Options for accommodation and transport

​

Mexico City is a wonderful but massive city with traffic problems, that is why we recommend to  stay in hotels or Airbnbs in the suggested area (map below) and to use Uber or Lyft as transport. The Airport is 15-19 mins away from the Venue.

We strongly suggest to plan ahead. Google maps or any GPS are a good option to estimate time arrivals.
