The popular Saturday morning Slow Food Organic Market is an eight-minute walk up Avenida Reforma. Only a 20-minute stroll to the Main Zocalo (Plaza Grande) and a convenient Taxi or Uber ride to any place in the historic downtown (El Centro) or the ultra-modern and expanding "North" as well as the gulf coasts beaches, getting around is easy. Prefer to drive? Cocodrilo boasts a garage. Unlike many in Centro, wide enough to open the doors once you pull your car in. Proximity to the new Convention Center and the lively courtyard restaurant and boutique shopping complex, Paseo-60, add to Casa Cocodrilo’s popularity as a vacation rental. After a busy day, a return to Cocodrilo is akin to a cleansing breathe. Welcome home!
