Bosque de Tlalpan

Bosque de Tlalpan is a large protected nature reserve in Tlalpan district, Mexico City, with dense forests and extensive trail networks. The area supports diverse plant and animal species and provides space for walking and cycling through woodland surroundings.

The forest area is a remnant of the original woodlands that once covered the region before Mexico City's urban expansion. It survived decades of growth and was later protected to preserve one of the few remaining natural areas in the city.

The Ollin Yoliztli cultural center within the reserve hosts performances and exhibitions featuring Mexican artistic traditions and contemporary works. Visitors experience traditional music, theater, and visual arts that connect to the broader cultural life of the city.

The reserve has multiple entrances connected to public transportation with dedicated parking areas available. Clear signage marks walking and cycling paths, and early morning and late afternoon visits offer the best conditions for exploring the trails comfortably.

The Torre de los Vientos is an environmental art installation by artist Gonzalo Fonseca that blends architectural elements with the surrounding forest. This unusual combination of art and nature shows how creative works can be woven into the woodland setting without disrupting the natural landscape.
