Colonia Florida is located in the Álvaro Obregón borough, in southern Mexico City.

Colonia Florida was developed in the 1950s, alongside Guadalupe Inn around the core of the village of Axotla, in lands that belonged to the Hacienda de Guadalupe.[2][3]
Due to this fact, there is a particular feature in this neighborhood. Originally, Colonia Florida had cobblestoned street, nevertheless, this was substituted by irregular concrete, such as in the Historic center.
The streets in the neighborhood have names of flowers and fruits such as Hortensia, Olivo and Mango, Moras; Mexican mountains such as Iztaccihuátl and Ajusco. There are, nevertheless, streets whose names do not match this criterion, such as Minerva street, Patricio Sainz street and Francia street. Francia street name derives from the Club France, a sports club founded in 1928 by Frenchman Charles Tardan, which is located in that street.[4]
The area is served by the Mexico City Metrobús.
