A private 4-5 hour walk pairing the regionalist architecture of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Luis Barragán with the traditional street food scene of the Santa Tere neighborhood. This fully private walking tour is reserved just for you and your travel companions.

Luis Barragán was born in Guadalajara on 9 March 1902 and became the second winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, in 1980. Most visitors meet his work in Mexico City, where his own house and studio were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004, but this tour is about the architect's roots in the city he came from.
His late career produced the Casa Gilardi in Mexico City (1976), built when he was around 80, which shows how his saturated colour and light stayed consistent into old age. Understanding that signature makes his earlier regional work in Guadalajara easier to read.
Santa Tere supplies the second half of the story: a residential neighbourhood where everyday street food sits within walking distance of the architectural interest. The pairing lets you taste the city while you look at how a regional modernist school developed.
