Casa Pedregal is one of the key works of Luis Barragán, the only Mexican architect to have won the Pritzker Prize. He built it on the lava of the Xitle volcano, integrating the volcanic rock into the garden instead of removing it. Colored walls, water mirrors, and a handling of light that changes the entire house throughout the day. Your guide tours you through the house and gardens, and explains to you the thought behind every decision: why that wall, that color, that shadow.

*LUNCH NOT INCLUDED AND OPTIONAL* Lunch is optional and paid for by the visitor. Explore Luis Barragán’s work on a tour that combines art, architecture and spirituality. The experience begins in the Capuchin Chapel (not photos), in Tlalpan, a jewel of serenity and light where each space reflects the deep connection between faith and design. The tour is guided by one of the sisters of the convent, which allows to live the visit from an authentic and close perspective. Then, continue to the Casa Pedregal, one of Barragán’s most emblematic works, where geometry, color and integration with nature create a unique atmosphere of balance and contemplation. To close the experience, you will have the option of enjoying lunch at Casa Tetetlán, a contemporary space that dialogues with Barragán architecture. Its culinary proposal celebrates local ingredients and modern Mexican cuisine in an environment of design and calm.
