Tlahuac

Introduction

Located at the southeastern edge of the metropolitan area, Tláhuac is one of the sixteen boroughs of Mexico City. You can find a mix of environments here, as the borough still contains rural communities primarily in its southern and eastern portions.

The landscape reflects significant change over time; while some areas remain rural, much of the northwest has undergone massive urbanization since the 20th century. The area has experienced rapid growth since the 1960s.
