We discover the many faces of this fascinating city that has been called home to an array of peoples and cultures; the evidence of which is the archaeological sites temples and ruins of the mighty Aztec Empire sharing ground with Spanish colonial buildings and monuments, and modern art galleries that showcase the works of well-known Mexican artists. Beautiful mountain sceneries of waterfalls, forests and cacti line our route as we travel to Puebla and we enjoy a stop off at Cholula en route to see the largest ancient pyramid in Mexico. In the final days of our adventure, we manage to spend time in Oaxaca, which has been inhabited since at least the time of Christ; we journey past tobacco and banana plantations, and along scenic plateaux to the Caribbean coast; and we walk in the footsteps of the ancients at the massive archaeological site of Teotihuacan.
