Forza Horizon 5: Where is the Gran Telescopio in Mexico?

Dwarfing almost everything else on the Mexican map, where is the Gran Telescopio in Forza Horizon 5?

You need to find the Gran Telescopio for this week's #3000 Photo Challenge. Thankfully, we've got the answer for you!

Where is the Gran Telescopio in Forza Horizon 5?

The Gran Telescopio is what it sounds like: a giant telescope! The Gran Telescopio is located on the north edge of the Gran Caldera volcano.

You can't really miss the volcano. It's where The Titan starts, and is the summit of the massive drift zones.

Once you get to the top, you need to get to the north side of the peak for the Gran Telescopio to come into view. Trust us, you won't miss it.

Because of its size, the best views of Gran Telescopio can be found to the southwest. Right on the edge of the volcano is a viewing point. From there you can see the telescope in all its glory.

#3000 Photo Challenge

You need to know the location of the Gran Telescopio for this week's Photo Challenge. The #3000 Photo Challenge sends players up the mountain to snap the 1997 Mitsubishi GTO by the Gran Telescopio.

Despite the clue stating the snapshot has to be at the telescope, grabbing a photo from the viewing point mentioned above also completes the challenge.

Completing the #3000 Photo Challenge will unlock the Plasma Car Horn reward.
