Nuevo Bosques de Chapultepec Travel Guide

Over the years, new sections of parkland have been added to the west of the original Bosque de Chapultepec. These are occasionally still referred to as the Nuevo Bosques de Chapultepec , but are more commonly known as the Segunda Sección , or Second Section (marked on signs and maps as "2a Sección") and Tercera Sección , or Third Section (3a Sección). With very few places to cross the periférico , it is difficult reach the newer parts of the park from the old, and it is far better to make a separate visit, especially if you've got kids, who will appreciate the child-friendly museums, boating lake and the city's major amusement park, La Feria. There are fewer genuinely compelling reasons to visit either section for adults, though the second section is an enjoyable area to stroll about, and a good deal quieter than the main section of the park.
