Tradition of Holy Thursday "Visit of the Seven Houses / Churches

Guided Walking Tour of Iztacalco & Its Neighborhoods – Traditional “Visit of the Seven Houses”

Discover the rich cultural heritage of Iztacalco, one of Mexico City’s oldest boroughs, on this immersive guided walking tour through its historic neighborhoods. Centered around the traditional “Visit of the Seven Houses” (Visita de las Siete Casas), this unique experience takes you deep into a living tradition that blends history, faith, and community.

As you walk through the original pueblos (villages) that make up Iztacalco, your local guide will share the stories behind each of the seven sacred houses, which are home to religious altars and reflect centuries of spiritual devotion. This tradition, typically observed during Holy Week, invites visitors to reflect, connect, and explore the roots of a practice that dates back to colonial times.

Along the way, you'll see cobblestone streets, colorful murals, historic churches, and community spaces that highlight the neighborhood’s indigenous and colonial past. You’ll also get a taste of local life, with opportunities to interact with residents and enjoy traditional snacks or drinks offered along the route.

Whether you're interested in religion, history, or community culture, this tour offers an authentic experience that few visitors to Mexico City get to witness.
