When he gets where you want to be, tell him to stop. When a pesaro comes along also holding up two fingers and stops, ask him if he is going to the Zocalo (most of them do, but some go to La Villa which is another direction.) If he says si, get in. The only trick is to get into good position and hold up two fingers. They are white with green markings and they will take you anywhere along that route for two pesos (16 cents). They stop anywhere along that route and pick up and let off passengers. These cabs run from Chapultapec Park down the Reforma and Juarez Street to the Zocalo. Since your hotel and most of your activities are quite likely to be downtown, on the Avenida de la Reforma (Mexico CityвЂ™s beautiful wide premier street), or in the Zona Rosa (the chic shopping, restaurant, and night club area), the most fun and cheapest way to get from place to place is to learn the pesero system. You pay exactly whatвЂ™s on the meter and they are a bargain. The best taxis to hail are the yellow cabs (usually Volkswagens) with LIBRE on the meter. If you hail one, again set the price and donвЂ™t be afraid to haggle. These cabs are orange and you also see them on the street. Always agree on a price before entering the cab or they can (and will) charge what they feel the limits of reason allow (plenty). There are, of course, plenty of taxis available around all of the major hotels but they are laying for tourists and arenвЂ™t particularly cheap. Your main problem now will be in getting around the city. But if you do, you will be glad you donвЂ™t have to go get it. This is the best medicine if you begin to feel tourista illness coming on. While still at SanbornвЂ™s, go to the drug counter and buy a bottle of Lomotil con Neomicina. It is the best pocket reference available and it gives enough information about each place recommended for you to make up your mind whether you and author Rudi Robins will agree. When you get to SanbornвЂ™s, buy a copy of Guide to the Best of Everything in Mexico City. The hotels will do it, but the exchange rate is less favorable.

On your way to SanbornвЂ™s, stop at a bank to exchange your money. Unpack leisurely, make plans for the evening, and locate the nearest SanbornвЂ™s. DonвЂ™t hurry-the natives donвЂ™t, and they live here-until your system catches up. The altitude (7,200 feet) has a way of taking the wind out of your sails, leaving you tired. Once settled in your hotel room, take it easy. The Geneve and the Montejo, for example, are two Zona Rosa (Pink Zone) standbys which are pleasant. There are also many hotels which offer just a little less sumptious surroundings for $15 to $25 a day. Any good travel agent can help you find accommodations. There are, of course, many other hotels in this price range offering comparable surroundings and services. The first two are uptown (toward Chapultapec) and the other two are at the Alameda, a large park near the center of town.

Hotels in the $25 to $40 a day range include the luxurious Maria Isabel-Sheraton (our headquarters with all of the conveniences of home plus some), the rambling El Camino Real (this self-contained unit has 11 bars, a nightclub, several swimming pools, etc., but it is just a little out of action central), the elegant old Bamer (the favorite of many seasoned travellers), and the gringo-infested Del Prado (where you are just as likely to run into a convention of Indiana tractor salesmen as a real Mexican). There are hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, and cultural events for every taste and budget. A four-day excursion is delightful, and not as expensive as many far less exciting domestic cities. One of the five largest cities in the world deserves a closer examination. When it comes to vacation time, too many people overlook Mexico City for more heavily advertised exotica, or they spend just a day or two there before jumping off to other places.
