Mexico City sits in a valley surrounded by the magnificent Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl volcanoes in central Mexico.
Teotihuacan, one of the country’s main tourist attractions, famous for its ancient archeology and known as one of the largest and most complex metropolitan centers of pre-Hispanic Mexico, is just a one-hour drive from the hotel. Its main structures include the Sun and Moon pyramids (photo) and the Quetzalcoatl Temple, dating back to the first century BC.
Mexico City is home to the Xochimilco, a UNESCO World Heritage site (cover photo), traditionally referred as the Venice of Mexico because of its canals, which you can explore in its traditional trajineras (wooden boats adorned with flowers).
The Aztec Empire kings used the Chapultepec Park as their refuge. It was named the first natural reserve in the Americas in 1420. The park is now home to lakes, a zoo and several museums.
The nation’s cultural, geographic and gastronomic richness makes the country an exceptional tourist destination.
