O Paseo La Reforma is an important avenue with more than 12 kilometers long in Mexico City. Starts at Plinth – the heart of the metropolis -, passes by the trendy Pink Zone and ends in Chapultepec Forest. A good chance to get to know another side of the city is to visit this region.
In these last few kilometers, the Paseo transforms into a modern area, with large skyscrapers and wide sidewalks. A delicious place to hang out without commitment or rush.
One of its most important monuments is the The Angel of Independence, or just El Ángel, built in 1910 to commemorate the centenary of the Mexican War of Independence. Years later, it would house the remains of the heroes of the battle.
At the end of Paseo La Reforma is one of the main green areas in Mexico City, the Chapultepec Forest, the second largest urban park in Latin America. The contrast between nature and the large buildings in the neighborhood draws attention.
The park houses important attractions, such as the Chapultepec Zooo National Museum of Anthropology and the Chapultepec Castleat the top of the hill of the same name, from where you have a beautiful view of Mexico City.
