The rotors kick up a gust that smells faintly of asphalt and flowering jacaranda as the helicopter lifts off; the city flattens into a grid of avenues daring you to see everything at once. From thirty minutes above, Paseo de la Reforma runs like a deliberate scar across the center, Chapultepec’s green hill holds its own against the skyline, and the Zócalo opens as a geometric heart.
