WALKING TOUR CERRO DE LA ESTRELLA ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE & NATIONAL PARK – MEX CITY, Sat, Feb 10, 20...

Join us on a fascinating journey to the Cerro de La Estrella archeological site and national park, located in the southern part of Mexico City. This hidden gem is one of the six archeological sites in the city and offers breathtaking views of Mexico City from the top of an extinct volcano. Prepare for an unforgettable hike through this beautiful national park.

Originally designated in 1938 with 1,100 hectares, Cerro de la Estrella has unfortunately been encroached upon by the city's growth, leaving it with less than 200 hectares. The site derives its name from the colonial-period Hacienda de la Estrella, which was situated on the hill's slopes.

Immerse yourself in the rich Azteca culture as you explore this archeological site, which dates back to the period of 900 – 1521. The slopes of the hill have been inhabited since ancient times, and the site gained significance as the location for the New Fire ceremonies, believed to renew the sun at the end of each cycle. While the celebration was held four times, the fall of Tenochtitlan prevented the fifth event.
