Return
to Mexico travel guide
Mexico is a hub of different
interests and cultures. People who travel to Mexico will witness many rich
and diverse cultures and entertainment. From museums and opera houses to
idyllic beach resorts, travelers in Mexico will definitely not ask for
anything more.
Probably one of the places
that people who travel to Mexico will surely enjoy are the beach resorts
outside the capital city. At the top of the list is Acapulco, which is
sometimes referred to as the Riviera of Mexico for its hotels, casinos
and beach resorts. The Acapulco is a very popular tourist destination where
one can also do deep-sea fishing as well as other water sports. Another
haven for people who travel to Mexico is the Mazatlan, which frequently
holds the international fishing tournaments as well as pre-Lenten carnivals.
Hunting and fishing are also things that will interest people who travel
to Mexico. One can also find in Mazatlan an observatory and one of the
tallest lighthouses in the world. Other beaches that travelers in Mexico
should not miss are the Cancun Island, the Puerto Vallarta and the Los
Cabos.
Traveling to Mexico also
opens the door to a world of arts and drama. With its many museums, Mexico
is one of the most important museum destinations in the world. The Chapultepec
Park houses several of these celebrated museums; the most important of
which is the National Museum of Anthropology. Other museums that travelers
in Mexico should also visit are the Museum of National History, Snail Museum,
Technology Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, which boasts of the finest
collection of Mexican painting including those of masters such as Diego
Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Rufino
Tamayo. Children will also enjoy the Mexico City Zoo and the Papalote,
a children's interactive museum.
Traveling to Mexico will
not be complete without visiting the Basilica de Guadalupe, which marks
the site of the Virgin Mother's appearance in 1531. The Metropolitan Cathedral
is another travel destination within Mexico. With its baroque and neoclassical
fa?ade, the church is a great example of architectural art forms.
Another Mexican architectural
masterpiece is the Chapultepec Castle, which once served as presidential
residence. The castle also features the murals of Mexican painter Juan
O' Gorman as well as the Memorial to Infant Heroes. Los Pinos, which is
the official residence of the Mexican President, is also on the grounds
of the Castle.
Monuments abound in the Paseo
de la Reforma, a tree-line boulevard that houses Mexico's landmarks. Travelers
will surely love the monuments such as the Angel of the Independence, the
symbol of the country's national identity, Cuauhtemoc Memorial and the
Diana Cazadora, the statue of Diana the Huntress.
What is traveling to Mexico
without shopping for souvenirs? The Zona Rosa or the Pink Zone is an ideal
shopping paradise. Within the area are restaurants, boutique squares, shops
and hotels. Another shopping district is the Alameda Park, which borders
the Palace of Fine Arts.
History fanatics will also
love traveling to Mexico's famed religious city of Teotihuacan, the capital
of pre-Aztec civilization. In Teotihuacan, travelers to Mexico will find
the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon, two pyramids that face
each other, providing a great view of the surrounding regions from the
top.
