GUANAJUATO
Nestled
in the mountains of the Sierra de Guanajuato lies the beautiful colonial city
of Guanajuato. The city was founded in 1554 next to one of the richest silver
mining areas of Mexico. The 16th-century mining boom led to the construction of
beautiful haciendas and fine colonial buildings. Guanajuato streets and many
colorful alleyways spread out in every direction while most of its traffic is
served by a network of underground tunnels making it an excellent city for
pedestrians.Map of tourist attraction in MEXICO

LOS CABOS
Los cabos is a lively 20 mile beach area at the
southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. The white sandy beaches backed
by sophisticated resorts, restaurants, bars and other attractions run from
spring break destination Cabo San Lucas down to the quieter San José del Cabo.
Los Cabos is a great destination for water sport aficionados with some of the
best all-around sport fishing in the world. In the winter, whales can be
observed in the Pacific ocean.

PALENQUE
Palenque
is an archaeological site that was located on the western edge of the Maya
empire in the present-day state of Chiapas, Mexico. Palenque is much smaller than
some of its Mayan neighbor cities, but it contains some of the finest
architecture and sculptures the Maya ever produced. Most structures in Palenque
date from about 600 AD to 800 AD including the Temple of Inscriptions, the only
Mesoamerican pyramid built as a funerary monument.

The
Copper Canyon is in fact a network of canyons which
together are several times larger than the Grand Canyon. The most popular way
to explore the Copper Canyon is on the “Chihuahua al Pacifico” Railway. The
track passes over 37 bridges and through 86 tunnels, rising as high as 2,400
meter (7,900 feet) above sea level featuring spectacular views of the canyons
below.
TULUM
Tulum is situated on the
east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. It once served as the major port of the
Mayan city of Coba. Tulum was built around 1200 AD when the Mayan civilization
was already in decline and therefore lacks the elegance of some other famous sites.
The tropical beach backdrop however makes this a stunning top attraction which
should not be missed. Accommodation can range from simple cabanas to the 4 star
hacienda-style resort of

Chichen
Itza is the largest of the Maya cities in the Yucatan Peninsula and one of
Mexico’s most visited tourist destinations. The most famous landmark of Chichen
Itza is the temple-pyramid of El Castillo. The design of the temple has special
astronomical significance. Each face of the pyramid has a stairway with 91
steps, which together with the shared step at the top, add up to 365, the
number of days in a year. Other highlights of Chichen Itza include the Great
Ballcourt and El Caracol, a circular temple which served as an astronomical
observatory.
