16:48
Pick up a quick bite or drink at Liberty Market. It is busy and enclosed, but the variety is vast and it is open late enough for your timeline. Note that this spot is near Plaza de los Mariachis, so allow for the walk from the park.
17:18
Head to Blue Water Park. The 1.5 km walk from the Centro Histórico is walkable and offers a break from the dusty city environment. Arrive early to find a spot near the aviary or butterfly enclosure before the crowds settle in for the concert area.
18:33
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, offering a clear view from the open areas of the park. The golden light begins at 18:01, painting the greenery and the paleontology museum in warm tones.
Local tip
Blue Water Park is open Tu-Su 10:00-18:00. Since sunset is at 18:33, ensure you enter before closing time if you wish to stay inside for the full golden hour and sunset view, or enjoy the grounds just outside the gates as it closes.
Check before you go
- Blue Water Park hours are Tu-Su 10:00-18:00. Sunset is at 18:33, so plan to be inside or immediately adjacent to the park grounds by 18:00 to catch the golden light and sunset without being locked out.
