An area of Sullivan Park where local artists gather to exhibit and sell their works.

We've been to Jardines des Artes 3 times now. Various artists display paintings and sculptures. Eclectic and varying abilities. Some are established artists, some are students, and some are amateurs who dabble in art. It's a fun vibrant atmosphere and we usually buy something to bring home.

An expansive, working garden (nursery site for trees and plants) hosted by SEMERNAT environment secretary. Loads of paths and interesting trees, some with identification signs. Plenty of open space for social distancing. Remarkable, lovely cactus garden - great for kids and adults. 2km running track is well used but in good shape. Get fresh coconut milk or fruit from the vendors at the gate. Lots and lots of squirrels.

Lovely environment abutting my hotel. Green space is well lit at night making it a nocturnal place for dog walkers, joggers and those that sit holding hands. There’s a bike path, reflecting pools, aviary and art installations. I criss- crossed it many times for its peaceful demeanour and pleasantness. The clock tower has a mini art gallery. Plenty of eateries within stone-throw distance

There are also many attractions, museums, zoo, park, castle, more museums, viewpoints, etc. etc. I recommend you go to Chapultepec Castle to the rhythm of each one, you can easily be up in half an hour, without much effort. The views towards reform are the best of the forest. The small museum inside the castle serves as a context for its construction and function that it has had in the history of Mexico. Do not stop visiting the site and return as many times as necessary.

Yes, Xochimilco is Pet Friendly! It is a UNESCO World Heritage site which dates back to before the Spanish Conquistadors came to Mexico. Xochimilco is what’s left of the old network of waterway canals from which Mexico City was built. It is about one-hour south of Mexico City. There are many ports (embarcadero) from which to catch a boat (trajinera). We wanted Embarcadero Nuevo Nativitas because it was less crowded and no vendors pestering you to take their boat. When we first walked in to the Embarcadero Nuevo Nativitas area there was a big sign stating the price per hour for all boats. $500 pesos per hour (no matter how many people). Transparency! I liked that. I recommend taking a two-hour tour. Just the right amount of time to relax and enjoy. This tour also offers a replica of the famous “doll island” to float by. Note: If you are driving on your own (no tour company) once you enter the town of Xochimilco you will be surrounded by motorcycles trying to get you to go to their pier and take their boat. We just ignored them and went to Embarcadero Nuevo Nativitas. We went during a weekday. It was very peaceful. Nice and relaxing to float by the houses, plant and vegetable nurseries scattered along the edges of the canals. We saw and heard the other boats with mariachi and marimba musicians playing music. Other boats sold food. We bought some elote (Mexican corn) and traditional Xochimilco cookies. All delicious!
