Top Cultural, Religious and Historic Sites in Mexico
- Wonder at the impressive engineering feat that is Chichen Itza, one of the largest ancient Mayan cities in Mexico. Situated in Yucatan, the archeological site is dominated by the soaring El Castillo pyramid.
- Absorb the electric atmosphere on the street in the handicraft markets of Puebla, a city built by the Spanish in south-central Mexico to such impressive dimensions it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Enter the shadowy interior of Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral, constructed over 250 years from 1573 onwards on the site of the Aztec people’s holy precinct, and forming a truly monumental addition to Plaza de la Constitución in the Downtown district.
- Head south to explore San Cristóbal del las Casas in Mexico’s highlands, where indigenous communities continue to live much as they have done since before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the fifteenth century.
