Santa Fe

Understand

Santa Fe was developed in the early 1990's on the remnants of an old landfill -- yes, a junk yard turned into a modern business district. It wasn't until the early 2000's that Santa Fe gained attention , radically different from the rest of the city, because of its ultramodern architecture and contrasting wealth lifestyle signs.

The paranoia that the local authorities have against photographers in Mexico City goes double for Santa Fe. Guards will yell "no photo" at you, or even shoo you away from a building if you as so much approach with a camera, tripod or no.This building is nicknamed, "The Washing Machine Building" or "Lavandería".
