Cerro de la Estrella National Park

Cerro de la Estrella National Park

Located in the Iztapalapa district, this national park is centered around a volcanic hill. Travelers visit the site to use its hiking trails and access a vantage point away from the dense urban environment of Mexico City.

Getting There

The park is situated in the eastern part of the city. From the city center, the most common way to reach the area is via taxi or ride-sharing services, which typically takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

Duration of Visit

Allow approximately 3 to 5 hours to explore the park. This provides enough time to hike up the hill, reach the summit, and return to the entrance.

When to Visit

Morning visits are recommended to avoid the midday heat. The park is generally less crowded on weekdays. During local festivals or specific cultural events, the area can become very crowded.

Nearby attractions that can be combined with a visit include:
  • Anahuacalli Museum (6.2km)
  • Isla de las Muñecas (7.7km)
  • Frida Kahlo Museum (7.8km)
