Cumbres del Ajusco National Park, National park in southern Mexico City, Mexico

The protected area spans 920 hectares of wooded terrain within the Sierra de Ajusco-Chichinauhtzin mountain range, reaching elevations up to 3,930 meters.

The Mexican government designated this mountainous region as a national park on September 23, 1936 to safeguard its natural resources and water sources.

The park territory contains archaeological remains of ancient settlements, including the Tecpan pyramid that reflects pre-Hispanic occupation of these mountains.

Visitors can access multiple trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, with the November to March period offering the most favorable conditions.

During winter months, this park becomes one of the few locations in Mexico City that receives substantial snowfall, transforming its pine forests.
