Highlights
- Ajusco - The view from the summit is excellent, provided of course it is during the dry season and it is in the morning before the smog sets in. One can ask for no better vantage point to look out over the entirety of the valley. On clear days you can see Izta and Popo, Tlaloc and Telapon to the NW and on exceptionally clear days I’ve heard you can make out Nevado de Toluca to the west. The Park is home to maguey, wild roses, rare owls and rabbits and a plethora of other plants and animals. Ajusco’s slopes are dotted with scrub oak and pine forests, and the summit was sacred to the Aztec’s as it was used as a place of worship. Like most of the major volcanoes surrounding Mexico City Ajusco had a role in the daily lives of the Aztecs. Traces of an Aztec presence have been found on Ajusco that date back to the 12th and 13th century.

Memorable!! - I had a wonderful experience watching the sunrise in Ajusco when I went to Mexico City alone. The hike was nice and the view was just amazing!!! We met fellow hikers on top and got to see some cute dogs. I would recommend dressing warm and bringing a good quality camera.
