Here we recommend some of the best places to enjoy a day out of the ordinary, so hop on your bike and ride through this vibrant metropolis.
Floating Causeway
The first site on the list is the Calzada Flotante; this impressive pedestrian bridge is in the Chapultepec: Nature and Culture project, which begins at the Molino del Rey and extends to the Avenida de los Compositores.
The Calzada Flotante is more than a bridge; it is a sustainable facility that respects the area’s ecosystem, unifies the forest’s four sections, and improves access to all its attractions.
And as you pedal through Chapultepec Forest, you’ll see beautiful monuments, tranquil lakes, and a variety of museums to explore. One recently opened museum is the new Amphibium, a museum and conservation center for the salamander. Among Mexico’s extraordinary endemic fauna is the endangered salamander, an endangered species that has always been sought to be cared for. This museum has the task of protecting but also sharing the knowledge of these “water monsters” and their meaning from the Nahuatl axolotl.
The Chapultepec Forest, 100 years after its creation, continues to modernize to offer visitors more attractions and better experiences. Escape to see what’s new in Chapultepec and celebrate its first century.
Paseo de la Reforma
Paseo de la Reforma is one of the iconic avenues of the city; it is a model road and tourist center. Cars, buses, tourist buses, and, of course, bicycles circulate along this avenue in a bike lane away from the other vehicles. It is one of the most emblematic places in Mexico City. It also has beautiful parks and incredible views of the city’s heart.
