According to the size and population, Mexico City (CDMX) is one of the biggest cities in the world, making it easy to get lost and feel unsafe. This paper presents TourisMexico, a new application for mobile devices, Android, which aims to create audio tours in order to promote tourists to move at their own pace and safely. Also by using the tour creator, the app brings an opportunity to local users to monetize their creations. These tours can be downloaded, for an offline follow through, also the users have access to maps which facilitates their displacement. By using the mobile connection, the users have tips and interesting travel articles, left by others, tourists. The article explains each phase of the development process of TourisMexico based on the User-Centered Design methodology.
