Some stories are best enjoyed after dark, when the forest becomes part of the setting. “Myths and Legends in Ajusco” is a nighttime experience where you’ll hear seven tales as you walk the trails of San Nicolás Totolapan Ejidal Park.
This ecotourism destination is located in San Nicolás Totolapan, in the La Magdalena Contreras borough, along the Picacho-Ajusco highway. In addition to its regular nature-based activities, during October and November it will offer this special tour inspired by local stories.
