Best experiences in Mexiko
Explore the old Herigate of the ancient people
If you are into ancient monuments and structures, it does not get better than this. The archaeological sites are huge, well maintained and reasonably priced. I also recommend visiting the museums, as the amount of interesting artifacts there can’t be seen anywhere else in the world.
Taste delicious Mexican food
Most people visit Mexico just for the food. It’s delicious, but beware that it’s not very healthy. You will find a lot of sugar even in white bread or white yogurt, and many Mexicans still drink Coke instead of water.
Experience the culture of the indigenous people
You can find indigenous people in different places in Mexico. From small villages to city centers where they perform their dances and other rituals.
