My familia lives in Toluca which is a suburb of Mexico on the west side of La Marquesa National Forest. It's about an hour away from Mexico City and half an hour from Santa Fe.
Not a lot of Americans have heard about Santa Fe, Mexico unless they are involved with international business or marketing. The reason being is that Santa Fe is relatively a new part of the city. Back in 1985, there was a horrible earth quake near the Centro Historico. This caused a lot of people and businesses to migrate to the west of the city which was largely undeveloped land. The land was perfect for development. It was situated between two high-income neighborhoods and was directly located on the toll road connecting Toluca with Mexico City.
So city planners got busy and created a master-planned business, residential, and educational community. all surrounded by one of the largest malls in North America. Within twenty years Santa Fe has grown from a small town to Mexico City's largest business powerhouse districts.
It has very modern architecture and amazing landscapes. Santa Fe is on of Mexico's fastest growing areas. 8 Million shoppers visit the mall alone each year! I got the chance to tour the city with my familia. We had the family driver give us a tour of the town. A def. must see for everyone who visits the city.
