Beautiful Mexico

Bienvenidos, Welcome!

On this page I will tell you about my trip to Mexico.If you want to know something of this beautiful country or if you want to visit it then read here all about it! You will find here my impression and pictures and also links to various pages about Mexico.

Mexico, country of the three cultures, a country between the Pacific ocean and the Gulf of Mexico is one of the most beautiful holiday destinations of the world.

On the plateau was the beginning. There the first people lived in the Mexican prehistory; there was the cultivation of maiz; there arose Teotihuacán, the "city of the gods", and started the Spanish invasion. (Click on the pictures to enlarge them!)

Wide avenida's with beautiful Spanish buildings and between modern office-buildings, extensive parks, churches and palaces from the colonial time. The city is located on a 2240 meters high plateau, surrounded by mountains and vulcan's Popocátepetl and Iztaccihuatl, both more than 5000 meters high.

Mexico-city is one of the biggest cities of the world with more then 20 million people.

Except the submerged foundations of the Templo Mayor there is nothing more left from the Aztec City Tenochtitlán. After the conquest from the Indian capital in 1521, Hernán Cortés let everything pull down to build his Ciudad de México, the capital of "New Spain".

In this city you will always see a lot of people and not only on peak hour.Then the 50 kilometres long north-south axis, the Insurgentes, will be overwhelmed by cars. You can not describe a ride by metro on eight o'clock in the morning and five o'clock in the afternoon. You get in or you will be pushing in. But the metro is the quickest and saved way of transportation. And also it is cheap, a ride will cost you 1.50 New Mexican Peso or $0.20.

Mexican taxi Also you can take a cab.

In Mexico-city you will find many historical buildings and places. One of them is Tlatelolco, and especially the Plaza de las Tres Culturas (Plaza of the Three Cultures) synthesizes like no other place, the history of Mexico.

They built almost 30 years on the Palacio de Bellas Artes and was opened in 1934. Inside the building the walls are decorated with paintings from Orozco, Rivera and Siqueiros.

Before you go to the archaeological places you must bring a visit to biggest, the most important and the most beautiful museum of the country; Museo de Antropologia. By the entrance you will be welcomed by the eight meters high monolith of the rain-god Tlaloc.
