Iztacalco was an idyllic village until recently, when Mexico City so voraciously absorbed it. What was a small village since pre-Hispanic times was connected to Xochimilco and the city of canals but, despite now being in the industrial belt of the city, its inhabitants have kept their traditions intact.

Do not miss the colorful procession of Corpus Christi in June, the main festival of the town, and the Santo Jubileo in August. For a few hours you've left the city and you've entered a deeply religious place. The bells toll. The missiles rumble. During the Santo Jubileo Iztacalco residents decorate their temples with elaborate floral covers, seeds, sweets, fruit and all kinds of ornaments, as offerings. A dip into the most alive and traditional popular religious beliefs.
