Walk 39 minutes WNW to Parque Hundido. This large urban greenspace is popular with families, but by late afternoon the energy settles. Admire the 50 reproductions of pre-Hispanic sculptures, including the large Olmec head, as the sky begins to turn.

Stay in Parque Hundido to watch the sunset. The park’s open spaces offer a clear view of the sky darkening over the city.

Head to Fonda Margarita, just a short walk away in Parque Hundido. It is one of the most popular breakfast restaurants in Mexico City, known for home-style Mexican dishes. Arrive early to secure a table before the evening rush.
