What to visit in Mexico?

Mexico was shaped primarily by the Maya and other peoples who inhabited these lands. They are remembered by numerous archaeological sites that provide insight into their culture, beliefs and activities. While in Mexico, take time to explore them. Be sure to check out Palenque , Uxmal, El Tajin or Chichen Itza , which will delight you with perfectly preserved buildings from many centuries ago. However, Mexico is also somewhat more recent attractions and monuments. There are many memorabilia of colonialism here, in the form of coherent, urban buildings, colorful tenement houses or impressive churches. When it comes to sightseeing, Mexico City is the most amazing with many excellent museums. Remarkable architecture awaits you in Oaxaca and Puebla , with their old towns inscribed on the UNESCO list. It is also worth visiting Merida or the thoroughly romantic and elegant San Miguel de Allende .
