Bosque, Second Section

Posted: August 29th, 2021 | Filed under: Out Of Town

Panteón de Dolores, the huge city cemetery located between the second and third sections of Bosque de Chapultepec, is closed for covid — a lot of things in Mexico City have been closed for covid . . .

. . . so we walked over the pedestrian bridge adjoining the cemetery entrance into the Segunda Sección of the Bosque de Chapultepec. This part of the park dates to the 1960s and, compared to the primary section of the park, is scrappy and interesting in its own way:

The fish in the lakes must not get fed or something because they will almost jump out of the water when you approach:

As much as my Spanish would allow, I understood this all to be a big fountain, and part of an aeration system between the two lakes in the park:
