Let's explore Mexico City,  the vegan way! With its colorful neighborhoods, ancient history, and mouthwatering cuisine, it’s no wonder Mexico City has been ranked among the top 10 most vegan-friendly cities in the world. 

Dee from @consciouscuban will be hosting this trip (along with a local tour guide)! She has been part of the Cheap Lazy Vegan team since 2023 and co-hosted the first Mexico City trip with Rose. 

This 6-day adventure offers a perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and unforgettable experiences. Discover the fascinating legacy of ancient Mexican civilizations, enjoy an interactive vegan Mexican cooking class, ride a traditional trajinera boat in Xochimilco, and savor some of the best plant-based dishes the city has to offer.

Every moment of this trip is curated to inspire, delight, and connect you with the heart of Mexico.
