(Translated by Google) A pleasant public square to rest for a while, there are not many trees and the gardens need a little care but in general it is in good condition, several food stalls and snacks, ice cream, in addition to being a space for public events, and base point for public transport

Una plaza pública agradable para descansar un rato, no hay muchos árboles y le falta un poco de cuidado a los jardines pero en general está en buenas condiciones, varios puestos de comida y antojitos, helado, además de ser un espacio para eventos públicos, y punto de base para transporte público

(Translated by Google) The place is small but it's good to go and entertain yourself.
I went to the Corn Fair.
It's not that good, I hope they improve it over time.
In their food area they needed to put more tables so that one can enjoy their food sitting down.
I bought a corn tamale that was not cooked properly.
If you find several things to eat
Quesadillas.
Golden tacos
Enchiladas.
Chile atole.
Pineapple atole
Roasted corn, esquites.
French wing potatoes.
Frappes
Chamoyadas
Donuts
Etc etc.
We'll see how it goes next year.
The only thing I really like is the weather.
Cold. What envy.

En su área de comida les faltó poner más mesas para que uno disfrutará sus alimentos sentados.
Compré un tamal de elote que no estaba bien cocido.
Si encuentras varias cosas para comer
Quesadillas.
Tacos dorados

Perfect for nature lovers and people looking for something different and keen on trekking or just having fun going up the pyramid. You'll need good cardio though, so take your time and enjoy your climb up.

Archeological finds at the Cerro de la Estrella archeological site relate to the Teotihuacan, Toltec, Chichimeca and Culhua-Mexica cultures and range from 1500 BCE to 1521. Excavations have found the Temple of the New Fire, the Sanctuary, the Villa Estrellas, 144 caves, the remains of walls and evidence of terracing. The most important of these is the former plaza and temple of the New Fire Ceremony, which is on the top of the hill. This archeological site can be visited through a guided tour.
However, early archeological remains can be found in many parts of the park, including those which have since been covered over by urban sprawl.
Ceramic and stone sculpture materials were discovered in the west side of Huizachtecatl that apparently was made within the 100 to 500 years CE; these resemble other similar pieces found in Zacatenco, north of Mexico City. The constructions here were built between the year 100 and 650 AD and are located in the north side, the remains consist of foundations and walls of palaces that show Teotihuacan influence. Another area was housing zone at the middle of the hill, built during the late Classic period 600 to 900 CE. In 2003, specialists from the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia INAH worked to document petroglyphs found in various areas of the park, registering 210 in eleven groups, but they believe there are still more. Some of the petroglyphs are aligned with certain annual solar events.
The most recent find was in 2006, when a pyramid base was discovered in what is called Calvary at the top of the mountain. This base dates to the Teotihuacan period, about 1300 years ago. INAH has decided not to excavate the base.
The last New Fire ceremony took place in 1507. Today, the hill remains important culturally, as the scene of Iztapalapa’s annual Passion Play.

A great place to contemplate the city from above, celebrating the spirit of the New Fire. It may need more care from local authorities, despite the fact, the Aztec building remains.

(Translated by Google) It's really a great place to run and exercise in general.
If on Saturdays you realize that it is very windy 90%, I am sure that on Sunday you will be able to see the entire city of Mexico.
They also sell food that is nothing ostentatious.
We all wear masks, I only take them off occasionally for the photo.

Es realmente un excelente lugar para correr y hacer ejercicio en general.
Si los días sábados te das cuenta de que hace mucho viento 90% seguro que el día domingo podrás ver toda la ciudad de México.

(Translated by Google) The place itself is incredible and wonderful to climb up to this place.
Getting to the Mexica basement makes it even better.
You can visit almost every archaeological area, its caves and grottoes.
The view from the top is simply impressive.
Well worth visiting with family or friends.
The thing is that there are no bathrooms, nor where to throw the garbage and some people are very filthy and leave a lot of garbage.
Surveillance is almost non-existent in the place, I recommend being alive.
(Original)
El lugar en sí es increíble y maravilloso subir hasta este lugar.
llegar al basamento mexica lo hace aun mejor.
se puede recorrer casi toda zona arqueológica, sus cuevas y sus grutas.
la vista desde la cúspide es sencillamente impresionante.
bien vale la pena para visitar en familia, o con amigos.
lo que si es que no hay ni baños, ni donde tirar la basura y algunas personas son muy cochinas y dejan mucha basura.
la vigilancia es casi nula en el lugar les recomiendo estar a las vivas.

Coyoacán, a bohemian neighborhood in Mexico City, is home to the leafy Jardín Centenario park and features cobblestone streets and colonial architecture. The neighborhood is known for its vibrant art scene, with numerous galleries showcasing traditional Mexican handcrafted products. Visitors can explore the Museo de Frida Kahlo or the former home of Leon Trotsky, both well-preserved landmarks that offer insight into Mexican history and culture.
The Frida Kahlo Museum is a renowned museum dedicated to the life and works of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. The museum is located at her former home in Coyoacan district, Mexico City. The museum is filled with vibrant artwork by Frida Kahlo, including self portraits and colorful paintings of her relationships with famous artists such as Diego Rivera and Leon Trotsky. If you are visiting Mexico City, be sure to visit the Frida Kahlo Museum!
Its clean, organized, popular and overall it's good.
I didn't like that i had troubles at the front desk due to the were asking me if I was re-entering to the museum cause as i bought my tickets online, they said that they were already used and, well, all my info was correct, so they have an issue with their system.
I couldn't buy and extra ticket while on the line, so i recommend buy the tickets online.
Alejandro Sandoval — Google review
Be sure to get tickets in advance; they're pretty good with the schedules and keep the line moving. If you want to take pictures inside the museum, you'll need to buy a permit at the front desk to avoid an awkward moment with the staff during your tour :)
The exhibition is very well kept and you're able to experience a little bit of the life of this amazing woman
Elisa Taymes — Google review
I turned up 11.30 and their were tickets available by qr code for 3.45. It looked like a tourist nightmare so decided not to do as is small place. For those not on a tour (which is basically the problem of it being booked out) there is a Trotsky museum in the next street aswell. Fan or not it’s a beautiful house and garden and no fee for pictures with a garden for coffee. Also quick bus ride away Diego Rivera ‘museum’ - impressive place made by frank Lloyd right. The stuff in it is a bit of a mix of meso America and modern which not really worth seeing if you already been to the big museums but the house and garden are unusual. Plus you can have a beer and tamales.
Citywealth Magazine — Google review
This place is an outstanding experience. If you're in CDMX, bring this to the top of your list of destinations. I recommend getting your tickets at least a week in advance as they sell out quickly. It's nice because there are never too many people in the museum at any one time which makes it feel like you get to see everything you want to.
Caroline Giegerich — Google review
GET A TICKET BEFOREHAND! It can be sold out for days and it’s far away from the city center so don’t take a chance! It’s a cool place though, seeing actual garments from paintings was very cool. Not a lot of self portraits though. Be sure to check out other places in the area, there’s great restaurants in the area, the Leon Trotsky Museum is also a highlight.
Petter Nyman — Google review
Oh the blue house! Can't be missed! It really depicts the essence of Frida, colorful, artistic, yet tough & painful. It is monumental, regarding her huge personality, but also the period of time she lived! The garden is so cozy to grab a cup of coffee!

A must see in Mexico City. Really enjoyed it. You need to book your ticket online and there will be a queue so do arrive like 15min before. Wasn’t expecting to be so far away in the city. Really nice museum, but was expecting to see more art by Frida. It’s 30 pesos if you want to take photos.

A must stop if you are in Mexico City. Humanizes Frida and allows for an intimate, private view of her entire life. This museum is located in the house she was born, raised and passed in. Has a lovely temporary exhibit with objects that have never been seen before.

Beautiful house and the landscape was also very beautiful, the tour was great, get to experience the life of Frida from birth to her death. Tickets need to be purchased ahead of time or else if you wait til you get there there won't be any available.

Pretty interesting experience. It was kind of annoying that they don’t sell tickets there (you have to buy online in advance). However, it was still worth the visit. Pro tip: show up at the very last time slot so you can take your sweet time and avoid the crowds.

We loved this museum. It really did an amazing job having you understand Frida’s life and what made her so incredibly special as an artist and member of Mexican and global society.
Buy tickets in advance and head to the Coyuchan market after!
Stacey Furtado — Google review
Not a large museum but a good one. If you enjoy Frida Kahlo then is an absolute must. Enchanting and delightful. We visited through a tour so I am not familiar with how to purchase tickets ahead of time. Was a once in a lifetime experience seeing some of her works and home for the first time. Everything was displayed beautifully. Glad that everything was easy to access and closed off so items are not disturbed by guests. We were able to see the museum in about an hour.
N'Dozie Matingou — Google review
Such an amazing experience to get to see where Frida and Diego lived. You get to explore the garden, and all of the rooms within the house. It was cool to see the bed where she painted, her easel, and all of her dresses. The garden is beautiful and the gift shop has some nice gifts to take back home.
Shazad Beharry — Google review
Beautiful museum, Frida is a legend and to see her beautiful home is a must to see.
Highly recommend to visit this museum if you’re visiting CDMX.
Buy your tickets weeks ahead of time and also spend the extra $30 pesos to take pictures.
The staff speaks English and Spanish and once you’re in you can see the whole museum for about 2 hours.
Ash — Google review
Buy your ticket online!!! No exceptions. The staff is super kind, and friendly, Ale one of their staff was super helpful. You cannot buy tickets there and you must confirm that your tour includes a ticket or if you have to buy it separately. The entire house takes around 1 hour to get through, and is beautifully kept. Staff are knowledgeable of its history, so you can ask them. Also, you can only take pictures, no video, and you must purchase that pass when you buy your ticket.
Ana Mosqueda — Google review
It is unlike any museum I have ever been to. Like being invited into someone’s home, posthumously, to bask in all the art and their personal collection and artefacts. It’s like coming to know someone, their innermost thoughts (e.g., the corset that held her up, how she saw herself, how much she loved Diego), and it’s a beautiful, wonderful experience.
Buy tickets online and in advance. Be early to line up and expect there to always be a crowd. They’ll say the whole museum will take you 45 minutes. Unless you’re prepared to rush through, plan for 1.5-2 hours. Take in Freda’s indomitable spirit and be inspired.
Amanda Cooke — Google review
I didn't knew much about Frida Khalo and after visiting La Casa Azul I learned a lot. A must visit place if you are in CDMX. Make sure you buy your tickets online in advance.
Francisco D. — Google review
Plan on buying your tickets a week ahead of time if you plan on just visiting the museum as they do sell out. I tried to book tickets for a Friday on a Thursday morning and the only option was to buy a bundled tour for Xochimilco, Coyacan, and the Frida Kahlo Museum ($100). The museum itself if beautiful, peaceful, and worth the visit.
Freddy Hernandez — Google review
an impressive collection of beautiful art, the overall experience falls short of expectations. The venue is often overcrowded to the point where it becomes a challenge to navigate through the space. On my visit, the presence of large school groups, combined with the usual influx of tourists, made it nearly impossible to appreciate the art fully. The sheer number of visitors, easily in the upwards of 60, created an environment that was more chaotic than contemplative. While the artwork itself might be a draw, the overcrowded conditions significantly detract from the experience, making it difficult to recommend a visit.

The Palacio de Bellas Artes is a renowned cultural center in Mexico City with stunning, eye-catching art murals painted by some of the most famous artists in history. The building is vast and contains several galleries, as well as a museum dedicated to architecture. It has been the scene of some of Mexico's most significant events in music, dance, theatre and literature, and it remains an iconic place for visitors to explore.
This was one of the most memorable experience in my visit to Mexico City.
We visited the Palacio de Bellas Artes during the weekend and saw a Ballet Folklorico de México show. It was a very emotional performance and the venue completely immersed you. The building’s architecture is stunning.
The shows are almost always sold out, so you should either purchase your tickets in advance or arrive at least two hours before the show.
Juanjo Arg?ello — Google review
Splendid place to visit, for around $4 dollars you can go into the museum I went on Monday, The building itself is gorgeous. Inside it's like a museum and a theater all in one. I can't speak to the acoustics of the theater because we didn't see a show there, but we did see two different exhibits, as well as the huge murals on the walls, remember museums are closed on Mondays. Fantastic venue. Amazing folkloric dance performance! Don't bother buying tickets online just walk in prior to performance and buy...much easier and cheaper. We would go again and again. Without doubt, there's a pretty place to visit in CDMX

Located in the heart of Mexico City, this project stands as a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of human minds. The historical site was transformed into a masterpiece by a team of skilled architects and artists, resulting in a building that is truly awe-inspiring. The attention to detail and innovative design elements are beyond compare, making it one of the most impressive and interesting projects in the city. It is a true reflection of the limitless potential of human imagination and serves as a source of inspiration for generations to come.

The murals are breath taking. If you want to experience this unique art form then here is the place. The building itself is a jaw dropping architecture grandor both in day and night time. The park around is always crowded, full of activities and is a fun place to walk around or simply sit and watch people. Oh, make sure you scan the QR code to read the description of the murals in English to appreciate each panels. Otherwise, all descriptions are in Spanish, no English.

This is obviously a beautiful museum. You'd be crazy to think otherwise. It's even free to all guests in Sunday! There are three floors. The first two have mostly mural paintings with wings that have photography exhibits. The top floor also currently (March 2024) has a photography exhibit. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours here. There is also a performance hall inside where you can watch orchestra and dancing. Check the calendar for those events and prices.

A must visit if you are in Mexico City. The architecture is beautiful and if you can go to the sears cafe across the street, I would definitely recommend that. The view of the palacio from the sears cafe is unreal. Go here while the sun is setting for an even better experience
Darshan Shetty — Google review
This is an excellent example of Art Deco design. On the top level there is about 10 murals with at least two by Diego Rivera. There is also an exhibit by an important Mexico artist. Some paintings but mainly sculpture. Tourists will pay 90 pesos at the time of this writing, but Mexican citizens and residents will be free on Sundays.
The performance hall is also supposed to be gorgeous, but you will need to arrange to buy tickets to see a performance.
This venue can be done in one to two hours

Can't miss the iconic grandeur of this architectural world class beauty. We saw Amalia Hernandez' Ballet Folklorico. Pictures cannot do this performance justice. Incomparable. The costumes, beauty, choreography, music, and dance evoke cultural emotion like no other. I've seen many performances all over the world. I would come back to CDMX just to see this show again. Thank you Amalia.

We visited Mexico City between 3rd May to 6th May 2023 and visited so many places and saw this place but from a distance and had a aerial view of this place as visiting hour was over. Looks beautiful. Wonderful historical place. Sharing Photo/video taken from a nearby high-rise building. Aerial view of nearby places are visible in the video.

You have to see the National Mexican Folkloric Show. It's a blast. The show is about 2 hrs long. But it worth every second of it. The stage is very deep, with the great sound and lights. The maximum quantity of artists on the stage is about 50 people at a time. It's really very impressive. The costumes are gorgeous.
It's guaranteed that you'll have long lasting memories about your trip to the CDMX.

This is an iconic place for Mexico City, but almost all visitors are only able to come to the museum of Palacio. Unfortunately, I must admit that the place is extremely overrated.
You may visit three floors there, two of them are the photos exhibition. The one on the first doesn’t even worth a glance, the one on the third floor is pretty good.
Other thing to see is murals on the wall, and they are pretty nice as well.

It's a beautiful and majestic specimen of architecture. The neighbourhood is nice- lots of street food, and good ones. The best spot to enjoy this palace is the coffee shop which is right opposite to the main entrance of the palace.

The architecture of the place is astonishing. The inside prevails with an art-deco atmosphere clearly taking you back to the 1930s with its marble floors and walls. The murals are spectacular. It also has a wholesome library inside packed with interesting books and classics.

A stunning piece of architecture in the heart of the city. This is a great meeting place for people and there is a lively feel in the grounds surrounding this place in both the day and the night.

Parque Nacional Cumbres del Ajusco, located south of Mexico City, offers a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking through pine forests, biking and motocross trails. The area provides sweeping views of the Valley of Mexico and is home to the highest peak in Mexico City, Pico del Aguila. While some may find the climb strenuous, reaching the summit rewards visitors with a breathtaking panoramic vista.
Located down South of Mexico City, this natural reserve is a lovely place for hiking, if you have a day to spare while in the region.

Nice place to hike, lots of roads to follow so make sure you know the route as you might get lost and in some places the mobile signal is not available, food is available only at the starting point and you might need to pay in some check points along the route between $10.00 and $30.00 pesos per person or dog :) I suggest to arrive early around 7 to 9 am to have plenty of time to explore ;)

Cerro Pico del Águila km 21 Col. Héroes de 1910, 14714 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
The Chapultepec Castle overlooks Bosques de Chapultepec and is a regal site in Mexico City. The castle was home to Emperor Maximilian and Empress Carlota in the 19th century. Today, the castle houses the Museo Nacional de Historia.
A genuine castle on a hill with real history. Fun fact: when the USA won the war, they briefly occupied the castle. Unfortunately if that piques your curiosity, you won’t find any information in the Mexican museum.
You can access the main castle body on the back of the area, through the horse carriage stable/garage. Seeing the opulence makes your imagination spin for what things must have been like for the well connected in the 19th century. Worth a visit!

Loved this castle!!! The views are incredible and all rooms made to enjoy it. It is beautifully maintained. Many rooms well preserved. The terraces are stunning and gardens lovely. The walk up is some effort but there is a handicap entrance for those need it. The parks surrounding below the castle is wide and expansive. Entry is dirt cheap at 85 pesos. Take cash they ask for exact change
Wanderers Compass Travel Blog — Google review
Loved my visit to the castle, and gardens. It’s fabulous! I visited the palace of Versailles in Paris and was let down by how little of the palace was available for tourists. This Castillo by contrast is completely opened up and offers not just a view into royal life in Mexico, but also a terrific collection of historical art, and a great summary overview of Mexican history following the Conquistadores. If you’re a Canadian like me you probably didn’t learn any of this is school and I suspect you’ll be very interested in digging i to this topic more deeply.
Tickets were reasonably priced IMO and great value. The walk up the hill is not too difficult though it is made worse by the masking requirement (seriously… they want you to mask up outside which seems insane to me, but what can you do). Just take a few breaks along the way if you need to. There are some great views of the park along your way up.
Remember to come at least 90 minutes before closing (last entry is 430) or you won’t even scratch the surface.
Not all of the objects provide descriptions in English. Many are Spanish only but it didn’t take away from the experience for me. The day we went we were only allowed to pay cash which was odd. Hopefully a one-off issue with the WIFI
I highly recommend this attraction. Attached to this review are some of my highlights

This is a beautiful, well maintained monument to history. This building is very well persevered along with a lot of elements from its past days. You can see into various rooms and learn about the lifestyles of the then-elite (while acknowledging the role it played to Mexican history. The view from the top is great, but get ready to walk a bit! I went on a Friday and there was an impressive queue already there, but thankfully, it moved rather quickly.

This castle is a must see if you are visiting CDMX. It’s on a hill, so be prepared for an uphill hike. It it has gorgeous views on the city. The castle itself is very interesting with good insight into Mexican history. Give yourself plenty of time for a visit so you can see the castle, the expositions inside it and the garden.

Beautiful castle and surrounds- make sure you bring cash for the ticket, they didn’t accept credit card when I visited. The main section of the castle does not have English translation but is still worth exploring, while the living quarters has excellent translations outlining the history over the past 300 years or so. Overall very well curated and maintained museum!

Came here on a Thursday at 9, which is when it opens because we wanted to avoid the crowds, and it worked - except for one school trip but we only ran into them once at the beginning. Tickets are sold down at the hill (the castle is on top of the hill so it is a bit of a trek) but there are not really any signs as to where to purchase the tickets. We only knew because shortly after we started up the hill, a kind soul told us that we need to purchase the tickets in the little house first because if you get up there and you don't have a ticket, they'll send you right back down. For the tickets, you have to pay cash and they want you to pay in exact change. We didn't have exact change (I mean who does, nowadays?) so we had to pay with a bigger bill and we realized that she shorted us our change. And she knew exactly what she was doing because as soon as we went back to the window, she immediately gave us the correct amount. You also can't bring water and they make you spill it out once you get to the top.
Other than that, the castle is very beautiful and there are lots of details. You can look at each room behind ropes and each room has an information plaque telling you what the room was used for. Overall, it took us about an hour to walk through everthing, once we were up there.
It also looked like they were setting up for some kind of event here. A wedding here would be beautiful (though probably very expensive).
Definitely worth a visit. Just remember to go early, buy tickets, and count your change!

A beautiful castle in the heart of Mexico City. Be prepared to walk a lot! Buy your ticket at the building at the very bottom of the hill (before security). Tickets currently cost 90 pesos a person, which is a great deal.
The walk up the hill to the castle is quite the trek and not for the out of shape. Once you get to the top, there’s a number of spots where you can check out the views of the city and parks below.
Beautiful rooms to peek into, and some signs are also in English which was great.
There are some elevators in the castle so people who can’t do the stairs can see the second floor.
Worth a visit! Expect to spend around a hour here. Great spot for solo travelers!

Great views, may be a guided tour works best to have a route inside the place as it is big and there is a lost of information and history that might be better digested if someone is explaining it in a certain order. I went on a regular Saturday and there were 2 people in line before me. Try to be early around 9 or 10 am it got crowded afterwards.
There castle is between 2 to 3 hours + depending on your own approach.
Remember there is a Zoo and the forest to walk through if you like.

Great tourist attraction in the main park. Lovely views of the city in all directions. Interesting exhibits too. Tourists are charged to enter on Sundays.

Beautiful castle that’s definitely worth a visit if you have the opportunity. Students get tickets for free, even from other countries. If you do visit, highly recommend wearing comfy shoes as it’s quite a hike to get to the actual castle. Also, buy your tickets beforehand at the bottom or you’ll have to walk down and up again.
Ashley Sellen — Google review
Such a beautiful and historical place. The walk up to the castle is a long one, but definitely worth it. Reminder: you can’t enter with drinks, so make sure you drink them prior to getting to the castle or they’ll make you either drink it or throw it away.

Bosque de Chapultepec I Secc, Miguel Hidalgo, 11580 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
The National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City is a must-see for anyone interested in pre-Hispanic civilizations. The museum contains some of the most beautiful and impressive artifacts from across Mexico, dating back to the Olmecs, Totonacs, Huastecs, and Classic Veracruz periods. The displays are arranged chronologically and are filled with interesting information on each civilization. There is also a good section on contemporary indigenous cultures in Mexico.
Prepare to spend all day here, it is a huge establishment that has so many artifacts, sculptures and monuments. I love that it has indoor and outdoor parts that allow you to see lots of different things. I spent 2 hours here and i barely got through 1/3 of the exhibits! I think this is a must-see, one of the best museums I’ve ever been to.
Also, most of the exhibits have English translations as well!
Wilson Tsang — Google review
A great museum, large site and much to see. Clearly had some real thought put into the design and layout, including some outside spaces you can walk through which was lovely and shielded the view of the road which was nice.
The price is very reasonable at 85 pesos per person and they take card which is useful (national museum of art only took cash and charges c20% more if using US dollars)
Bag storage area if you’re carrying a rucksack which is well organised, and mandatory - you can keep small bags but not rucksacks around nor water bottles.
Really enjoyed this and spent a couple of hours there, didn’t use the restaurant but is one for a break.
Would recommend getting here early, we were there for 10am opening as by the time we came out around noon there were queues to get in and a wait. We also went in a week day as we could.
There were translations into English on not all, but many sections so we were able to read quite a bit to understand the context of the pieces

This museum is absolutely gorgeous. It has a really good collection of prehispanic artifacts and shows the cultural richness of Mexico. Even if museums is not your thing, I’d still recommend going to this one. It has inside and outside exhibits. It would take you at least half a day to go through it. If you’re a nerdy type and like reading everything - then add a few hours more. A few tips: they have a nice gift shop, not very expensive with nice souvenirs. If you going to eat there, I’d opt for a cafeteria. Restaurant is expensive for Mexican measures and not good. The waiter that served us was pushy and borderline rude. The food is mediocre. So get a sandwich in the cafeteria, check out the museum and then eat something decent outside.
Maxim Ivchenko — Google review
Amazing! This museum has so many displays. We were here for three hours and did not get to see the entire museum. It is so large, beautiful and clean with much history.
There is no need to pre purchase your tickets or to even have to hire a tour guide to take you here. It sits on the Chapultepec park. We took an Uber there and it dropped us off right next to the entrance. We just went up a short flight of stairs after turning the corner. We purchased the tickets upon arrival. We had to check in our umbrella bags and water bottles. Then we proceeded to explore the museum.
Amy De Leon — Google review
The collection is rich and interesting but user experience and customer service of the museum are lacking.
-1 star for monolingual captions. In a place so tourist-centric surely all descriptions could be bilingual? At the moment only the introductory boards are. I’m writing this as a person for whom English is NOT a native language.
-1 star for digital equipment - when I visited nothing was working. It’s not a major flaw because there was still plenty to see, however for an institution like this it shows bad planning.
Overall: definitely worth visiting despite the inaccessible exhibition design.
Weronika Rafa — Google review
I'll reiterate the other thousands of reviews already posted - definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Lots of history and interesting things to see. Place is huge and will probably need half a day or more to see it all. Was here 3 hours (they were closing so had to leave) and definitely didn't get through it all. Paid at the entrance at the ticketing window with card, 95 pesos per person, no wait on a Wednesday afternoon. Bags have to be checked in at a desk near the gift shop.
Ted Kim — Google review
Other-worldly trip inside a world-class museum. Stunning collection of artifacts and history. Beautiful space with prudent Covid restrictions (at the moment). Fun to walk around on a nice day. Like most amazing museums, it would take days or more to properly appreciate it all. Fans of the Mayans and Aztecs won’t be disappointed. Bucket list stuff.

Super cool place that is very worth the visit!
The ticket is 90 Pesos ~ 6$ for an adult.
There are many interesting exhibitions, that can overwhelm even the toughest museum goers.
Kids will have fun there, but have in mind that it's a long long walk there.
Amazing exhibits, breathtaking history, worth visiting!

If you visit Mexico City, make this museum a MUST SEE! Give yourself several hours for it. We were there for 3 hours and only saw the 1st floor. This is a good way to experience and learn about the history and culture of the city you are visiting. It's fascinating and beautiful. There was no line, and tickets were very inexpensive.
Jenny G — Google review
A stunning and amazing museum with great and interesting exhibits that are bound to take up your attention for several hours. Displays were well presented and laid out. The rich and comprehensive collection well presented the different civilizations in Central America. The largest museum in Mexico and one of the best in the world. A must see in Mexico
CK Cheong — Google review
What can I add? The place is a must if you're interested in Mexican history. The exhibits are designed well, which makes you feel welcome. The description of the items is mostly in Spanish so get ready to use a translator app.
Spent about four hours here but could have easily stay longer.
Pablo Zayas — Google review
I definitely recommend visiting this museum to everyone, especially if you want to know more about Mexican history and culture. The only upsetting thing was that the second floor was almost completely closed. However, as I understand, the exposition on the second floor tells more about modern history and culture. Also, keep in mind that the museum is quite popular. During weekends there are big queues to enter. Probably, the best time to visit is Wednesday morning. And it seems that it is only possible to buy tickets with cash. I did not see card terminals. So, get 95 pesos before going to the museum.
Alina Desyatnikova — Google review
Great museum with unique artifacts but there is a lot of room for improvement. The placement of items inside each exhibit seems random and does not follow any chronological order, which makes following the story of any specific civilization unnecessarily confusing. Virtually all the descriptions are written in Spanish so get ready to use translate apps all the time and make sure to have a battery pack for your phone.
They provide an app that has some audio description in English, however, the app is not maintained well and is extremely buggy. Moreover, there is no good way to figure out which items are included and the app or how to find them aside from a couple of pre-planned tours that the app offers.
I would love to see a number displayed on each item, which then can be typed in the app to get relevant text/audio of each specific item.
With a bit more English and some work on the app this place can be incredible!

I loved this museum. Very clean, spacious, and educational. You can spend the entire day there appreciating all the displays. Most of the information plaques are only in Spanish which was a disappointment for me since I couldn't learn about those particular pieces. I recommend adding English plaques as well or a digital recorded guide system. Regardless I'm sure I'll return if I'm back in the area.
Llorito Castanares Todd — Google review
It is an amazing museum with a great collection. It was a pleasure to discover the different cultures with much information in spanish as well in english. They also have some structures of the different cultures outside. There you can take amazing photos.
It was pity that the upper floor with the additional mayan stuff was closed.
We went there on a late Friday afternoon. It has a lot of people, but it wasn't too much. For buying the tickets we had to wait about 5 minutes.
For going in you have to pay an entrance fee of 90 pesos (about 5 $). You can pay it by card. It was worth it to go there. Calculate enough time for seeing the stuff, I can recommend at least 2.5 hours. If you are interested in history, then you should go to this museum.

So much to learn!
They have amazing pieces and so much to see that it really deserves two visits.
Cannot miss the Teotihuacán exhibit, which will show you in color some of the details you would most likely miss when you visit the actual pyramids.
The room where the Aztec calendar is displayed is truly impressive.
Looking forward to coming back and learning more.

I recently visited the Anthropology Museum in Mexico City, and I must say that it was an absolutely incredible experience. Having traveled to museums worldwide, particularly those focusing on anthropology, I can confidently say that this museum stands out in a league of its own. The museum's grandeur is immediately evident, and it's incredibly well-organized and spotlessly clean, making the visit all the more enjoyable.
One aspect that truly sets the Anthropology Museum apart is the way it skillfully narrates the history and stories of this fascinating region. They employ a unique approach by blending photography with lifelike depictions of indigenous people. This creative combination, alongside authentic tools and elements from the region, immerses visitors in a realistic portrayal of the area's rich history.
To add some background, the Anthropology Museum in Mexico City is renowned worldwide for its comprehensive collection of artifacts and exhibits related to the indigenous cultures of Mexico. Established in 1964, the museum's purpose is to preserve and showcase the incredible cultural diversity of Mexico's native peoples. It's situated in Chapultepec Park, a beautiful and sprawling green space, and it's housed in an architecturally impressive building. To get there from downtown Mexico City, you can easily take a taxi or public transportation, with various bus and metro lines serving the area.
The museum's vast size means that a full exploration can take at least a day, but it's time well spent. The exhibits are not only informative but also beautifully presented, offering visitors a deep understanding of the history and culture of the region. In my opinion, the Anthropology Museum in Mexico City is a must-visit for anyone interested in the rich and diverse heritage of this part of the world.

Excellent museum, not too big not too small, you should definitely be able to see it in one day. I went on Sunday it was very crowded as I think it is free for residents of Mexico. The metro system is very interesting for some reason they will empty the train and you have to figure out how to get to your final destination.

Incredible. I would suggest to put aside at least 5 hours to visit this museum.
It's one of the few which are truly worth taking the time to explore. Each room is magical. There are small gardens to the sides of some of the rooms, walk around and enjoy👌🏻

An incredible museum! We had a tour guide who took us thru three rooms in three hours. Then we had time to ourselves. There is so much to see, I recommend doing a morning tour and then having the afternoon to explore independently. One of the best collections I've seen and the organization of the rooms and displays is outstanding. A must see!

Lovely museum that shows the anthropological history of various cultures and eras in Mesoamerica's history. The ticket is reasonably priced at 85$ pesos and the security goes by very quick. There's lots of exhibitions, but one thing you might notice is that all of the exhibitions share many similarities in the objects displayed. I myself found it boring at times walking through another clay figurine display.
Nevertheless the museum features most signs in both English and Spanish, as well as some spectacular displays that you can't miss.
Cedric — Google review
What an amazing place! This has been one of the most memorable places to visit in all of Mexico. The exhibition of 23 rooms is impressive, to say the least. Plan on spending half the day, at the very least, to see some of its gems. We had limited time and saw the exhibits in three rooms in four hours. With the exception of the Tenochtitlan room, we flew through the other rooms. There's that much to see. The Tenochtitlan room was the most impressive to me given the fact that you can see THE Aztec "calendar," which really isn't a calendar. Other pieces are just as impressive, especially if you know your history. If you only have a couple of hours, go. You can get through the Tenochtitlan room in 2 hours. It's well worth it. I will return to see more of these remarkable gems.
Alicia Romero — Google review
This is one of the prime attractions in Mexico City. The museum is huge and it’s not possible to cover it in a day or two. So good idea to first pick the sections that you would like to visit and focus on them.
The entrance is free for locals but they charge visitors. They use a casual look and see approach. If you kind of look Mexican you can go else they will wave you to the ticket booth.
The outside of the museum is a lively picnic area. They have water fountains that are used by kids to play and bathe in. Many food vendors and a small market for local items.
Parking is huge but they also run out of it and then they will not let you enter. One has to drive around to get some other paid parking.

Patrick McCann — Google review
Very well made place. Just the architecture itself is amazing!
As I said when I was there, one of the most beautiful man made things I have seen. I am not exaggerating.
Like every museum of this category, you need more than one visit to fully appreciate all the exhibition halls. There is a lot to see and it could be a little overwhelming, even for a one day visit. I mainly gave my attention to the architecture of the place and walked through some of the expositions that I wanted to visit.
Do not hesitate to visit this Museum, it's 100% worth it.

Av. P.º de la Reforma s/n, Polanco, Bosque de Chapultepec I Secc, Miguel Hidalgo, 11560 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Paseo de la Reforma is a major boulevard in Mexico City, modeled after the Champs-Elysees in Paris. The street is lined with monuments and skyscrapers, and is a short walk from the Museum of Modern Art. The park at its center is one of the largest inner city green spaces in Latin America.
Fantastic and several kilometer long tree-lined avenue, ideal to stroll any time of the day and admire its monuments, exhibits, skyscrapers, parks and manicured gardens. It is also the place where social demonstrations, protests and popular parades concentrate, and every Sunday half of it is pedestrianized for the massively popular ciclovia, a weekly local event in its own right.

If you like history and nature, the archaeological site of Malinalco is a must visit place.
The path to reach the historical monuments it is wonderful, from up there you can see the the city from above and also to admire the nature around it.
Near to the site there is also a paying parking space not very expensive and also the owners were really kind to explain to me the history of the place.

It's one of so many magic towns (pueblo magic) in the beautiful and historical México which is rich in culture. If you want to know some history from the mexicas, you will get to know it and see it in this town. It's a little far from the city but you're going to love it.

Arcos del Sitio is a gem hidden from the city noises yet it is reminiscent of an age where nature and human life must get along together. It has a wide variety of activities (horse riding, zip lining, paintball, 4x4 motorbikes, swimming, etc.), from time to time there're some special events for classic cars, air balloons and more.
There's plenty of Mexican food and dessert on the restaurant area and nearby places (cheap if you come from the city food pricing), and you can even bring your own food for the multiple grill areas the place offers (the real touch of nature, beautiful views).
Accessibility gets quite difficult because the place itself is a hill and the aqueduct isn't wide enough, the hanging bridges can be tricky, and there's a river on the bottom of the route that can be dry on spring ending or full on summer endings and there's no bridge just the fun of rock paths. Bathrooms are way to distanced, and you must not relay on then to be open all time or having toilet paper.
The place changes as the seasons, the gorgeous greens on summer ending, the golden, dry and windy feel of winter, the flower paths during rainy season (The best season, the ethereal force of nature). Perfect for landscape photography or even editorial sessions.
It's just one of those places that remains constant at giving you the feel of peace, yet there's always surprises for the upcoming returning.

Epic place .. safe and great atmosphere
Family friendly and truly stressless views .. the arches are beautiful and very walkable and so many bbq location
Inerrancy is 40 per person and 30 for car park and it’s just couple of hours from Mexico City
You can experience cable crossing and sounds of the revue surly relaxing
Btw.. there is place for camping and toilets are not bad at all as well as you can rent cabins just they are a bit dated (not sure about their prices)
Can’t recommend it enough for a lovely weekend visit

This is a beautiful place, and so full of history. You can take a little walk that loops around the arches so you see them from different angles, there are zip lines along the way if you are interested in that kind of activity. Although it’s quite far from Mexico City and the drive out is VERY rough (pot holes for days), this is truly a lovely spot. There are also some great little food spots here, easy access to bathrooms, and horse rides!

Zoo featuring animal exhibits from birds to tigers, plus restaurants, a boating lake & a playground.
Amazing zoo with a bunch of different species of animals. Plus, the animals are always being taken care of and they seem really healthy. The place is always clean and safe for kids. Also, The food is good and they have a lot of variety on their menu.
It's really cool that every single animal habitat is connected to each other, so it's really easy to reach each different species. Additionally, the independent buildings that charge you to come in are cheap, the only one that is not that worth it, is the "aquarium" because it only has infographics and not animals.
Finally, the service is always efficient and all the sellers and employees are knowledgeable and kind.
Bryan Gonzalez — Google review
A remarkable zoo. We visit a zoo when ever we can in a new city and this one has topped all the others we have seen to date. The animal activity is healthy and fun. The zoo is large and clean. We enjoyed the aquarium exhibit with the video footage showing animals in their true habitat instead of a glass water bowl. The elephants and rhinos were active and fun, the camel also. We almost witnessed the birth of a Buffalo cow but they said the process could take 14 hours.. but we saw the labor and the start. The savanna was large and the animals seemed very content.
Definitely a worthwhile day. Very enjoyable and a beautiful park

Metepec Km 7, 52200 Santa María Nativitas, Méx., Mexico
Monumental outdoor complex for Otomí cultural celebrations, built in stone & dotted with sculptures.
Overwhelming place to visit. The shear size of the site is massive. I do wish Mexico would take some of the admission fees and hire local tour guides. My brother and I were left to figure out what this place was used for. Got lost finding it so make sure you download an offline map of the area. Plenty of space for picnics, camping areas and fresh water fishing near by.
Supported the local pulque distributor. 35 pesos per adult and you get to pay for parking. The photos don't do it's justice. Be prepared to avoid the most potholes you've seen the last 5 miles.

Awe-inspiring place indeed. The sheer size, the almost alien design and the amazing views. Open from 10-3 due to COVID. Reasonable entry fee of 30 per adult,15 per child and 20 for parking. Pets are not allowed. The artesanal market had many stalls closed but all the food places were open and serving some delicious tlacoyos, quesadillas and gorditas, also coffee and atole. Plenty of vegetarian options and reasonably priced. The toilets are next to this mercado. Be prepared to climb lots of stairs. Allow for 1 to 1.5 hours atleast. The place gets quite windy and chilly, take some thick jackets! The morning is best for photo opportunities and gets crowded after noon.

Peaceful and beautiful place with gorgeous views of the Toluca Valley. Great place to escape Mexico City. This is a replica of the IX century place for religious and civic ceremonies. The Center was built in 1980 to provide a tribute to the Otomi people. This is a place of high altitude where athletes train ( over 3,000 meters ASL, around 9,800 feet ASL). A handcrafts market is located at the center, it is small, but great prices and most important original pieces of art not souvenirs imported from China.

The Cosmovitral Jardin Botanico is a remarkable botanical garden located in Plaza Garibay, featuring an array of native and exotic plant species. Originally built as a market in 1909, this building now houses 3500 sq meters of lovely gardens lit by 48 stained-glass panels designed by Tolucan artist Leopoldo Flores with the assistance of 60 artisans.
A wonderful botanical garden, harboured inside a glass covering designed by Leopoldo Flores in the early 20th century.
It has wonderful plants, clear alleyways, well maintained glasses.
If you're looking for nature and modern art together, this is the place to visit, in Toluca.
Most of the plants, as told in local fore are native to Mexico.
Quite a few even compare the beauty of the stained glass with the beauty of the plants within.

This place is full of stories and art, each section of the building comes with its own history and background story. I highly suggest getting the guided tour because the place has a lot of information to dig in that only the employees know about.
Finally, the souvenir shop its not that cheap due to the fact that the place is one of the most famous in Toluca.

Absolutely incredible. Probably one of the most beautiful places in the world. For wheelchairs, it very accessible. I don't believe you needed to climb up any steps to get in and the entire interior has wonderful flat paths. An easy drive from Mexico City.

Beautiful gardens and stained glass collections. This place has a lot of history and meaning to it so I recommend reading up on it or getting the guided tour. Inside you have multiple sections for various plants and geographic locations with native plants, ponds, bridges, fountains etc.

It was amazing to go to Cosmovitral (botanical garden). The garden has different parts like tropical, desert, japanese. With the colorful windows you can take amazing pictures. The 25 pesos were worth it.
We went there in the late afternoon (after 4pm). We could go in directly, inside they were around 20-30 other people.
The botanical garden closes at 6pm.

If you're ever in the El Centro de Toluca, Mexico area, this is a must see place. It is a botanical garden and THE BIGGEST STAINED GLASS HOUSE in the world, it absolutely lives up to it's name. There is a fee to get in, but very nominal.
However, before even getting inside, just inside the entrance you'll find an enormous Orange hued, stained glass mural, reminiscent of Captain Marvel, or a rising Phoenix. With the spring equinox, the sun hits perfectly from the outside, through the stained glass and portrays a perfect replica on the botanical garden floor. The stain glass murals might even rival that of the Sistine chapel in the way stories are portrayed, in my opinion.
Be warned though, since this is a botanical garden, it tends to be a bit humid to keep a variety of landscapes and over abundance of plants comfortable. Also, there might be the occasional "influencer" snapping photos and doing multiple runs of "live" dancing.
Anyways, I digress. It's great for families.
Parking is no bueno as we had to park across the street. This is a downtown area after all.
Highly recommend if I'm the area!

Av. Independencia 303, Centro, 50000 Toluca de Lerdo, Méx., Mexico
Forested area around a reservoir, with walking trails, fishing & boating, plus camping & cabins.
The last 3km to reach the place are on a bumpy unpaved stretch but it is worthwhile to reach such a place of beauty. One could walk all around the lake in about an hour. One has the view of the lake throughout the circuit, do not venture into the forest behind . We went on a weekday and had the place nearly to ourselves. The zipline was not functioning. There were several cabanas, fishing, camping and barbecue areas, picnic spots and toilets dotted all around. The entry fee of 30 mxn per adult,15 mxn per child was reasonable. Parking was free but appeared to be only limited space available for it. Please do not leave any trash behind!

Really cool place for outdoor activities like fishing, canoeing, having a picnic and stay at a cottage, also for hiking, to the beautiful "Bufa" cliff.
The place has a restaurant where you can eat local food.
The place has a parking lot where you can park your car securely for a cheap price.
This dam is located within a "pueblo magico", so it's a well rounded option to visit for the whole weekend.

1. Be careful of the cartsman!!!
Because we need the carts to bring the food to the grill area.
We didn't ask for the price before (Because we usually believe there are trust among people ).
After the cartsman bring the food from the parking place to grill area(Just around 150 meters), the man asked 100 PESOS for one carrito!!! It is a rip off. (Probably because we are foreigners).
2. There were at least 10 dogs(Street dogs or dogs raised by the villagers) in the grill area, begging for food, and fighting each other for food. No one is managing the place, or provide a complete barrier to avoid dogs to go insde.
3. if you just want to go there for grill from Mexico City , I highly don't recommend here. It is far (2+ hours driving) , has only ordinary scenery, dishonest cartsman and poor management.

Carretera Villa del Carbón-Toluca, Km. 4, Las Vigas, Villa del Carbón, Méx., Mexico
National park on a stratovolcano, with 2 summits, caldera lakes & day-hike trails.
By far one of my favorite places , I dont recommend visiting the beginning of the year because it's full of tourists' best days to visit during the week and it's cheaper ,
Before it used to be calm only the locals selling food now its always full. They even sell gloves, etc.
No pets allow
Recommendations : thermal or comfortable clothing, boots or shoes that leave a mark, sticks to lean on during the ascent, and have a light breakfast
Please, if you do visit , let's try to keep it clean.

It was a very nice experience to be able to hike this crater. The views from up are better than the views from the lakes. The trails and difficulties are not signalized making it necessary to plan things before going.
To access the Nevado on the weekends, you cannot drive up to the basecamp Campamento del Nevado de Toluca where the entrance to the volcano is. You need to park the car 17km before, at the entrance of the Venados Park and pay 50 Mexican pesos for a ride to the camp (and 50 to go back at the end of the day). Apparently, during the week, it’s allowed to park at the Nevado entrance. The problem about depending on their transportation is that it done in vans and the van doesn’t leave the stations until it’s full. I had to wait 45 minutes until the van I was left to where my car was parked. This is a long time after spending hours in the park hiking.

70 pesos to drive up here. The road is manageable, though rough, for a sedan.
You'll get up to about 4200m and have some incredible views! Nothing except the bathrooms were open when we went up, and there was a small charge to use them.
Worth the trip up!

What a great place! I was with a small group trip to climb the volcano highest point and it was quite an experience. The place looks untouched and it’s beautiful. We had luck that it was pretty much empty and that brings even more beauty to the place. Here it goes some tips: bring water and a lot of snacks like chocolates with you, dress with layers so you can easily adjust to the weather and a warm jacket, comfortable hiking shoes, sunscreen and sunglasses.
Helena Borges — Google review
One of the most beautiful places I've been. Nevado de Toluca is a most visit peak.
No words to explain the feeling of silence, calm, and achievement when you reach the summit.
Entrance ticket per person $50 pesos.
You can drive your car to the parking lot in the base camp from Tuesday to Friday.
Things to improve in the base camp: Restrooms please!!! But this does not change my ranking of the place as a 5 star summit.
Cosas a mejorar en el campo base cerca del estacionamiento son los baños!!! Un poco de inversión haría una gran diferencia.
Por la majestuosidad del lugar le doy 5 estrellas.

IF YOU'RE A FOREIGNER PLEASE READ THAT.
The place is beautiful and worth to go but I took the "shuttle bus" from the carpark to the top (where to lagoon hikes begin) assuming the coast of the bus is included in the price of the park ($50 MXN). The driver did ask us $1200 MXN for the trip, which is an abuse. So please ask them before to get in their car to not have a bad experience. Enjoy!

However keep in mind it is situated at 2700m above sea level, so going up and down might prove difficult if you are comimming from sea level.
However I would recommend the experience
Helio Flores — Google review
A beautiful and natural park with many animals in their habitats. You can see rabbits, camels, llamas, ostriches, zebras, hippos, longhorns, Rafa the Giraffe and many others. They do not have carnivorous animals. You can take a safari style tour to enjoy the land and you can also feed the animals if you want. They have a small restaurant and snack food area. Do not expect gourmet food since you are on a fieldtrip. I think it is wonderful for kids and adults to learn and enjoy time.

Much better than i expected. It's a great place to get out for the day especially in northern Edomex where there isn't a lot to do. Bring cash because barely anywhere in the park accepts card.
Daniel Allen — Google review
Not good, but not the worst. The park is mostly hills and the little push cars they rent out are only for 1 - 2 year olds, so bring a stroller for young kids because it's more of a hike than a normal amusement park.
The safari is terribly, horribly bumpy and you need to keep a death grip on your kids to keep them from falling off the benches.
The animals look well fed, no visible ribcages. The herbivores all seem to have babies, which is cute.
But the lions look miserable and the hippo pond is so, so tiny. The single elephant was laying down the whole time, likely lonely and depressed. Poor thing looked dead.
If they can't keep a group of elephants they should stop advertising a group of elephants. And certainly stop torturing a poor elephant with a life in solitary confinement.
Feeding giraffes is always fun for kids and the giraffes seemed happy enough. The cups of lettuce and carrots are $20 MXN each.
The sea lion show was really boring and mostly just the trainers talking, not worth it for young kids.
The dinosaur boat tour was incredibly short and they spray you with large amounts of dirty, stagnant pond water. But my kid liked it.
The food in the park was surprisingly cheap and decent.
I would never go again but my kid liked it.

Josh Dobbs — Google review
went there mid may 2022, the safari was great particularly when the safari truck take you to the middle of the "savanah", that brief moment its trully resembles the experience of real safari (i had done safari in africa before).
you can se the lion during the safari, but they place it in some kind of enclosure (not caged). in the edge of the "savanah" they have a platform where visitors get off their truck and feed the giraffes around the platform.
apart from the safari, the other atractions they have is decent given the affordable ticket price. the food options is ok and cheap, not on par with things that one normally encounter in average food court but its ok. you could spend good +/- 4 hours inside which depends on your preferences.
toilet wasnt the greatest though.

Nice park, glad I've done it but wouldn't tell others to really go.
Park needs some management review.
We had fun make no mistake. But some stuff is just off. Best example: entering the mines. Remember it's a kid park. The driver pulls off quite fast, then occassional stops to see displays of miners working, then it goes horror with huge spiders, a monstreous medusa and scorpions. Talk about straying off the path here omg hahahaha. From a jolly ride to a nightmare for kids. Get a grip guys.
Some attractions plain unsafe like the seating of the safari trucks. Then a huuuge walk off a hill and up for 4km to see a tiger pit. Luckily I didn't bring a stroller to the "kid" park. We liked the hike but what's is doing here in that world. Staff could care more, need to be redirected, no scores here.

Great spot to see the Monarch butterflies, though be prepared for a semi-difficult hike, especially if you’re not accustomed to the altitude. Alternatively you can take the horse ride up. Unfortunately the weather was too cold when I visited so the butterflies did not fly around or leave the clumps, but still cool to see! Food is also available at the small restaurant at the base.
Ant Wirjo — Google review
Weekends during the peak season are VERY, VERY, VERY crowded. There will be tour buses. You will likely wait in line to enter the sanctuary and to see the butterflies, but you will see butterflies! The local guides told me that during the week it is very quiet. The hike is step, and the altitude will make it more challenging for some, but slow and steady wins the race. I saw people of all ages and fitness levels make it to the top (eventually). Bathroom at the start of the trail for a small fee. Horses looked very calm, and riding is a good option for kids and those who are not strong walkers/hikers. No horse riding experience necessary. On warm and sunny days, the butterflies fly around. On colder days, they stay in groups in the trees to keep warm. Take binoculars, water, and wear layers. Cary out your trash, stay on the trail, and enjoy the amazing migration. Photos taken with a telephoto lens.
Tracy Kaye — Google review
A must see natural spectacle!
The location itself is about 3/4 of a mile uphill from the parking area. Horseback riding is available--which is totally recommended for the elder and folks not yet acclimated to the altitude of central mexico.
Unfortunately and due to human development in all of north america, year-after-year the population of Monarch Butterflies keeps declining. Thus, please be mindful of this phenomenon during your visit by keeping quiet and minimizing your impact on the environment.

End of trail depends on where the butterflies decide to land. So sometimes you get awesome views, other times it's terribly underwhelming. Nice hike though.
Youngmahn Moon — Google review
the butterflies deserve 5 stars and the forest is very nice BUT if they charge an entrance fee they should also spend a minimal amount of effort to mark the paths. honestly from the first intersection you have no idea where you go because there is absolutely no marking. the guides are apparently for free but after ours realized we don't speak much Spanish he decided to send us alone which was fine for us but you can get so lost up there. please add some waymarkers! the hiking is wonderful though
Adrian Bader — Google review
BE WARNED: This hike is straight up for over an hour! It’s also very high altitude (over 10,000ft, I believe) So, you must be in amazing physical shape. I WISH someone would have told me because I definitely would have opted for the horse!
You have to take a guide, but I would say they aren’t really “Guides” - just more leading the way and making sure everyone stays together, so not much information was given or interesting stops along the way …and ours only spoke Spanish. (which was fine, I’m just giving the information)
Finally, the last 15 minutes is VERY steep and treacherous - some of our group members took some spills, so only 1/2 the group actually made it to the top.
At the end, we were told that the best time to come is in December, lol.
We went in early February, which I read was the best time to go and assumed we would be engulfed in butterflies, but really, there was just some flying around and some on a tree. Not sure if it was just the wrong time of year, climate change or what, but honestly, I wouldn’t say it was worth it unless you just want the exercise.
Anyway, Overall take-a-way:
Only go if you LOVE uphill hikes and are used to the altitude …and if not, for the love of god- TAKE THE HORSE!
Mindy Jones — Google review
We took horses up, which is worth it and recommended. The only negative was we waited in line at the top walking trail for over an hour. There had to be 200-300 people in line slowly moving up the trail to the one point where there are the most butterflies.
Brett Hubner — Google review
It’s definitely worth the journey for this breath taking experience. I highly recommend the horses (hiking still necessary but decreases the time of the entire journey significantly). Trails are slippery in some sections but hiking shoes aren’t necessary. It can be quite busy but many opportunities exist for photos and videos. Cell reception essentially non-existent but live in the moment (and remain silent). Bathrooms have small fee.
billy stewart — Google review
Seeing the butterflies was fantastic. However, it requires an hour long hike almost straight uphill on an incredibly dusty trail. You need to decide whether seeing the butterflies is worth the climb under those conditions. It was also very crowded on the trail.
Ken H — Google review
I visited Monarca mariposa 🦋 on 27 Feb and I got the tour group from Facebook Vaijas group. First of all if you have less stamina then I would say hire a horse as it’s steep slope over mountain. And when you reach at top you will see beautiful butterflies as per video below. Journey is vey beautiful as well. Please note there is no water, washroom, eatable options available in mountain journey so take everything from ground only. Horse cost 300 pesos one side. You can bargain may be. It is dusty so I would say take a mask or cloth to cover mouth. Overall it’s worth experience so be prepared and visit it
seema — Google review
A unique experience. Viewing monarch butterflies at the top of a mountain right before their Spring migration is a once in a lifetime experience. We went midweek accompanied by both our guide from Mexico City and a local guide. The first two thirds of the trail is easy to moderate through the woods. Very few other hikers perhaps a couple of dozen folks on horseback. All the way up the departing horseback riders appeared unhappy and even angry. The horses can go only so far and at some point you have to dismount and walk up the mountain. The butterflies move around from year to year and it was clear prodigious efforts had been made to lay down vertical trails up the mountain to get you as close as possible. Those trails are rough hewn, rocky and very dry and dusty approaching 45 in ascent. The Sierra Club would rate those ascent trails very difficult and strenuous. Coming down is a real challenge. Laying those trails down anew each year to get you as close to the butterflies as possible cannot be easy. Not for the faint of heart or inexperienced hiker. I cannot say enough about the local guides and the help they provided me in getting back to the trailhead. Mexico is to be applauded for these types of conservation efforts.

There is a much shorter route that is well marked with signs, but take the suggested route from Google Maps in at least one direction. The views along the winding mountain road are spectacular. The mine museum is very interesting, with fascinating documents, machinery and mineral specimens. The murals and art are especially arresting. Photos/videos are not allowed inside the exhibits or the mine itself. Guided tours are required and are conducted in Spanish, so do some reading before you go if your Spanish is not good.

The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is an extensive forested mountainous region located in the easternmost part of Michoacan, Mexico. Covering approximately 563 sq km, it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2008. This area is home to millions of monarch butterflies that migrate from as far as the Great Lakes region and Canada each autumn, arriving between late October and early November for hibernation during winter months.
We had such a wonderful visit! The millions of butterflies!! I didn't realize how many stairs there were to get up to the top. I should've gone by horse but my daughter didn't want too. We had a great visit and memories for a lifetime.

This is a truly magical and sacred space. We had an amazing experience, the butterflies were everywhere even before we got to the reserve. We arrived around 11am, had a quick bite before going inside. The quesadilla was delicious with a homemade blue corn tortilla. The paring attendant kept an eye on our dog inside the car. Once inside we opted to use a local guide and hike up. The hike was more of a walk, but be aware you’ll be going over 10,000 feet. The air is much thinner than sea level.
Our guide did a great job explaining the whole lifestyle of the monarch and did it in basic Spanish so we could understand.
We were there yesterday (2 March) and the butterflies were swarming and even mating. I’d definitely recommend this place to visit. It only took us about an hour total to hike up, see the butterflies at the top and hike down.

Be sure to go on a sunny day. Park in the top parking lot nearest to the horses. We didn't know and parked at the bottom. It's a very steep climb and a long way up. My daughter went ahead and sent a kind man with the horse down to get me. The ride was amazing and beautiful. Everything smells like pine trees and wood smoke. Then you leave the horses and hike uphill some more. It's very high so I needed a guide to help me hike. And I stopped to catch my breath often. When I got to where we could see the butterflies, I yelled out " Wow!" And everyone went " Shhhh!". It's a sacred place. Like an outdoor cathedral. We went to the closest viewing area. Butterflies were everywhere. Them they moved

Sadly, the butterflies haven’t arrived yet. We tried to go today (11/5) but the men working there said that they haven’t arrived yet (usually they are here by now). They said that we will have better luck in December/ January. There were about 20 other people who were also disappointed :(

We got there afternoon. It was a little cold. The climb was intense. The butterflies were resting on top of the tree tops most of them folded. We expected to see them in their orange color but we saw mostly gray… better to get there early on a warm day. The view would be amazing.

Its one of the natures beautiful phenomenon you will ever witness.
The moment you see the butterflies, its a jaw dropping moment.
No photo or video can capture what your eyes will witness. Neither anyone will beleive you if you tell them what you saw.
If you are planning a visit to the sanctuary consider the following things:
- Direction on google map is not correct, use any other maps to reach the location
- sanctuary is in forest area of michoacan better to reach and leave early, avoid travel during the dark
- you will need a good car and good driving experience
- you will need to pay toll before reaching the sanctuary which is about 60-100 pesos
- after paying toll you go further inside the are which is steep so good car is a must
- upon reaching the location you will get multiple options for parking, be careful as i noticed few kids trying to steal car logos
- you will also see hotels and bathrooms
- make your way towards the sanctuary and you will need to buy tickets 80 for adults and 50 kids above 5 yrs
- you will have two options to reach the location which is by trek or by horse ride
- trek is moderate and will take about 60-90 mins
- horse ride will cost you 150 pesos for one way ride
- upon reaching the location you will have to go inside the forest where the directions are marked and many forest rangers are there to help you out.
- it will take about 10-15 mins of walk to reach nesting area of butterflies
- its important you dont litter and maintain silence
- you will stay there for about 30-45 mins and then your way back down
Its a must visit place before climate change eliminates this experience.

The most magical experience in the world. The walk is a bit long but quite bearable and definitely worth it. The forest is amazing and the views are breathtaking. But absolutely no words can describe the beauty of the sanctuary and the greatness of the place

It's a hard hike so bring trekking boots and poles. Don't forget water and day snacks.
It will take you around 3 to 4 hours to make it to the butterflies.
I highly recommend renting a horse, but keep in mind that is a hard ride up and even harder to go down. You have to leave the horse and do a 30 minute hike up to the butterflies. Once you are there you must be quiet and sit down. It’s a magical experience. I absolutely recommend it.

Nice place to visit, and of course you need to visit during the winter. The temperatures in December are about 30°F at night and 55°F during the day. The best time of the day to visit the sanctuary is 12:00 noon, we went to "Sierra Chincua" near Angangeo. The entrance fee is cheap, $30 pesos per person if I remember. As you enter you are assigned a guide, a little boy or girl, at the end you give them a tip. They suggest you to rent a horse to go to the sanctuary, they charge you $100 pesos per person each way. The way up is doable taking a few breaks, the way back is really easy. If you don't have good condition you can rent a horse on your way up, but for sure you don't need it in your way back. There are like 12 small restaurants in the area, all are the same, they are local and they prepare local food, cheap and delicious, you need to try it. Hope you enjoy your visit.
The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is an extensive forested mountainous region located in the easternmost part of Michoacan, Mexico. Covering approximately 563 sq km, it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2008. This area is home to millions of monarch butterflies that migrate from as far as the Great Lakes region and Canada each autumn, arriving between late October and early November for hibernation during winter months.
We had such a wonderful visit! The millions of butterflies!! I didn't realize how many stairs there were to get up to the top. I should've gone by horse but my daughter didn't want too. We had a great visit and memories for a lifetime.

The water is beautiful and the food from the little "puestos" is delicious. My family and I went a couple of years ago and this year there were a lot of things that had changed. There were much less artisanal vendors and people selling food. It's still a really nice place to swim and walk. You could also listen to mariachi and small norteño music groups. If you want to listen to a particular song you have to pay them of course. The nicest bathrooms are closest to the entrance. Remember to take cash in order to buy anything and 5 pesos coins in order to use the restroom.

Great getaway spot to refresh on a hot day. Definitely enjoyed the activities, swimming and taking a little boat around the lake.
Jaime Perez — Google review
If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would!
I love this lake! It is so beautiful and peaceful.
I love to just look at the trees or just sit and watch the water.
The Mexican government is upgrading the sidewalks, restrooms, and some of the buildings around the lake, as it is a National Park.
Also, when you enter the park, you may want to drop off elderly family members or moms with strollers before you head up the hill to the parking lot. The walk down after you park your vehicle is dusty and steep in places.
It can get very busy during holiday seasons and weekends.
There is swimming and boating allowed, you can also rent a boat and a guide to take you around the lake.
You can bring a picnic lunch or buy food from one of the restaurants. There are also artisans that sell hats and souvenirs.
If you are visiting the state of Michoacán or just a nature lover, I highly recommend that you spend a few hours here. The beautiful old trees and the amazing color of the water make for impressive photos.

Beautiful Park, the water is so clear and if you love nature is the best
Francisco Howell Rose — Google review
So we initially planned on just enjoying the few and only a few of us had swimsuits.
However by the middle of our trip the water was so inviting we all went in!!!
Luckily they have shops inside near the lake and they have floaters, swimsuits and snacks for sale.
We ended up all having a blast in the water! It is a Mexican Natural beauty
The sad part was we ran out of time to go on the boats that take you to the island, but we did rent a bike for four people and we road that around the lake! And that was very fun !

About 1 hr and half drive from Cojumatlan de Regules, Mich,Mex.
When you enter it doesn't look like much is there just land of farms and open beautiful land.
As you enter and pass the farmlands you'll notice a hotel on the right with its own water park. Looks pretty cool actually.
You have to pay to park. It's per person per vehicle. But it also gives you access to the park and I believe kids under certain age aren't charged.
Plenty full of parking at least on a weekday we went.
There are restaurant before entering the park and souvenirs stores.
The entrance to the park was spectacular for myself. I love scenery and nature and its was just a humbling and beautiful experience of what's to come.
The park was magnificent. The types of trees, lake water was crystal clear for the most part. The people thete

Ornate Roman Catholic cathedral featuring a Gothic Revival design & towering spires.
This place is so beautiful and just amazing. It truly makes you feel small in the best possible way. My only complaint was, we went on a Sunday and it was closed all day, it opened at 5pm for mass so we didn't get a chance to really see it and admire it

A unique little church tucked away in the middle of this Rancho. Very appealing to the eye as it's beauty lies within the parishioners. As I tour through different places in Mexico the first place I go is to the church. It defines the city or town and this church says the town is poor but it people are rich in spirit and quality of life. Religion is big here and that's what makes this town so beautiful. They may not have much but what they have they are willing to share. This is a place that will greet you with open arms.
