Escape the urban bustle at Tepozteco and Bosque de Chapultepec. Take a break from Mexico City with a short trip to Playa La Virgen in Tequesquitengo, about 1h 50 min away. The adventure continues: learn more about the world around you at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, wander the streets of Polanco, explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and visit La Condesa.
