Pico del Águila and Cruz del Marqués (Ajusco)

Highlight • Summit

Located in the Sierra de las Cruces, the Ajusco mountain range has two peaks: Pico del Águila and Cruz del Marqués. Climbing Las Cruces del Pico del Águila via this short route has its degree of difficulty and risk, like any mountain pass. The steep incline on this route from Abrevadero is steep, making it more difficult for some hikers.

Basic equipment and route knowledge are required. I've seen experienced hikers descend on the wrong paths without any serious consequences, but it will take them longer to get back to the road. There are several wooded rest areas along the route for easy stops if needed.

Currently, it's heavily visited, so it's easy to find someone to help if necessary. It's very important to take your waste with you and respect the area so it can last for generations.

There are some higher-risk passes that should be taken into account. It's best to bring safety equipment. You can connect to the next summit of Ajusco (Cruz del Marqués).

Don't forget that the weather on the mountain can change suddenly, and it's best not to get too confident and bring only the essentials, such as sunscreen, a jacket, water, and food.

The view is spectacular and worth the climb! 🤩

A sunrise there is incredible.

View of Pico del Águila

Highlight • Viewpoint

A charming place! It's the highest point in Mexico City, located in the Sierra de las Cruces or Sierra del Ajusco-Chichinautzin, or Ajusco, at 3,937 meters above sea level, offering a beautiful panoramic view.

It seems easy to get there, but it isn't, depending on the route you choose. The scenery to watch the sunrise and see Mexico City from above is incredible; it's worth climbing before dawn to appreciate it like in the photos I'm sharing. The view, the fresh air, the sound of the trees and nature are wonderful.

Please take care of the area, don't litter, don't forget to bring water and some basic food, and respect the mountains so you don't get a scare. Don't be overconfident; remember that experience and knowledge are needed to handle unexpected situations such as sudden weather changes or other problems, and being up there is never the same.
