Bosque de Chapultepec in Mexico City

Bosque de Chapultepec is an immense Mexico City park—one of the largest in the entire Western Hemisphere—packed full of green space and historic sites to enjoy. It covers 1,695 acres of space, which is just over double the size of Central Park in New York City.

Feel free to bring everyone along to this park, as there's fun for the whole family. Organised into 3 sections, this park offers relaxation and opportunities to get active in equal measure. Most visitors stay for about 3 or 4 hours, but it'll take you the entire day to explore everything the park has to offer.
