On my first morning in Mexico City, I strolled around Roma Sur and had a fabulous pastry. I had nothing planned for the afternoon so I decided to head towards Bosque de Chapultepec and Castillo de Chapultepec. Here are the views that caught my attention as a travel photographer.
The road to reach the Castillo from the Bosque was quite long and steep and I had to catch my breath and I reached the top. Fortunately, there was this nice jacaranda tree in full bloom.

A local told me this place had the best unobstructed views of the city and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

It’s hard to capture how dense CDMX is but here you can have an idea. This density goes on for miles and miles.

Voluptuous interior at the Castillo.
