MEXICO CITY has a complex and evolving urban plan that belies the dynamic city life in this metropolis. Did you know it's both the oldest capital city in the Americas and one of two founded by indigenous people in about 1325 and known as Tenochtitlan? Poet Octavio Paz called his vibrant hometown a "paradise of cages." Surrounded by natural beauty, the city grids first established by conquering Spaniards endure, but the modern city also reflects the spread of populations into marginal areas with DIY street planning.All in all, it's an epic challenge to map Mexico City and this map represents just a small portion, centered on La Condesa and Roma Sur and including Bosque de Chapultepec, Napoles, Doctores, Juarez, San Rafael and San Simon, among other neighborhoods.

This is a PRINT. My hand-drawn map lines are turned white over my watercolor wash, a layering of many hand-painted rainbows.

Please contact me for larger print sizes or an alternate title if you want to highlight a different neighborhood within the map boundaries.

8" x 10", 11" x 14" and 16" x 20" are the best print sizes to purchase if you'd like to find a frame "off the shelf" instead of custom framing. Prints have a border so no mat is required - just pop it in the frame of the same size and hang!

If you'd prefer a square print, just purchase the size that matches the width you'd like, leave a note at checkout to make it square and I will make it square! If my print widths available in menu do not match your preference, send me a note with an alternate size. I can print from 5" x 5" to 17" x 17" - Thanks!
