In Mexico City, do not drink tap water. Use bottled water or water that has been properly treated or purified, and avoid drinks with ice unless you know the ice comes from a safe source. If in doubt, opt for bottled water and ask for beverages without ice. Key points to stay safe:
- Tap water: generally not safe to drink directly.
- Alternatives: bottled water, boiled water, or filtered water from a reliable system.
- Ice and beverages: avoid unless you’re confident the ice was made from purified water.
- Food hygiene: wash hands or use sanitizer before eating, and choose reputable restaurants.
If you’d like, I can tailor a quick hydration plan for your trip (e.g., daily water needs, portable purification options, and recommended brands).
