Our city is ready for one of its most colorful and tasty environmental celebrations: Hongosto 2025 in CDMX, an entire month dedicated to the fascinating diversity of fungi that inhabit its Natural Protected Areas and Environmental Culture Centers.
During August and part of September, you can participate in guided tours, workshops, courses, photography sessions, observations and a festival that mixes science, art, culture and gastronomy.
With free or low-cost activities, Hongosto 2025 is an opportunity for the whole family to get close to the city’s biodiversity, learn about the importance of fungi in the ecological balance and enjoy a cultural calendar that mixes learning and fun.
To participate in most of the activities it is necessary to register in advance via email or telephone, depending on the venue, but run because limited spaces are running out!
