Giro veloce in bici da Città del Messico a Delegazione Iztapalapa

Hop on your bike in the buzzing heart of Mexico City, right by the Zócalo, and head southeast toward vibrant Iztapalapa. This roughly 16.5 km ride is mostly smooth sailing, with about 93% paved surfaces and super gentle elevation changes, so it’s great for most riders.

The route takes you out of the city’s historic center into neighborhoods where you’ll catch flashes of everyday life—think colorful murals, bustling street markets, and maybe even the scent of fresh tamales. Most roads are pretty quiet, making for a relaxed cruise, but keep an eye out for occasional busier streets.

Your destination, Iztapalapa, is famous for its annual Holy Week processions and as one of the most populous boroughs in Mexico City, packed with local culture and community spirit. This ride is perfect for soaking up a less-touristy side of the capital. Grab a snack at a local market when you arrive—you’ve earned it!
