Activities in Mexico City.

Coco's Workshops is where Mexico City comes alive in your hands. Forget looking at culture through a window — here you live it, taste it, paint it and shape it. Our workshops are designed to awaken every sense: the vivid colors of an alebrije coming to life under your brush, the satisfying crunch of papier-mâché as your piñata takes shape, the intoxicating aromas of a traditional Mexican kitchen, the texture of a Lucha Libre mask transforming into your own creation. Every workshop is intimate, joyful and led by passionate local experts who bring the soul of Mexico City into every session. Whether you're five or eighty-five, a first-time visitor or a lifelong chilango, these experiences are made for you. No talent required — just curiosity, enthusiasm and a willingness to get your hands beautifully, colorfully, deliciously dirty.

Craft Workshop

Create Alebrijes

Alebrijes are Mexico's most fantastical art form — mythical creatures bursting with color, hand-painted with intricate patterns. In this workshop you'll create your own alebrije figure using traditional techniques guided by a local expert. Use your imagination to mix different animals, plants and objects into a single creation. You'll learn the symbolism behind the colors and patterns, and leave with a one-of-a-kind piece of Mexican folk art made entirely by your own hands. A truly unique Mexico City experience.
