Santa Fe · Mexico Federal District

Essentials of Santa Fe

Santa Fe, situated in the west part of the capital on the rolling hills, is one of Mexico City's major business districts. Within 30 years, the massive landfill at the edge of Mexico city turned into one of the most important districts in terms of finance and corporate offices. World companies, prestigious schools and high-end universities are located in Santa Fe, which is part of the delegations of Cuajimalpa and Alvaro Obregon. This metropolitan area is one of the most modern districts, that grew upwards, in a posh "American-style": manicured collection of hypermodern mirrored glass and steel towers with luxury condos as well as giant malls are basic standards in Santa Fe.
