Tower sights in Mexico City

  1. A

    Torre Latinoamericana

    The Torre Latinoamericana was Latin America’s tallest building when constructed in 1956. (It’s Mexico City’s fifth-tallest tower today.) Thanks to the deep-seated pylons that anchor the building, it has withstood several major earthquakes. Views from the 44th-floor observation deck and the 41st-floor lounge bar are spectacular, smog permitting.

  2. B

    Torre Mayor

    The Torre Mayor stands like a sentinel before the gate to Bosque de Chapultepec. The green-glass tower soars 225m above the capital, making it Latin America’s tallest building. The earthquake- resistant structure is anchored below by 98 seismic shock absorbers.
