TlalpanTlalpan is the largest of the 16 delegaciones (boroughs) into which Mexico's Federal District is divided. Nio Jess, Jardines en la Montaa, Miguel Hidalgo, Santa rsula Xitle and Pedregal de San Nicols are some of the "colonias" (neighborhoods) into which Tlalpan is divided. In Tlalpan the main indigenous language was Nahuatl, but it is not spoken nowadays because of the cultural development of Mexico City. Tlalpan is home of Ajusco, a volcanic mountain peak and National Park, one of the highest mountains in Mexico City, and Bosque de Tlalpan, a big forest where "La Casa de la Cultura" (House of Culture - A museum and theater where different cultural shows & exhibits are continuously presented) is located. Bosque de Tlalpan also features many jogging and hiking trails, as well as numerous newly-constructed picnic shelters throughout this beautiful forest. Spring-time blankets the forest floor with dozens of varieties of colourful wildflowers. Tecnolgico de Monterrey Campus Ciudad de Mexico (Monterrey's Technology Institute, Mexico City Campus), one of Mexico's best universities, is located inside Tlalpan. U.P.N., the Universidad Pedaggica Nacional is located in Tlalpan's north-west section on Blvd Picacho al Ajusco, next to the smaller Colegio de Mexico. UPN is the country's national university for training teachers, and has more than 30 campuses nationwide; this campus in Mexico City is UPN's largest, with over 25,000 students. Just up the road from UPN is the Six Flags amusement park. Tlalpan is one of the safest delegaciones in the greater Mexico City area, according 2002 crime statistics and still one of the less expensive for real estate prices. External link
