'''Chapultepec''', more commonly called the "'''Bosque de Chapultepec'''" (Chapultepec Forest) in [[Mexico City]], is one of the largest Nature Value Area´s in Mexico, measuring in total just over {{convert|866|ha|acre|abbr=off}}. Centered on a rock formation called Chapultepec Hill, one of the park's main functions is as an ecological space in [[Greater Mexico City]]. It is considered the first and most important of Mexico City's "lungs".

The area encompassing modern-day Chapultepec has been inhabited and considered a landmark since the [[pre-Columbian era]], when it became a retreat for [[Aztec]] rulers. In the colonial period, [[Chapultepec Castle]] was built here, eventually becoming the official residence of Mexico's heads of state. It would remain so until 1934, when [[Los Pinos]], in another area of the forest, became the presidential residence.

Bosque de Chapultepec is divided into four sections, with the first section being the oldest and most visited. This section contains most of the forest attractions, including the castle, the [[Chapultepec Zoo]], the [[Museo Nacional de Antropología|Museum of Anthropology]], and the [[Museo Rufino Tamayo, Mexico City|Rufino Tamayo Museum]], among others. It receives an estimated 24 million visitors per year<ref>{{Cite web |title=El Bosque de Chapultepec |url=http://bosquedechapultepec.mx:9000/bosquedechapultepec/el-bosque/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250323061311/http://bosquedechapultepec.mx:9000/bosquedechapultepec/el-bosque/ |archive-date=2025-03-23 |access-date=2025-05-15 |website=Bosque de Chapultepec |language=es-MX}}</ref>. This prompted the need for major rehabilitation efforts that began in 2005 and ended in 2010.
