Mexico City sits at over 2,200 m altitude in a mountain-ringed basin, which traps pollution and can affect both air quality and drone performance (thinner air reduces lift and battery efficiency versus sea level) — worth factoring in alongside the usual wind/visibility checks, especially during the dry-season haze months (roughly December–May).
