Did you know there’s a statue of the “Divo de Juárez” right in Chapultepec Forest? It’s located on the Paseo de los Compositores! This is exactly the kind of information you’ll find on the new map called “In the Footsteps of Juan Gabriel,” which will take you to the places in Mexico City that were important in the idol’s history.
Let’s remember that August 28, 2026, marks the tenth anniversary of the artist’s passing, so various venues are preparing a very special tribute. Among them is the Hyperlocal guide created by Apple Maps, which highlights ten sites:
- Palacio de Bellas Artes
- National Auditorium
- Plaza de la Constitución (Mexico City’s Zócalo)
- Alameda Central
- Plaza Garibaldi
- Salón Tenampa
- Lecumberri Palace
- Chapultepec Forest
- Teatro Blanquita
- Angel of Independence
Each location features a brief description that recounts part of his personal and artistic history, his most significant performances, and some key moments.
To access this map, simply type “In the Footsteps of Juan Gabriel” into the Apple Maps search bar; you can also save the guide and share it.
Put on a great Juanga playlist on your headphones and head out to visit the places that saw him pass by!
