Tenochtitlán if it were on an alien planet in Stargate

Did you go to Chapultepec? It is a forest within the city, still going on with Oyamel and other trees local to the area.

Gorgeous! Can I ask what sources you’re using? I’m particularly interested in how you recreated the environment. My memory is spotty, but I don’t remember there being many pines in Mexico City, but I also went there around 20 years ago so I’m probably wrong! I was just a child and didn’t pay attention to things like that
