Hi, I'm Nalleli.
I am an artist, writer, and cultural guide based in Mexico City. I publish a weekly opinion column at El Economista and previously worked for the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH). My background in dance, art, food culture, and research shapes the way I read the city — its movement, its symbols, and its emotional architecture. ⭐ National Dance Award (with Gerardo Delgado) ⭐ International Award in Excellence in Arts, Paris, France I guide travelers through Mexico City’s archaeological sites, key museums, and its vibrant Street Art and popular art scenes. From the Templo Mayor and the National Museum of Anthropology to the Museo de Arte Moderno, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, viceregal palaces, and murals across Roma, Condesa, San Rafael, and hidden neighborhoods, I explore how people express themselves through color, symbols, resistance, imagination — and food. A central part of my work is deep empathy: the ability to sense how people connect with what they see, and to adapt the narrative so each visitor discovers something meaningful about the city and about themselves. I read spaces, history, and human responses together, creating an experience that feels both intellectual and personal. Mexico is surreal, intense, contradictory, brilliant — and I love that. My tours embrace this energy: the incredible, and deeply human world that defines Mexico City. I help visitors understand not only what they are seeing, but the cultural forces, emotions, flavors, and histories that move beneath the surface. This is an intellectual, urban, artistic, food-centered, and emotionally alive experience, created for travelers who want depth, edge, and a genuine connection with Mexico’s past and present. I also offer private artistic sessions — drawing, perception, and creative interpretation — in select cultural spaces across the city.

I have mixed feelings about Nalleli. She is a very nice person and helped us out. But she is a poor guide with little knowledge. She showed us what is…
