Chapultepec Park, Mexico City



A few weeks ago, we spent a Sunday morning walking around Chapultepec Park in Polanco. We had a great time, especially letting Annabelle get out and run around.

I would compare Chapultepec Park to New York City's Central Park.

Chapultepec Park is HUGE. There is an area where all the street vendors gather and try and sell you the same stuff. There is a pond/lake where you can rent paddle boats. You can walk up the hill and go to the Chapultepec Castle. There are fountains and statues of important people in Mexico's history. The zoo is within Chapultepec Park. You can take a tour of the park on a little tram.

And, there are areas away from the masses where you can take different paths and walk in the shade.

Our venture to Chapultepec Park, from the timewe left our house to the time we returned, was a little over three hours. Walking nonstop, we figure we walked about nine miles and saw no where near all of the park.

So, for all my future visitors...you better bring your walking shoes, because we'll be exploring Chapultepec Park. It's a must do in Polanco (and Mexico City).
