A large uncrowded pine and oak forest on the southern edge of CDMX — feels like a genuine escape from the city. Entrance free; trails ranging from easy 1km loops to 5km routes for older kids. The forest altitude (~2,400m) means temperatures are noticeably cooler than the city center — bring a light jacket for morning visits. Leashed dogs welcome; picnic areas plentiful; free weekday parking.
