One of the very best reasons to venture into Chapultepec Park is to see the most unique and intriguing of Rivera's creations in Mexico City. The Fuente de Tláloc presents one a 3-D tiled fountain sculpture capturing the essence of the Native Mexican spirit.
The image one sees depends on which side of the fountain one views this masterpiece that Rivera started in 1952.
Inside the municipal water system building, Rivera muraled the Carcamo, the water tank designed for diverting water to the fountain.
As the murals quickly deteriorated due to the water, only recently has their restoration been completed and reopened to the public for viewing.
One may not be able to find a more peaceful spot in the city than this section of the park.
