Mexico City and Teotihuacan: Bestseller in Central Mexico
Description:
This one-day (and two-day) tour of Central Mexico is extremely popular! All the most famous tourist places - the pyramids of Teotihuacan, the Basilica of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, the Museum of Anthropology (almost not the main museum of the country), the historical center of Mexico City itself - all the most important sights of the region will appear before your eyes in the shortest possible time, but without compromising impressions.
Teothiuacan (Teotihuacan).
No one knows exactly when Teotihuacan was built and no one knows for sure who created this ancient city. Differences about the date of its occurrence in the scientific community go for millennia. Legends attribute the construction of the city to extraterrestrial civilizations, the ancient Central Mexican Indians believed that it was created by gods, and their modern descendants tell the story of the birth in the “City of Gods” Teotihuacan symbol of the Fifth Sun era – the White Jaguar. One thing is obvious to everyone: Teotihuacan is a unique settlement, unlike any other Indian city. The scale of buildings that are difficult to suspect of man-made, perfectly designed and geometrically accurate proportions of Teotihuacan structures definitely suggest the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. It is unlikely that anyone will be able to solve this mystery of centuries in the near future, but you can see this monument of world scale and significance. The Alley of the Dead, the Pyramid of the Sun and the mouth of the creepy serpent Quetzalcoatl and other sights of this beautiful and creepy city are ready to take several more inquisitive victims to maintain an unfading interest in it.
Mexico City.
Mexico City is a city with crazy energy. Located in an amazing place from a historical point of view - on the site of the former capital of the Aztecs - absorbed the spirit of the Spanish colonial conquests and subsequently became a Catholic mecca of the New World, this magical metropolis in the frame of high-mountain landscapes is nothing but the hot heart of Mexico! A two-hour walk in the streets of the capital, inhabited by more than 25 million people (and you can imagine what a variety of cultures and unexpected discoveries awaits a European) will definitely take you to the historical center of the city, where you will focus on its main attractions: Zocalo Square, the Cathedral, the National Palace, the Palace of Fine Arts, etc. You will also enjoy a walk through Chapultepec Central Park and the famous Mexican Anthropological Museum. Buildings of past centuries and modern skyscrapers, the tranquility of the ruins of an ancient civilization and the rapid energy of the modern mega-capital - Mexico City is an amazing mix of eras and cultures!
