What to Do in Mexico City (May 18–24) | Agendir
This week in CDMX feels alive with possibilities, especially for those of us who love a little adventure. If you’re up for a scenic ride, BiciFest UNAM is your ticket to explore the stunning Ciudad Universitaria on two wheels, no cost attached. On a different note, Delicate Fall at CCU offers a raw and thought-provoking dance performance that delves into psychological themes. Personally, I'm intrigued by the blend of art and psychology in Delicate Fall; it's not your standard dance show and I think it's going to stir some feelings.
