Itinerary

Polanco Neighborhood is a truly opulent and luxurious neighborhood. Join us from the comfort of your home and discover this upscale, trendy, and elegant area, founded as a hacienda back in the 18th century. Located north of the enormous Chapultepec Park, today Polanco is known as the city’s financial, business, and commercial center and home to some of the country’s richest families. Take in the area’s impressive architecture, opulent hotels, high-end boutiques, and fancy restaurants while your friendly, expert guide shares the history of how this area grew up. Hint: it started in the 1940s when a thriving middle class eager to flee the crowded center began flocking here.

Come explore elegant Polanco with us!
