Nuclear Fountains Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Thematically, it seems like a good location for a triathlon. The statue in the fountain looks like a person diving.

This historic monument in Chapultepec Park commemorates the six cadets of the Military Academy who defended Mexico during the American invasion of 1847. Built of Carrara marble and inaugurated in 1952, it is notable for its six monumental semicircular columns adorned with sculptures representing the defense of national sovereignty. Strategically located at the entrance to the First Section, along Avenida Juventud Heroica, its neoclassical architecture and historical significance make it an essential stop for connecting with Mexican military history while exploring the park's paths.

Paseo de los Compositores

Highlight • Monument

The Paseo de los Compositores (Walk of the Composers), located in the Jardín de la Tercera Edad (Garden of the Third Age), pays homage to great figures of Mexican music with bronze busts created by sculptor Octavio Ponzanelli. Among them are Agustín Lara, María Grever, Silvestre Revueltas, and Juventino Rosas, composer of the famous waltz "Over the Waves." It is a peaceful and shaded promenade, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the cultural surroundings. In the same area, a fountain featuring the figure of "Cri-Cri" commemorates the beloved character created by Francisco Gabilondo Soler.
