You step out onto a broad stone square where traffic hums a respectful distance away and Cerro de la Silla watches the city like an unfinished sculpture. The Macroplaza opens like a map underfoot—forty hectares of monuments, fountains and plazas—and the audio in your ears begins to speak, not as a guide lecturing, but as a local friend pointing out details you would otherwise miss.
