LOCATION

Mexico City lies on the American continent in a scenic valley of Distrito Federal. Mexico has worked to preserve its historical beauty and natural landscapes while establishing itself as a dynamic and versatile modern city in the heart of the country. It boasts a number of historical landmarks and artistic treasures, among them the "Teotihuacan Pyramids", the "Xochimilco Lake", the "Chapultepec Forest" and several museums.

While the history of this city holds great importance, Mexico also features an abundance of first-class recreational facilities. With its mixture of historical, cultural, and recreational offerings, Mexico is a city that holds something for everyone. It is a unique travel experience that should not be missed.
