Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
Walk to the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Position yourself where the setting sun hits the front of the large, modern church. The sun sets toward the WSW, illuminating the structure beautifully.
18:42
Head to Rufino Tamayo Park to let the light fade. The park is a 34-minute walk from the Basilica (WSW direction). It is a great place for an evening stroll among the rolling hills and shady patches as the city lights begin to turn on.
