Two museums, then the lake

Soumaya and Jumex share a neighbourhood. LagoAlgo adds a lakeside finish, with a deliberate transfer between the two parts.

Start at Plaza Carso and choose how deeply to explore the two neighbouring collections. After lunch, take transport to Chapultepec’s second section for LagoAlgo. This is not one continuous short walk. Wednesday to Sunday best fits all three venues; check installation closures at Jumex before setting off. Gallery access and a restaurant table are separate arrangements.
