Parque mexico

This guide to Parque Mexico in Mexico City follows a local legend that aviator Charles Lindbergh landed his plane on the old Jockey Club racetrack in December 1927, and the more measured facts behind his visit that year. It traces how the racetrack's oval footprint became this Art Deco park, and how the open-air theater at its center got named Foro Lindbergh. Listen for the fountain nearby, cast the same year the legend is said to have touched down.
