Mexico Essentials

Mexico’s architectural and natural history spans millennia, from the monumental Mayan pyramids of Chichén Itzá and the massive Teotihuacán complex to the Aztec ruins of Templo Mayor in Mexico City. This selection highlights world-renowned institutions like the National Museum of Anthropology and the Museo Soumaya, alongside colonial landmarks such as the neo-Gothic Parroquia in San Miguel de Allende. Diverse landscapes are represented by the seaside ruins of Tulum, the travertine rock formations of Hierve el Agua, and the traditional Aztec-era canals of Xochimilco.
