The former official residence of Mexican presidents is a white mansion built in 1853 and known simply as 'Los Pinos.' When President López Obrador (AMLO) came to power in 2018, he transformed Los Pinos into a museum open to the public. There is little on display and little explanatory text, so you have to use your imagination to enjoy the architecture and garden.
