Mexico City isn't going to just disappear anytime soon. You're much better off leaving and exploring other parts of Mexico that don't have water issues. Head back to Mexico city before flying to wherever is next. Make sure to try mole, birria tacos, polloa asado, carne asada, menudo, horchata, tinga de pollo, aguas frescas, and chile con carne before leaving.

[@traveltheworldankreyol]

Mexicans are soooo friendly and welcoming, so I am happy to see you there 🥰 Enjoy your Mexican adventure. Did I mention the food lol 😋

[@HECMOAGUER]

No es normal el quedarte sin servicio de agua por más de una hora, y también eso es un problema que tienen que reportar al servicio de Airbnb, en un hotel tradicional no pasarán por esa situación.

[@mariana.bojorges]

18:41 The lack of water in your hotel could be due to the fact that some cistern pump motors require a minimum level of water to operate. Perhaps the water level was below the minimum, and although there is water in the cistern, it is not enough to pump. It is sad that there is a shortage of water, largely due to so much construction in recent years. Besides that and other things, it's a wonderful city. Love the tortas!!!

[@lewizzrocks]

People run to Paris and london for the romance of the thought of those cities but Mexico City will make you feel alive with its sights sounds and tastes. Truly on a league of its own. Deserves all the recognition it’s been getting.

[@cesarzorrilla2416]

Mexico city, one of my favorite cities to visit. So much rich culture. There is not a right word to describe it.

Can’t wait to visit Mexico City as a snow bird. I think I’ll love it. Thanks for the great video!❤

You can't miss visiting the city of Guanajuato, you will love its colonial architecture and alleys, and tunnels practically throughout the city

Moving back to the D.R. soon, and hope to visit CDMX in '25. Can't wait to experience that beautiful country.

We were there around that same time. Condessa / Roma Sur had a water shortage happening - Anna

[@rsgalarza1]

@@DelightfulTravellersno water shortage in the centro for us either.

[@lizpdx07]

The Aztec dancers are not wearing costumes. It’s regalia and what you smelled is called Copal and it’s used to cleanse and purify from the energies that attach to us as we are out and about in the world or what people wish on us.

[@jesuzo23]

The water situation is definitely the hotel’s fault… there is a water shortage, but… pretty much every building in the city should have a water tank (cisterna in Spanish) that gets filled when the water city is running and should be sufficient for the whole building The tents in the square is a protest. Not to say there aren’t tent areas for homeless in Mexico City, but is not as easy to see as in some cities in the USA.

Was it a clip from your drone that I saw? Seeing this, we have decided to spend five days there on our way to Puerto Morelos from Calgary.

[@jonathanells]

Can't wait to get to CDMX! It's in the 2025 plan. The no water thing sucks - we went to San Andres island (Colombia) for 5 days and not a single day we had "all 3" water/electricity/wifi. 2.5 days straight we had no water AND no electricity. I took my shampoo/body wash and walked to the beach and bathed in the ocean LOL. Hope it wasn't out for too long for you guys!

Good to know! Thanks Emily - Trevor

[@MrNguyenm3]

" There's a massive water crisis " but look how beautiful these fountains ⛲️ in the city park at the beginning 😅😅😅

[@nikolaiwulff]

Those fountains have ducks in it so kinda need to have water, plus it's not very deep. Right now thanks to the rains we are no longer having any water problems, but there are places in Mexico city that don't have a single drop of water and that is the government's fault

[@joanneyoung8571]

What a city! The area you stayed in looked fabulous. Love you exploring somewhere new and doing the local neighbourhoods. Yummy tacos and chorizo sandwich too.

[@rikoz1541]

Taco al pastor is basically another version of Shawarma, when the Lebanese migration hit Mexico they brought Shawarma to us and us “mexicanizamos” (turn a thing from another country to a Mexican version) the Shawarma, we change the lamb beef to pig beef and that end it up in “tacos al pastor”

[@travelertrome8449]

So exciting to see you guys in Mexico City! It always gets a bad rap for being a dangerous place to visit. Your vlog showed us so much that it is a city full of culture and good food. Looking forward to the rest of your series here! 👍

Not having water is very unusual for CDMX or any other city in Mexico. Maybe it’s a repair in that area.

Hi, about the water problem, NO it is not normal, the majority of hotels have their own cistern, enough to operate the hotel without water from the city for at least 3 days. And houses have Tinaco (water deposit on the roof) so no, it isn´t normal not having water in your room, you should ask for a partial refund.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Good to know! We got a refund as well - Anna

Water and power outages in Mexico City are somewhat regular. It might happened to you 2 or 3 times a year for various reasons. But most places are prepared for it.

Awesome that your also in my Favorite city in the world!. some points of interest .. for me anyway.. The Cardinal restaurant. Upstairs you have to take an elevator up to it.. very nice where something nice.. Fantastic service.. Make sure you rent a bike on Sunday!!! Most of downtown is closed down just for bikes roller blades etc.. get it all set up before hand (bike rental).. excellent day trust me!. The murals of Diego in the Presidential Palace!! The museum that is also right by the Square! See if you can get a tour of the bells in the Cathedral.. only 20 people at a time and only certain times of the day!

Having visited Mexico City many times over the years, I have never experienced a water shortage. But climate change is here and this is one of the results. Normally the rains have started in June and continue through the summer. But the rains have been less this year and over pumping of the underground aquifers have created the present crisis.

The water shortage is happening... more videos on that - Trevor

Hi there! Glad you liked the city so far and that you discovered tortas - not every visitor does and it is a shame as they are so good. Sorry you had water supply issues: it is true that we are having shortages but it is also true that hotels, buildings and some houses have cisterns to cope with shortages and don’t run out of water. Oh… the tents at the zocalo don’t belong to homeless people: I believe it was a Union encampment as part of a protest as one of the buildings next to Zocalo is the National Palace and the home of the president.

Can't wait to go to cdmx for our honeymoon. We're aware of the water issue and it's devastating so we may alter our plans because of it. "The system that supplies about 25 percent of the water to Mexico City's residents is running dry.
