Coyote fountain in Jardin Centenario
Coyoacán, named for the coyotes that once roamed around this former village, previously separate from Mexico City, has been home to everyone from Cortés and his Indian mistress La Malinche, to Frida Kahlo, Leon Trotsky, and Nobel Laureate Octavio Paz. Cobblestone and quaint, this area is a favorite with Mexican families for a traditional Sunday stroll and has maintained its bohemian flavor.
