A pleasant respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, this charming green park has sparkling fountains, shady trees and interesting sculptures such as 'Malgre Tout' and 'Despoire', by Jesús Contreras. The park also has a monument dedicated to Beethoven in commemoration of the centenary of the Ninth Symphony, which was donated by the German community. This recreation space for the local populace was created in 1592 and few city parks guard such hidden history in its landscape, such as being the former site of the Inquisition's burning of heretics. A typical Mexican Sunday can be enjoyed at the Alameda Central, which often has live music, along with markets and food stalls.

The pre-Hispanic origins of this zoo date back to when the Aztec Nezahualcóyotl created this area for the population to enjoy the flora and fauna. It was meant not only for entertainment but also for medicinal, artistry, food provision and religious purposes. Today around 2,000 animals of some 260 species consider these 17 hectares (42 acres) their natural habitat. Different biospheres have been recreated to make these guests feel more at home. Temperate woods of conifer trees shield the bears, deer and wolves; there are pastures for herbivores and deserts of arid and semiarid regions for other creatures; the Arctic tundra for the polar bears and even a coastal shore for sea lions. This is also the home of the Russian pandas, which were the first to produce offspring in captivity.

Le Bosque de Chapultepec (forêt de Chapultepec) est l’une des attractions les plus populaires de Mexico. Figurant parmi les plus grands parcs urbains de l’hémisphère occidental, il occupe au total 686 hectares. Il s’agit d’une oasis verdoyante dans la ville, qui retrace des histoires de l’ère aztèque à travers ses cyprès de Montézuma et plusieurs artéfacts mésoaméricains qui sont préservés sans le musée sur place. Le parc abrite également le magnifique château de Chapultepec, un souvenir des souverains espagnols de la région. En plus de ce château, le Monument aux enfants héros, le Carcamo, la fontaine de Tlaloc et les bains de Moctezuma sont quelques-unes des attractions les plus célèbres de ce parc.

The largest amusement park in Latin America has become part of a well-known U.S. amusement conglomerate. Now known as Six Flags Mexico, it has incorporated the rides and themes of its northern domain, including an Adventure Kingdom and dizzying roller coasters. There are dining facilities available on the premises.

This national park provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. Located in the Delegación Cuajimalpa reached by the freeway to Toluca, there are signposts to the park surrounding a 17th Century former Carmelite monastery known as the "Desert of the Lions." Arriving in the 1600s, the Carmelites named this area with reference to the biblical Elijah, who lived in the wilderness and the Leones (lions) are a reference to the family León, who were the monastery's legal representatives. Walk the dark tunnels and explore the cabins. You can enjoy a comfortable day in the countryside.
