The Avenida Río Churubusco begins at the Avenida Universidad as part of an urban highway of the Circuito Interior . From here it initially runs in an easterly direction and on its first section forms the border between the districts ( delegaciones ) Benito Juárez in the north and Coyoacán in the south.

To the northeast of the intersection with Avenida Universidad is the Centro Coyoacán shopping mall , which, despite the opposite name, is also in the area of ​​the Delegación Benito Juárez, as is the Coyoacán metro station , one block north , which is served by line 3. To the south of the first street section is the Viveros de Coyoacán park belonging to Coyoacán and on the north side, immediately before the meeting with Eje 1 Poniente (Avenida México-Coyoacán), the Panteón Xoco .

On the south side of the second section of the street is the Museo Casa de León Trotsky at number 410 and to the north of the street, just before the meeting with the Avenida División del Norte, the Alberca Olímpica Francisco Márquez , one of the venues for the 1968 Summer Olympics .

South of the next street section is the Parque Xicoténcatl and behind it the old town center of Churubusco , after which the street presented here is named and which today forms a colonia belonging to the Delegación Coyoacán .

Immediately after the intersection with Calzada de Tlalpan is the Centro Nacional de las Artes on the south side and soon behind it - just a little more than a hundred meters from the street - the extensive grounds of Club Campestre de la Ciudad de México .

Just a few meters behind the Country Club (Campestre de la Ciudad de México), the road turns north-east, soon crosses the Iztapalapa district and continues east again after about 1.5 kilometers. Shortly after this bend, it meets the north-south axis Eje 2 Oriente (Calzada de la Viga) and another 1.5 km later on Eje 3 Oriente (Geógrafos).

The division of the road

Soon the road turns again several hundred meters long to the northeast and divides: as Circuito Interior Avenida Río Churubusco , it continues its last section in a northerly direction shortly afterwards and as Eje 4 Oriente (Avenida Río Churubusco) it branches off in a northeast direction from.
