It was once the ancient Mayan capital, and now the two-thousand year old monuments make Mexico otherworldly. Driving through colonial towns such as San Cristobal de las Casas and the beautifully preserved Campeche will take you through to sites of ancient ruins and wonder. There’s Teotihuacan, with its Avenue of the Dead, a landing strip-sized passage through looming pyramids. And then there’s Chichen Itza, a still-intact city replete with temples, courts and a sinkhole used for human sacrifice. These are just some of the many cultural treasures Mexico has to offer.
