5 Fun Facts About Mexico City

• One of the Oldest Cities in the Americas: Mexico City was originally founded by the Aztecs in 1325 as Tenochtitlán, making it one of the oldest cities in the Americas! The city was built on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco, and many of its canals are still visible in areas like Xochimilco.
• It’s Sinking: Mexico City is built on the soft sediment of what was once Lake Texcoco, which has caused the city to gradually sink over time. Some parts of the city are sinking at a rate of up to 12 inches (30 cm) per year!
• Chapultepec Park is Massive: Chapultepec Park is located in the heart of the city and is one of the largest urban parks in the world, even larger than Central Park in New York City! It covers over 1,695 acres and includes museums, a zoo, a castle, and lakes.
• World-Class Museums: Mexico City has more museums than almost any other city in the world. It boasts over 150 museums, covering everything from art and history to anthropology and even toys!
