Parque Nacional Cumbres del Ajusco

Cilimb the city's highest peak

For a breath of fresh air, hike up to Mexico City’s highest peak, a 12,916-foot (3,936-meter) extinct lava dome volcano known as Pico del Águila (the trailhead is near the Albergue Alpino Ajusco).

You’ll find a slew of options for hiking and biking in the crisp Ajusco mountains, including numerous trails in Parque Ejidal San Nicolas Totolapan, a vast eco-park with affordable cabin rentals.

For lunch, drop by the open-air Guarida del Conejo and warm up with spicy mushroom soup amid fragrant pines.
