Bosque de Chapultepec

"The capital of Mexico, famous for its rich history, vibrant culture, and numerous museums."

"A vibrant city known for its rich history, cultural landmarks, and bustling atmosphere. Ideal for a party-filled destination wedding."

"New York has Central Park, London has Hyde Park, and Mexico City has Chapultepec Park, a 1,700-acre plus space home to museums, botanical gardens, a large lake, and a zoo. There is something for everyone here and it really is worth a visit, even if just for the museums. But be sure to check out special offerings like the nighttime picnics at the botanical gardens or the cinema on the lake, the latter of which has you watching films from the comfort of a pedal boat." - Susannah Rigg, Scarlett Lindeman

"From weaving through a churro line at the always-packed Churrería El Moro to shopping for artisanal wares inside the densely-populated El Bazaar Sábado to strolling through parks like Parque Mexico and Chapultepec."

"The Chapultepec Butterfly Garden houses thousands of butterflies that fly freely through the space, much to the delight of visitors. A trip to this part of the zoo consists of two parts: a building displaying butterfly specimens and the actual insectarium. While inside the butterfly garden, you’ll see an incubator full of cocoons. So many insects hatch here that every hour, the zoo holds a special event where each visitor can release a butterfly. A Nahuas legend says that if you make a wish on a butterfly on its first flight, your wish will come true. The best thing about this place is that the butterflies are so used to humans that it is possible to get within inches of them to admire their details—though you should not touch them. The insects will flutter above people with total impunity. Types of butterflies you can expect to see include monarch butterflies, owl butterflies, the Julia butterfly (the species known to quench their thirst with turtle tears), and Andean blues." - ATLAS_OBSCURA
