Did someone say “hongosto”? Mushroom season is already here. Although it peaks in August, there will be a mushroom tour in Chapultepec Forest during July. There are only a few dates available, so mark your calendar right away.
On the tour called “Antes de hongosto,” you’ll learn more about mushrooms. This is an informational tour only, so no mushrooms will be collected from the forest. The idea is for you to discover all their secrets.
When will the mushroom tour in Chapultepec Forest take place?
The good news is that these tours will take place on weekends, so don’t worry about work or school. Admission is free, but space is limited, so we recommend arriving early. Wear comfortable shoes because you’ll be walking for a while.
The tour will take place on Sundays, July 5 and 12, at two different times: 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. The meeting point is the Chapultepec Forest Botanical Garden. So not only will you learn more about mushrooms, but you’ll also enjoy one of the most iconic spots in this Mexico City forest.
Although mushrooms are present year-round, the truth is that between June and November they’re easier to find due to the rains, according to information from UNAM Global.
So it’s a great time to learn more about them. Pack some comfortable clothes and head out on this tour.
