Mexico is a hub of different interests and cultures. People who
travel to Mexico will witness many rich and diverse cultures and
entertainment. From museums and opera houses to idyllic beach
resorts, travelers in Mexico will definitely not ask for
anything more.

Probably one of the places that people who travel to Mexico will
surely enjoy are the beach resorts outside the capital city. At
the top of the list is Acapulco, which is sometimes referred to
as the Riviera of Mexico for its hotels, casinos and beach
resorts. The Acapulco is a very popular tourist destination
where one can also do deep-sea fishing as well as other water
sports. Another haven for people who travel to Mexico is the
Mazatlan, which frequently holds the international fishing
tournaments as well as pre-Lenten carnivals. Hunting and fishing
are also things that will interest people who travel to Mexico.
One can also find in Mazatlan an observatory and one of the
tallest lighthouses in the world. Other beaches that travelers
in Mexico should not miss are the Cancun Island, the Puerto
Vallarta and the Los Cabos.

Traveling to Mexico also opens the door to a world of arts and
drama. With its many museums, Mexico is one of the most
important museum destinations in the world. The Chapultepec Park
houses several of these celebrated museums; the most important
of which is the National Museum of Anthropology. Other museums
that travelers in Mexico should also visit are the Museum of
National History, Snail Museum, Technology Museum, and the
Museum of Modern Art, which boasts of the finest collection of
Mexican painting including those of masters such as Diego
Rivera, Jos� Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Rufino
Tamayo. Children will also enjoy the Mexico City Zoo and the
Papalote, a children's interactive museum.

Traveling to Mexico will not be complete without visiting the
Basilica de Guadalupe, which marks the site of the Virgin
Mother's appearance in 1531. The Metropolitan Cathedral is
another travel destination within Mexico. With its baroque and
neoclassical fa?ade, the church is a great example of
architectural art forms.

Another Mexican architectural masterpiece is the Chapultepec
Castle, which once served as presidential residence. The castle
also features the murals of Mexican painter Juan O' Gorman as
well as the Memorial to Infant Heroes. Los Pinos, which is the
official residence of the Mexican President, is also on the
grounds of the Castle.

Monuments abound in the Paseo de la Reforma, a tree-line
boulevard that houses Mexico's landmarks. Travelers will surely
love the monuments such as the Angel of the Independence, the
symbol of the country's national identity, Cuauhtemoc Memorial
and the Diana Cazadora, the statue of Diana the Huntress.

What is traveling to Mexico without shopping for souvenirs? The
Zona Rosa or the Pink Zone is an ideal shopping paradise. Within
the area are restaurants, boutique squares, shops and hotels.
Another shopping district is the Alameda Park, which borders the
Palace of Fine Arts.

History fanatics will also love traveling to Mexico's famed
religious city of Teotihuacan, the capital of pre-Aztec
civilization. In Teotihuacan, travelers to Mexico will find the
Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon, two pyramids
that face each other, providing a great view of the surrounding
regions from the top.
