Often, when the evening wear ashes behind the window and the ugly of the rain outside, and in autumn with its attribute the pain caused made … and your dreams … Perhaps one area, it is fervently pleaches sunlight, wind in your hair is, the breeze of the lake or the sea … It is a place where the sun shines almost every morning, where every new day is ok, because knowledge from October to January is the best time for travelers to the cradle of ancient civilizations of the New World – Mexico.

The land of the Aztecs and Maya cultures are now, the brilliant and memorable connection between the past and are currently linking the mountains of stories, impenetrable jungles, landscapes of terrible beauty, the most common simple pyramid and tidy.

Mexico, the story is rich, vibrant colors, high culture and open heart to win, and everything to impress you with warm hospitality. Let me teach you some facts and misled as I make a pass to enter this country and will get a lot of joy and impressions.

So, did the west coast of Mexico with water in the Pacific and the Gulf of California to the East – the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. South of the border of Guatemala and Belize.

The capital of Mexico or the United States from Mexico who want to share my impression, is Mexico. It is built a Latin American city on the ruins of the Aztec capital. It is the largest city in the world and the oldest in the New World wealth of wonderful monuments of the pre-colonial and Spanish.

They say the city has a soul, the soul of Mexico and the multi-million population is under the large slabs paved with dark Plaza de la Constitution, hidden Socalo covered. All of this can the Venice area of Constitution Square Piazza San Marco in Venice, compare, and public buildings rise into the box boundaries, including the monumental Palace of Government famous fresco, Diego Rivera and the largest cathedral in Latin America.

A wonderfully is the Chapultepec Park, is a few attractions like the Museum of Modern Art, The Anthropologies National Museum, the zoo and the castle of Chapultepec.

Created, in fact, some sponges, Mexico culture and serves as the guardian of the three simultaneously – Indian, Spanish and Mexican people, from the previous two cultures. That is why the museum with a relatively large amount of valuables Major Indian States, the Spanish-style can only be followed by Saint-Dominique, if one of the magnificent Baroque church, Europe may again be filled is access to luxurious PACEO Avenue de la Reforma, and the current trend is seen in the Palais des Beaux-Arts.

She seems to have the film in the lives of Indians and trend are observed, and here only 40 miles from Mexico, you have the opportunity to land up to the most famous monuments and mysterious Indian culture: the protected archeological site of Teotihuacan Pyramids of Sun and Moon Avenue of the Dead and Quetzalcoatl (the Feathered Dragon), occupying the area of 23 square kilometers. City is the archaeological site of great American.

And aside from the ancient world, is a symbol period, the Torre Latinoamericaan, which is 177 meters high. You should definitely lit at night and a picture of the sea of houses, with millions of lights, long be remembered. And coming here, and brought the Garibaldi area to meet the bands music until late into the night to play mariachi music for all who want them for a few pesos.

In fact, it is not only very pleasant to walk through the city, visit museums and monuments, but also a cozy restaurant or a coffee to sit. Believe me, it’s interesting, even tasteful. For example, I and a huge amount of people around the world who want Mexican cuisine as one of the most diverse and delicious in the world. An examination of the national courts, the popular and can easily find a coffee and even a stand in the way, are tortillas (corn pones), burritos, fajitas, kesadiya. You must be very careful, because the Mexican cuisine like to add more chili, but served in many tourist destinations hot sauces separately. Reference will not drink to be original if I say that the national drink and is known throughout the world, tequila, beer and mescal.

Having tired of candy when you have time to places such as house-museum Trotskiy one of the most brilliant, controversial and tragic figures because of your attention.

House-museum of Frida Calo, the famous Mexican artist, wife of the famous painter Diego Rivera art with a unique, special, mysterious figure, still pose a genuine interest and attract the lovers of painting Mexico. Decades after his death, Frida Calo cult of personality of women in the movement. Its complex life, he (as a child, polio, repeated it dozens), her character has a bit of incredible power.

To journey through Mexico at the end, I recommend a visit to the canals of Xochimilco. This is a fascinating region of flower gardens or swimming. Aztecs called channels chinampas remember Tescoco the remains of the lake, where the city itself is raised. To together a complete picture of what is known as seen on foot on the side of the gondola Mariachis trajinera of live music drink, while all views, impressions, and appreciate the variety and the time in line with the city that is unlike any other.

But first, left so little money, you can instead stay at the hotel – has choice of boutiques and shops of stores, such as silver articles, Indian design, handmade carpets and fabrics ponchos and capes serape, and certainly, leather goods, masks and figures made of wood, onyx, obsidian and ceramics.

Different types of systems imperceptible noise and music, colonial palaces and skyscrapers, slums, and museums in the world, and makes green looks dirty … Co-exist in Mexico … But all that is alive, very touching and real, especially for what we ask, surprise, the investigation and the moment we enjoy it allow this city! Would you like my stories and impressions? It’s up to you, but the only way to check to go there, where to stay near the ocean recreation wonderful collection of event the breath from the past to the heart – in Mexico.
