Located between the National Museum of Anthropology and the Tamayo Museum, in the First Section of Chapultepec Forest, these new wetlands at the Reflecting Pool have become a key site for environmental conservation, biodiversity enhancement, and the creation of spaces for contemplation within one of Latin America's most important urban green lungs.

The project carried out by architect Mario Schjetnan GDUwas completed on May 11, 2026, and inaugurated the following day, thanks to a generous donation from Fundación HSBC

Acciones realizadas en los nuevos humedales en el the Reflecting Pool

• Installation of a wetland system within the Reflecting Pool, using a tezontle substrate and aquatic vegetation (including bulrush, horsetail, and papyrus) in the basins to naturally filter and improve water quality.
• Redesign and optimization of the hydraulic system: Transition to a more efficient configuration that reduces the operational water volume from 180 m³ to 60 m³ and decreases the required pumping power from 10 hp to 5 hp.
• Complete renovation of the electromechanical systems, electrical infrastructure, and pump room to address previous damage caused by flooding and cable theft.
• Landscaping and Vegetation Reconfiguration (Islands): Restoration and management of existing vegetation, along with the introduction of a new palette of low-water-use plant species on the islands throughout the corridor.
• Rehabilitation of Urban Furniture and Lighting
• Installation of Informational Signage
