in the downtown?
Thanks.....................
Jorge
Jorge,
Everything is relative in Mexico City.
Santa Fe is the most expensive area within Mexico City as it is the corporate area. If traveling on business and being paid by your company it would be great to stay there, on your own it would be quite expensive.
Distance to downtown. If there were no cars at all it would take you 15 minutes driving to the city center and all it's attractions. With normal traffic it will take you 30 minutes, and up to an hour in the rush hour. Just go down by Reforma Ave. and you'll be in the heart of Mexico City.
This would probably be your cheapest option

Tought little known the Pulque is a mexican drink with history and legends and it´s consumed since prehispanic times.
According to the aztec legend the goddes Mayahuel was in love with Quetzalcoatl, her grandmother didn´t allow her to marry him so they ran away together.
The furious grandmother released a monsters called TziTzime, they hunted the couple and killed Mayahuel.
Quetzalcoatl buried the remains of her body and after some time the first magueyes grew from this spots.
After some time Quetzalcoatl teached the human kind how to prepare pulque from the maguey juice
The pulque became so important between the aztecs that only governors and pregnant women (the high protein content made childrens born very healthy) were allowed to drink it appart from Mayahuel celebration days.
The pulque maintained it´s importance during the spanish domination and the first years of independence, according to records there were over 3000 pulquerias (the place were pulque is selled) by 1900, but beer producers launched a discredit campaign in order to have more consumers and unfortunately they were succsesfull, today pulque has almost dissapeared from major cities (currently there are about 150 pulquerias on Mexico City)
Pulquerias were famous by it´s murals and names, you can order "pulque blanco" (natural) or a "curado" (pulque with some flavor like Melon, Mango or Pineapple)
if you run into a pulquería try this traditional drink, and be carefull, it´s strong
It gives you a chance to carry more things when walking around in the city. When carrying the big backpack, attach the small one by a carabiner (with a safety lock so that it will not disconnect) to the shoulder strap of the big one. This way you have easy access to tickets and other important things in the small backpack. The carabiner makes it impossible for thieves to just grab the small backpack and run.
There is a Water Park called "El Rollo" inside Mexico City, but the best one is located 2 hours away from the city (the name is the same). You can get there by bus or by car, it's in the state of Morelos (about a half hour farther than the town of Cuernavaca) and the weather there is marvellous for a day of pic-nic, swimming and having fun! If you enjoy this kind of activity, I highly recommend it!
Lots of fun. More Mariachi pics in a travelogue below. No codes are set for a good old Mexican fiesta. Inside and terrace seating, very informal and you can sing and whistle and clap along with everyone else.
