Just like any large park, Chapultepec also has a lake. To get there, simply follow the main path from the large white monument at the entrance and you’ll be there in about 10 to 15 minutes. The path to the lake – at least the frontal main path – is lined with stalls selling tourist stuff as well as snacks, ice cream, soft drinks and water.
The lake itself is not necessarily quiet, but it is relaxed and you can sit down and enjoy the view. Especially as there is a ‘CDMX’ sign in front of the lake and a skyscraper skyline looms in the background. You can also go pedal boating on the lake itself.
Go or not? I don’t think the view of the lake is suuuuper great, but if you’re already there and exploring Chapultepec, you can also just take it with you. It’s not far and it’s a really good place to relax and probably also sit down for a while.
