Provincial atmosphere in the narrow streets of San Agustín de las Cuevas, with manor houses like La Casona. On one side of the tree-lined square lies the San Agustin Church from the 16th century, the La Paz market, the canteen La Jalisciense  and Los Portales, where some services such as the telegraph and the coalyard used to be, today converted into restaurants.

Around Tlalpan are some of the most important natural areas of Mexico City. Families, students and running fans find authentic green oasis at the Fuentes Brotantes National Park, the lake and the Loreto Peña Pobre eco-tourism park. Archaeology lovers must visit Cuicuilco. Cuicuilco is one of the cradles of the Mexico Valley civilizations, the forerunner of the Teotihuacan civilization.

Adventurers will enjoy hiking at the Tlalpan forest or at the rugged terrain of Cumbres del Ajusco National Park. The routes inside the park, as well as the bike path up to La Cima in the town of Parres, are two of the favorite destinations for mountain biking enthusiasts.
