About Mexico
Chichen Itza, in the Yucatán, is crowned by the pyramid of El Castillo; at the spring and autumn equinoxes, the setting sun casts a shadow on its steps that looks like a serpent slithering down. Tulum was one of the few Maya cities built beside the sea, and in the jungle of Palenque, the Temple of the Inscriptions held the tomb of the great king Pakal.
In the highlands, Guanajuato's houses are painted in every colour up the hillsides, and the pink spires of the Parroquia rise over San Miguel de Allende. In Mexico City, the Palacio de Bellas Artes is a palace of marble built for the arts, close to the Torre Latinoamericana, and Chapultepec Castle looks out over the trees of the city's largest park. Further south, in Oaxaca, papel picado flags hang over the old streets of Jalatlaco, and at Hierve el Agua mineral springs have turned the cliffs into what look like frozen waterfalls.
On the Caribbean, Cancún's Hotel Zone, a narrow strip of sand shaped like the number 7, runs between the sea and the Nichupté Lagoon. Its beaches, such as Playa Delfines, face water that changes from pale turquoise to deep blue, with the Mesoamerican Reef offshore.
In Michoacán you can also visit Parícutin, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World: a volcano that rose out of a cornfield in 1943 and buried the town of San Juan Parangaricutiro, whose church tower still stands above the lava.
