Capilla Del Pocito

Reviewed By N2362DGgaryc - Carolina, Caribbean

The Temple del Pocito is on the grounds of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This building house the well that used to be on the grounds that had the medicinal water in it!!! It has a gorgeous inside but it also is sinking and the building now is in need of structural engineers to come up with a solution to its sinking. They now have steel bands around part of the building and are also trying to shore up its foundation. Just another lovely building on the grounds!!! Simply outstanding!!!!!!!!

Los Pinos

Reviewed By soleyboy1 - Port Washington, United States

Nestled in beautiful gardens known as Los Pinos and close to world famous Chapultepec Park, is the official residence of the Presidents of Mexico. The Palacio and other adjacent buildings are now open to the public until at least 2024 as the current president has chosen not to reside there. It is a true Mexican experience and should rank high as a non touristy thing to do in Mezico City
