    Is anyone going to the Colombia show before Mexico City?

    That's my plan. Leaving Colombia on Friday morning.

    The friend I'm meeting in Mexico City is going to be coming from Columbia - anyone looking to sell tickets to the Columbia show?

    Anyone staying in the Zona Rosa area? I work with a guy that grew up in Mexico City and recommended that area - will be a long trek to the show but for the rest of the trip he said we will be able to walk to lots of restaurants, bars and short cabs to sites.

    Maybe you mean Zona Roma? Condessa/Roma is the trendy happening part of the city with tons of mescal bars, restaurants, night life etc. This is where my brother and I are staying.

    La Condessa here, which is just next to Zona Rosa. I think it's a great area to stay. Only downside is it's not close to the venue, but transit should still be running after the show. Worst case a cab should work.

    Thanks for the thread Ryan!! You will have 2 more Winnipeggers at the Riazor!! (But we are going to Mazatland for a few days before the concert to do some all inclusive and ziplining!!). We check in early on the same day of the show. Perhaps we could group to the show though!

    Nice! We are coming from Canada as well. One from Winnipeg and the other from Calgary but I used to live in Winnipeg. Sounds like arranging a van shuttle to the show from Riazor is a good idea.

    Would anyone staying at the Riazor be willing to look after my luggage on the Friday morning please? I land early from the UK (about 05:30) but won't be able to get into my room until the afternoon. I don't want to leave it in the lobby or to have to take it out with me.

    Thank you for any offers of help.

    If anyone has, or knows someone who has, tickets to the show they are looking to sell I'm in search of two. GA is preferred but we aren't picky.

    Hi everyone!
    I would love to visit Teotihuacan archeological site while in the city, but I've read buses taking tourists there are known to be regularly boarded by thieves. Is it really like that?
    I don't drive, so renting a car is not an option, and taking a cab would be really expensive. Is there any tour or alternative means of transportation that locals would recommend?
    Or maybe if some of you would also like to visit the site, we could meet up, rent a car and go as a group. That would be great! I would like to go on the 27, if anyone is interested
    Just let me know :smile:
    Cheers!
