Find Your Zen in Mexico City

by Maria Angeles

Mar 16, 2022

I am happy to report I finally ripped off the international travel Band-Aid! Getting into Mexico City was a breeze. Upon arrival, you receive your immigration form, whether from the airline or right at the customs line, and then you’re off to your Mexico adventures.

Mexico City is a place many head to for culinary gems like Pujol and Contramar. It is also a city full of architectural, cultural and artistic beauty. I am a Mexico City native or, as the locals say, a chilanga. I love going to Mexico City for the street food and art. My favorite part about the city is how walkable it is. It is much like New York City — you move much slower than in a car and can only experience the richness of living there by walking.

Mexico City

Give yourself the time to walk the city.

My favorite new discoveries:
1. Audiorama Parque España: After hours of walking, find yourself in a secluded part of the lush Parque España, Audiorama. This is a place where you can break away from the city and relax until sundown. Find yourself a comfortable swinging chair, close your eyes and let the Zen music do the rest. The best part? It’s free to the public!

Find your respite from the city at Audiorama.

2. La Otilia: I found this gem while looking for a place to work. La Otilia offers sugar-free and gluten-free delights. Despite the fatty foods you’ll find in the array of street foods, Mexico City has a strong healthy food game. To top it off, this Instagram-able establishment partners with local businesses for philanthropic fundraisers.Mexico City

Beautiful and tasty sugar-free cappuccino with coconut milk.

3. Street Vendors: No matter the day of the week or time of day, street vendors have your back, whether you’re looking for fruit, a post-dinner coffee or esquites (a Mexican delight). Mexico City

Walk through the city and find some fresh mango, esquites and post-dinner coffee.

Have you been to Mexico City recently? What are your favorites?

Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler

The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
