We visited the Botanical Garden at UNAM a few weeks ago when we were visiting the UNAM campus. The…read moregarden was founded in 1959, and it's intended to represent Mexico's plant diversity. To that end, it has several different areas. Since the garden is free to visit, we just stopped by for a quick visit. Since we didn't have much time, we just wandered around for a bit. We saw an amazing variety of agave and cacti. I definitely would have wandered for longer if I could have. The parking was a bit confusing. There was a parking lot, but the gate didn't let open to let us in. We parked on the street near the gate, but we weren't sure it was legal parking. Worth a visit if you're in the area, but I wouldn't suggest you necessarily go out of your way if your visit to CDMX is a short one!

Worth a look for sure. It's a bit out of the way and we had trouble getting an Uber to pick us up…read morebut otherwise it was great. The website claims they close at 3 on Saturdays but that seems to just be the little shop inside and the greenhouses. There are lots of little paths to wander and an enormous amount of cacti. Some of the paths aren't well marked and can be steep/rocky.

This place is near my house, so I used as my backyard to take out my dogs, jogging, lecture place,…read morerelaxation place. Is quite a nice place, up in the hill that changes a little bit the weather, in the week days is almost always empty (there is security tho), you can go to take a lone walk so you can be with yourself and your thoughts. Also you can take your chick for a romantic walk late in the evening. I love to take my dogs (A couple of awesome huskies) for a walk ok week days because I can to let them leashless to play because there will be no (not always) other dogs. On weekends is also nice, but a little bit more crowd tho.

They have a small greenhouse and a large area under the fruit trees where you can sit on a blanket (people were picnicking there), as well as benches under the thicker trees in the shade on the other side of the garden. The entrance I came in through was on the bosque castle side, and I went out the exit on the other side where the museum of modern art is. I was able to walk down that way easily to get to Polanco. I was a solo traveler and I love gardens so I had a very lovely time walking through and looking at the plants here.

Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking all at once. Definitely a must see for all visitors. The…read moreentire walk is lovely and so much to see. Also, so much to see and do once you're done seeing the Botanico. This will be for sure something to do be sure to add to your to-do-list.

This was such an amazing find. We were finishing up our Eat Mexico street food tour, and we had…read morebeen visiting with our tour guide, Sofia. When she heard my husband had been a professional organic farmer and gardener, and our tour was ending just across the street, she sent us here. We were amazed to find this amazing urban collective in the middle of Roma. The giant tower you see in my pictures if made of water bottles. There are numerous yurts, pavilions, fire pits, rain collection systems, gardens, and so so much more throughout the large area. When we were there, in the late afternoon, a group of people were building a large pavilion, a few college age folks presided over a small group of school age children, a preschool age group was just finishing up, and people were beginning to arrive for a composting class. It was amazing to learn a little bit about the story of the place, the area purchased by local residents after it had been turned into a dump after the earthquake in 1985. They restored the area and made it what they wanted, an amazing area in the very heart of CDMX. It was also so cool that we could just wander in, walk around, and no one minded or cared. Everyone seemed to be happy, pleasant, and working toward some cool project. It seemed very utopian and I'm sure that's what they are going for. Thanks for letting us come in and check it out.
