Cuajimalpa

Cuajimalpa sits at an elevation of 2,750 meters in the Sierra de las Cruces mountains, featuring deep canyons and volcanic formations throughout its territory.

The name originates from Nahuatl term Cuauhximalpan, meaning place of sawmills, and received the addition of Morelos in 1970 to honor the independence hero.

The Parish of San Pedro remains the central religious structure in the district, organizing religious events that gather millions of participants each year.

The district implements an extensive network of 80,600 surveillance cameras to maintain public safety, complemented by frequent police patrols in residential areas.

Within its boundaries lies the Desierto de los Leones National Park, which contains the first monastery established by Carmelite monks in Mexico during the 1600s.
