Bosque De Chapultepec

Lonely Planet review

The second section of the Bosque de Chapultepec lies west of the Periférico. In addition to family attractions, there is a pair of upscale lake-view restaurants on the Lago Mayor and the Lago Menor.

About 200m west of the Papalote, turn right to reach the Fuente de Tláloc, an oval pool containing a huge mosaic-skinned sculpture of the rain god by Diego Rivera. There's more Rivera art inside the Chapultepec waterworks, housed in a pavilion behind the fountain . To the north is the beautiful Fuente de Xochipilli, dedicated to the Aztec 'flower prince,' with terraced fountains around a talud tablero-style pyramid (a steep building style typical of Teotihuacán).
