"Viveros is just a few blocks away from Coyoacán’s main square. This huge wooded area is a popular spot for morning runners. Its main circuit is well-maintained and stretches for a mile and a half with several other trails crossing the forest in all directions. The area serves as a nursery of trees and is an important part of the reforestation efforts in Mexico City." - MATADOR_NETWORK

"Viveros de Coyoacán, Coyoacán by Leolab. With over 100 years of existence, Viveros de Coyoacán is a National Park administered by the Federal Government through the Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources, where plant production is carried out and the main objective is donating trees to reforest the entire metropolitan area of Mexico City. The various tree species available at the Viveros de Coyoacán, are given to the various sectors that make up our society: public, private, local, federal, school, organizations, among others. All with the aim of further contributing to the conservation of our environment. Currently the Viveros de Coyoacán is one of the great lungs of Mexico City. It also has a 2.5km track that’s ideal for you if you wish to disconnect from the noisy rhythm of the city. If you feel like buying beautiful plants and flowers, this is the right place to do it."
