We continue our time in Mexico city and today we’re talking about all the problems we’ve been having in the city. We had to switch hotels because the original one ran out of water. We’ve also been sick, had altitude sickness and stomach problems.
Everyone also asked us if we feel safe in Mexico City so throughout the course of the video we talk about safety and how to stay safe in Mexico City. As we discuss our problems we make our way through the Reforma area, giving a tour of our new hotel. We also make our way to Chapultepec Park. And later head to Monument to the Revolution and to a rooftop bar called Terraza Cha Cha Chá to check out the amazing views.

As someone who loves traveling, the content of this video is truly captivating and interesting to me.
Mexico City is literally running dry…this will be Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles in the next 5-10 years.
No dejen yevar por malas noticias de otras personas que en México es peligroso y no tiene agua son gentes invidiosas
Will be in reforms in a few days.thanks for sharing about the water…. How is transportation from the airport, can u uber, taxi or shuttle?? Enjoy!!
April and May are the most dry and hot months of the year in Mexico and that's why there is less water 💦 but June it's when the rainy season starts and the end to that problem, the rainy season finish on November. Normally water it's not a problem but this year was among the most hot we seen in years.
The water problem they had in that part of the city was in the news, and it was that a well that supplies that area of the city was disturbed by a diesel leak that mixed with the well and lasted several days without water and It's something unusual but it happened and I think they fixed everything today!
I have relatives in CDMX, they been having a water crisis for a long time, there's documentaries on it, pipes are cracking under the sinking city, they don't have a way to collect rain water and even the water they are importing from much lower elevation is prone to broken pipes, its a mess
If I wanted to get your haircut how would I describe it to the stylist? I'm taking pictures … this is for the dude in the video
I recommend to rent a car there , if you don't want to be scam.you...
Good luck guys l hope you enjoy your trip 👍 💚💚💚💚❣️❣️❣️
you need to come back to DR lol
No running water when you have food poisoning- yikes! Hope you feel better.
I like your content a lot however it would be nice if you would reverse the camera so we can see more of what you're seeing instead of your face the time❤❤
Colds, elevation sickness and food poisoning – oh my ☹️. I am sorry to hear of your travel plights however, good to see a positive ending to your very informative video 😊.
Do go out to Teotehaucan. The bus tales an hour. Some of the museums have free days. Altitude can kill you apetite. Only eat if you want to.

México en muchas partes es más seguro incluso que ciudades de estados unidos, y china es más capitalista el dia de hoy incluso que estados unidos el día de hoy.. cuando viajes y descubres eso ves, como los medios de comunicación abusan del amarillismos periodístico de forma exagerada, saludos.
Hello there! I love Mexico. Never been at Mexico City, but after watching this video, I'm definitely visiting.
Ana and Trevor love your videos and good tip on the water shortage in Mexico. If you are exploring the city, make sure you have some coins changes if you need to use the public restroom. Yes! You need to pay to get into the public restroom. If you happen to be in a safe area of Mexico city walking at night, you will find sometimes young singer with their band. As for the street food, you have to watch out. If you see a street vendor selling tacos, make sure that the person making the tacos is not the same person who is charging you. If you happen to be US citizen, I always check the US travel state gov which part of Mexico you can travel safely.
It’s so interesting both of you saying how Mexico is safe. I have so many coworkers that are Mexicans; and they are so quick to say no I would never live in Mexico when you ask if they would. It’s not safe. Enjoying your videos from Mexico though. 👍👍👍
glad to hear you two are feeling better!! Cheers!
Hey glad you both are feeling better!! Just got back from a week myself, stayed in condesa, thankfully no water issues for us. I just wanted to also say how SAFE it really is/feels anyway. The people are charming, warm and I would love to go back again, perhaps stay in Polanco. Great videos guys!!
Mexico is the size of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, parts of Utah and a little bigger. But for some reason the US media makes it seem like Merida Yucatan is right next to Tijuana 😂
Mexico city is on my future cities to see, so far we have been to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Playa del Carmen. Every city we have been fine and even outside the tourist areas. Like you said, just use common sense- dont flash cash, jewlery, etc. The locals in the cities have been great
Hey guys Calgary is looking at no water for 5 -7 weeks
It’s actually a state. Confusing. I know.
The city was called Tenochtitlán, not to be confused with the Pyramids of Teotihuacán (where you should go!). The legend was that the Aztecs were told by their gods to build their city where they saw an eagle (the highest animal) fighting with a snake (the lowest animal). When they saw this, it was in the middle of a lake (the remnants are the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco). So they drained the lake! You will see the eagle and the snake on the Mexican flag.
Very Nice Video Superb
