Why Take a Gap Year in Mexico City?
If it’s art or music you seek, Mexico City gap years will certainly include trips to a few of the 150 museums. Gappers can explore and learn about fine art, contemporary art, or specialized collections at the Museo Soumaya with its unique futuristic building design. Many are drawn to the Casa Azul museum, childhood home of Frida Kahlo, which now has a collection of her iconic work. If you’re not so artsy, many gap year programs in Mexico City are ideal for study abroad and language immersion.
Spend time during your gap year in Mexico City to stroll the cobblestone streets of the Zocalo, the city’s historic center plaza. Tread lightly—underneath your feet lies the Aztec city built in 1325, where Spaniards later erected the impressive Metropolitan Cathedral and National Palace. Need to escape the city life? Take a gondola ride on the river canals of Xochimilco. Hungry? Eat delicious tacos el pastor or carnitas. If you’re up for the challenge, take your amigos to the markets and barter for bags of chile covered crickets.
