Introduction

Mexico City is destination of epic proportions and has an estimated population of 22 million. The capital has a fascinating mixture of interesting museums, excellent restaurants, delightful squares, lively music, street vendors, serene parks and vibrant street life.

The historic heart of the city is the enormous Zócalo square - which is one of the largest squares in the world. It is surrounded by the presidential palace, cathedral, and the excavated site of the main temple of the Aztec city Tenochtitlan founded on Lake Texcoco.

The city’s markets are worth visiting both for their extraordinarily varied wares but also for a glimpse of the frenetic business activity conducted within. The Condesa and Roma districts are firmly established as trendy nightlife zones whilst the Historic Centre has been transformed into a vibrant cultural quarter with notable old buildings and interesting museums.

Rising above the plains about 50 km north-east of Mexico City is the archaeological site of Teotihuacán. The huge pyramids of the Sun and Moon are extremely impressive; the Sun is the third largest pyramid in the world.

We highly recommend spending a couple of nights in Mexico City at the beginning or end of any trip.

Sinking city

After the conquest, the Spaniards built their new capital, Mexico City from the ruins of Tenochtitlan and gradually filled in Lake Texcoco. However, the unstable lake bed has proved a poor foundation and parts of the city are gradually sinking.

Xochimilco

About 20km south of the centre of Mexico City lie the remains of a unique network of canals lined by gardens. These are referred to as the floating gardens of Xochimilco; passing along the waterways in a decorated punt makes a pleasant and welcome break from the noise of the city (visit on weekdays only for a relaxed atmosphere). Nearby are an ecological theme park and one of the city’s best art museums.

Joe Johnson

Joe is a welcome addition to our Latin America team. He previously completed a 5 month personal trip around South America. His knowledge of the region has been enhanced even further by a 5 week research trip around Argentina, Chile and Costa Rica. However, his passion for travel started long before this. He has visited 53 countries (and counting) and he loves nothing more than discovering the unknown and trying new experiences. Not one for a straightforward beach holiday his main passion whilst abroad is scuba diving but any adventure activity or getting out into the great outdoors is what truly appeals to him. Having spent 5 years with other specialist travel firms he could not have had better experience in crafting the best itineraries.
