    Hiking

    This iconic spot, known as La Virgen del Ajusco, is located within the San Nicolás Totolapan Ejidal Park, in the area popularly known as Las Llantas. It is one of the most visited spots by mountain bikers, trail runners, and hikers in Mexico City.

    The site houses an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe carved into volcanic rock and surrounded by offerings, flowers, and banners. More than just an altar, it has become a meeting point and spiritual reference for those training or hiking in the Ajusco forests.
