OR CENTURIES AN EXCLUSIVE RETREAT
for the leaders of ancient Mexico,
Bosque de Chapultepec was turned into a public park by President Lázaro
Cárdenas in the 1930s. Today, it seems, almost everyone in the city heads to
the park on weekends to enjoy the lakes, woods, zoo, and museums. Vendors
lining the pathways contribute to the festive air. Just north of the park,
Polanco is home to many of the city's wealthiest residents. It also has high-
end stores, fine restaurants, pleasant cafés, and boutique shops.
