Mexico's Hidden Gems

Mexico's diverse geography and history are represented through sites like the surrealist concrete sculptures of Las Pozas and the 333-meter deep Sótano de las Golondrinas pit cave. Archaeological landmarks include the circular pyramids of Guachimontones and the UNESCO-listed Paquimé ruins. Natural sites feature the travertine rock formations of Hierve el Agua, the underground river system of Rio Secreto, and the overwintering grounds of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. Cultural highlights include the syncretic San Juan Chamula Church and the historic Postal Palace.
