Just before reaching the famous "Y" of the Ajusco. The most panoramic and close view of the mountain with its well-known Pico del Águila. A path that has changed a lot over the years due to construction and now 2 stops on the road. The only thing that remains beautiful is the mountainous view and the feeling of having managed to reach this point by bike.

It is the section before the famous "Y" of the Ajusco circuit where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the mountain, the Pico del Águila in the distance, from there you will already have an idea of the weather that awaits you on the road to the heights . Over the years the panorama has changed due to the buildings and bars, but it is still beautiful.

Excellent area to train within the city, whether you go by bike, rollerblades or running you will find good slopes with enough incline to sweat and suffer when you go in mood training. There are parts with little traffic at some times of the day, as long as it is before or after the departure of people to their destinations. Another advantage is that there are good trees that provide shade and a cooler environment than many roads or paths. Enjoy your effort!
