The guy at the cell phone stand in front of the station recharged my cell phone for about 10 pesos, saving my route.🤓

Next to the old railroad bike path is this Zapata monument, almost on the corner of Hidalgo Street in San Miguel Ajusco. There are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat and continue on your way, whether you're climbing the Ajusco hill or taking the bike path.

On Mexico City's longest bike path, near San Miguel Ajusco, is this station where you can find restrooms, food, shelter, and see the remains of the old train station that connected Mexico City to Cuernavaca. It's empty during the week, so don't expect to find anyone there. At this point, it's safe during the morning hours. To date, no conflicts or dangers have been reported there; let's hope it stays that way.

On one side of the bike path that once served as the railroad tracks to Cuernavaca. A place to take shelter from the elements, take a break, or take a pit stop for a bathroom break, although sometimes there's no water or it's closed.

I remember when it was in better condition than it is now, and all the facilities were functioning, the bathrooms had running water, and there was always someone to look after and assist with the bike rentals. Currently, it doesn't have all the services, but it's generally a safe area, and you can take shelter from the elements if you need to.

Located on the side of the Picacho-Ajusco highway, just before the bridge that crosses the bike path (formerly the train tracks to Cuernavaca). In this area, on weekends, stalls are set up and even bicycles are sold, along with supplies to continue your journey, whether you take the highway toward Ajusco or the bike path that leads to Parres. The area is fairly safe, but don't be wary of any suspicions. The advantage is that there are almost always people around, and during the week, there are hardly anyone.
