Excelente lugar para caminar un rato. Los fines de semana es gratis. Cuántos con senderos que son agradables de recorrer y un pequeño museo con vestigios de la zona.

Unique site with lots of history in the middle of the city, nice to go once or twice the flora is worth it

Está bonito el lugar, es un pequeño pulmón enmedio de la ciudad, y una conexión a una parte de nuestra historia. Me sorprendió saber que Cuicuilco fue el primer gran asentamiento humano en la cuenca del valle de México. El basamento tiene bonitas vistas y los senderos son relajantes, lo recomiendo si no tienes mucho tiempo para invertir, el lugar es chico, pero sustancial, tiene un pequeño museo del sitio también. Acudí en sábado y no me cobraron nada, solo te piden que te registres en la entrada.
