Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Magdalena Contreras do Álvaro Obregón

This ride takes you from the southern borough of Magdalena Contreras, known for its leafy streets and scenic parks, up north to Álvaro Obregón—two of Mexico City’s greener, more laid-back districts. At just under 7 km, it’s a manageable spin with a bit of a climb (about 80 m up and 88 m down), so you’ll get to work those legs a little—without it feeling like a mountain stage.

Most of the route rolls on smooth pavement and asphalt, with more than half along dedicated cycleways, which is always a plus in CDMX traffic! You might pass through some quiet residential roads and get a rare stretch of cobblestone for a real Mexico City touch. The finish in Álvaro Obregón offers plenty of cafes and taquerías to refuel, plus easy access to major cycle-friendly avenues. All in all, it’s a perfect urban escape with just enough elevation for a satisfying loop!
