For a tour that covers all aspects, I think the following is most recommended: first destination, Teotihuacan, the City of the Gods, stop at the Basilica of Guadalupe, the most revered by Mexicans. Visit the archaeological sites of Teotihuacan site arrqueológico largest pre-Columbian Mexico. Visit a carved obsidian workshop, which is still practiced ancient specialty. Walking in the flowering of Xochimilco barges and then stroll through the historic center in the heart of the city that, despite the successive earthquakes it has suffered, the Zocalo, is very well preserved and can be visited, among other wonders, the cathedral built in 1573 and the National Palace.

This circuit is the most classic of Mexico, we can see the archaeological sites, sample the different cuisines, marvel at nature in its purest form. If you do not have the courage to do so only many travel agencies offer it yet, I think it predisposes to greater security risks and can do well by renting a car and looking for housing in different towns in our budget or needs.



But Mexico also offers holidays on the Atlantic (Caribbean Sea) or the incomparable Pacific beaches or adventure tourism, ecotourism either for contact with nature or for extreme sports such as the famous "embedded" in Acapulco, away from the conventional circuits. There are programs of many agencies including regional parties very own Mexican folklore as of November 1 "All Souls Day," worth seeing.
