Behind me a lake in the middle of town . Like central park in New York City but bigger and more beautiful. Mexico City Chapultepec.
My boyfriend and I ran 12km around the lake. We sweat a lot and ended up tired.
“Construir castillos con terrazas ajardinadas”, fue la definición de felicidad que Maximiliano expresó en alguna ocasión. Profundo conocedor de la arquitectura y la jardinería palaciegas de su época, y aficionado a la botánica, en la terraza del Castillo encontró un sitio para hacer realidad su sueño. Alrededor de este jardín íntimo, bordeado por corredores con techos ligeros sostenidos sobre delgadas columnas de hierro, Maximiliano escuchaba y dictaba su correspondencia. Al igual que en los palacios europeos de la época, el jardín interior se integraba visualmente a un parque exterior, aquí el bosque de Chapultepec.

Castillo de Chapultepec, built by the Viceroy Bernardo de Galvez in 1785. Many newer additions were added by Emperor Maximilian in 1865-1866.
El Castillo was the last position captured by the U.S. army in it's invasion of Mexico City in 1847. This battle is known as the Battle of Chapultepec, September 12-13, 1847.
The Chapultepec Castle is located in the Bosque de Chapultepec, a massive park located in Mexico City DF. It is 1600 acres (6 sq km) in size and is a major tourist attraction in the city. In the early 13th century the Aztecs first arrived in what is now Mexico City (Valle de Mexico). Living temporarily in the area of the current park, they named it Chapultepec, which means 'grasshopper hill' in the Aztec language, Nahuatl. The Spanish follwed in 1521 taking control of the entire valley and declaring the area of Chapultepec to be a protected for the good of the population.
Located within the park are Chapultepec Zoo (Zoologico de Chapultepec), Auditorio Nacional, an amusement park called La Feria, the modern art museum (Museo de Arte Moderno) and contemporary art museum (Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Internacional Rufino Tamayo), and Mexico's world famous Anthroplogy Museum (Museo Nacional de Antropologia e Historia).
The park is within easy walking distance from the neighbouring districts of Polanco, Insurgentes, and Zona Rosa. There are three Metro (subway) stations adjacent to the park (Auditorio, Constituyentes, and Chapultepec). It is a very large park and walking between the different attractions will take longer than expected.
