👍👍 Excellent place and well cared for, if you visit it do not mistreat and respect the vegetation. There are several places around to sit or walk around. Very quiet and there are several parking lots nearby. DO NOT leave trash. People often mention para, lugar, water, walk, visit, city, time, park, quiet, tranquilo,

    My wife took me to this park where she had played as a child, it brought tears to her eyes to find that "fuente de tlaloc" no longer has water flowing around its serpent course. We spoke to several locals walking in the park who told us, water has not flown for years. With all the pleasure this beautifully park has, it just needs the water to flow to give lasting memories to generations of families who visit. With a new president, monies retained by those who misused government funds, water could flow again. Let's hope so.

    Well... there isn't any water, and doesn't look like there's been water in years. It's okay to walk around, but mostly you're just left imaging how nice it would be if all of the water features had water. The big lake is okay to walk around (that has water at least), but honestly the lake in Chapultepec is larger and nicer, with more places to sit and enjoy it away from crowds. I would avoid this park. Once upon a time it must've been pretty great. Now it just seems like a bit of a waste, when a larger, better park is just a little to the east. Maybe if/when they again add water to the "water garden" it'd be worthwhile place to wander around.

    (Translated by Google) The museum as such no longer exists. Although it is seen that there is exposure inside the central structure, it is abandoned and full of dust, on the outside the doors are very dirty. You can only see the building and the exposed sewers on the outside. (Original) El museo como tal ya no existe. Aunque se ve que hay exposición dentro de la estructura central, está abandonada y llena de polvo, por fuera las puertas están muy sucias. Sólo se puede apreciar por fuera el edificio y las alcantarillas de exhibidas.

  • 5/5 Rodolfo M. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) For most of us, when we open a tap to drink water, it is a routine act, but few of us are aware of the enormous effort involved in treating it, and if we add a bit of art to it, the resulting mixture is a beautiful work of hydraulic engineering that can proudly claim the title of being the heart of the city. (Original) Para la mayoría de los capitalinos cuando abrimos una llave para tomar agua es un acto rutinario pero pocos tenemos conciencia del enorme esfuerzo que implica tratarla y si a eso aunamos un poco de arte, la mezcla resultante es una hermosa obra de ingeniería hidráulica y que puede reclamar orgullosamente el título de ser el corazón de la ciudad.

    (Translated by Google) Site with natural beauty. It is a good place to spend a relaxing and quiet time outdoors alone, as a couple or with family. A quite recommended place to visit and admire a weekend. It is important to know and identify the history and all the events related to the site. It is located in the second section of the Chapultepec forest so we can take a tour and easily walk to the place since access is very fast and has all the correct signs to find the place fast and easy. (Original) Sitio con belleza natural. Es un buen lugar para pasar un rato relajado y tranquilo al aire libre sólo, en pareja o con familia. Un lugar bastante recomendable para visitar y admirar un fin de semana. Es importante conocer e identificar la historia y todo los acontecimientos relacionados con el sitio. Se encuentra en la segunda seccion del bosque de chapultepec por lo que podemos realizar un recorrido y llegar fácilmente caminando al lugar ya que el acceso es muy rápido y cuenta con todas las señalizaciones correctas para dar con el lugar rápido y fácil.

  • 5/5 Adrian Z. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting place to visit and get away from all the noise of the city. You can run, ride a bike or walk your pet. There are several places where you can park your car, the cost is $ 42.00 pesos free time, and there in the parking lot there is restroom service and they charge you $ 5 pesos. You can admire the lake, walk along the old tracks of the little train that circulated many years ago or when the Natural History museum reopens you can visit it, it is worth it. (Original) Interesante lugar para visitar y alejarte un poco de todo el ruido de la ciudad. Puedes correr, andar en bici o pasear a tu mascota. Existen varios lugares donde puedes estacionar tu auto, el costo es de $42.00 pesos tiempo libre, y ahi en el estacionamiento hay servicio de sanitarios y te cobran $5 pesos. Puedes admirar el lago, caminar por las antiguas vías del trenecito que circulaba hace muchos años o cuando reabran el museo de Historia Natural puedes visitarlo, vale la pena.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place, small museum but Beautiful, with a very special great organ. Although this time, we were only outside, where there are fountains, benches, sidewalks for cycling or rollerblading and picnic areas, and there are not as many people in it as in other parts of the forest. (Original) Hermoso lugar, el museo pequeño pero Bellísimo, con un gran órgano muy especial. Aunque está vez, solo estuvimos afuera, donde hay fuentes, bancas, banquetas para recorrer en bici o patines y espacios para hacer picnic, y no hay tanta gente en el como en otras partes del bosque.

    (Translated by Google) A hidden gem in Mexico City with a lot of history, culture and of great importance in the life of one of the largest metropolises in the world. Here is the main entrance to the main artery that supplies drinking water to this city, they call it the Cárcamo del Sistema Cutzamala, a work of engineering admirable throughout the world for its magnitude. If you want to understand how a great city that once stood on a large lake half fresh water and half salt is now dying for having water and for this it has built mega infrastructures that give it artificial life. (Original) Una joya escondida en la Ciudad de México con mucha historia, cultura y de gran importancia en la vida de una de las más grandes metrópolis del mundo. Aquí se encuentra la entrada principal a la principal arteria que abastece de agua potable a esta ciudad, lo llaman el Cárcamo del Sistema Cutzamala, una obra de ingenieria admirable en todo el mundo por su magnitud. Si quieres entender cómo una gran ciidad que una vez estuvo sobre un gran lago mitad agua dulce y mitad salada hoy agoniza por tener agua y para ello ha hecho mega infraestructuras que le dan vida artificial.

    (Translated by Google) Fun fact: Many years ago this place filmed a very famous Mexican suspense horror TV episode the hour marked "sometimes they come back" This section of the chapultepec forest, despite being withdrawn, has large anegdotes. A space is ideal for football or little pigs. and indeed enjoy the forest. Hopefully the snakes and fountains that surround these circumferences, will bring them back to life would be more striking. (Original) Dato curioso: Este lugar hace muchos años se filmo un capitulo de tv mexicana de suspenso terror muy famoso la hora marcada con "a veces regresan" Esta sección del bosque de chapultepec, a pesar de estar retirada tiene grandes anegdotas. Un espacio es ideal para cascaritas futboleras o tochito. y en.efecto disfrutar del bosque. Ojala las serpientes y fuentes que rodean estas circunferencias, les volvirran a dar vida seria mas llamativo.
