The most striking addition to Mexico City’s transit landscape is its network of cable car lines, known as Cablebús. A three-year-old aerial cable car system is transforming Mexico City’s transportation network and making the trip into the central city faster and easier.

The aerial transport system in Mexico City isn’t moving people to popular tourist destinations like Zocalo Square or Bellas Artes Palace. Instead, the gondolas’ primary purpose is to transport people from isolated working-class neighborhoods to other transportation systems, such as the subway, which connect them to work, school, hospitals, and other necessities.

This is one of the oldest urban parks in the world, and the largest in Latin America. Thanks to its sheer size, Chapultepec Park in Mexico City is home to many attractions, including gardens, museums, squares, monumental fountains, art galleries, and even a castle that was once a Royal residence.
We wanted to visit the castle, but due to similar security issues, we ended up going for a walk in the park instead!
