In bici da Cuauhtémoc a Miguel Hidalgo

Roll out from Cuauhtémoc near Tlatelolco’s Plaza de las Tres Culturas and weave a few quiet streets to pick up the protected bike lane on Paseo de la Reforma. From there it’s a smooth, mostly flat cruise to Miguel Hidalgo: about 10.6 km with roughly 50 m of climbing. The ride is almost entirely paved (mostly asphalt), with a couple of short paving‑stone stretches in the older blocks.

You’ll spend much of the time on calm streets and proper cycleways, gliding past leafy medians and monuments toward Chapultepec. Angle into Miguel Hidalgo via Gandhi or Mariano Escobedo to finish around Polanco/Chapultepec. At 2,276 m above sea level, take it easy if you’re not used to the altitude.

Fun facts: Cuauhtémoc packs major history, from Tlatelolco’s archaeological site to the skyline along Reforma. Miguel Hidalgo is home to Bosque de Chapultepec and world‑class museums like the National Museum of Anthropology and Museo Soumaya—perfect for a post‑ride wander or a coffee in Polanco.
