~Mexico’s Majestic Colonial Cities
A blend of old and new, an explosion of color, monuments and stone covered buildings in one experience.
An array of majestic cities, jewels of the Spanish colonization era, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are home to a lively colorful world filled with history and culture. The journey begins in the thriving metropolis of Mexico City. Amid pre-columbian excavations, imposing colonial buildings, and ultramodern skyscrapers, a vibrant mestizo culture integrates the ancient with the modern world.
Rich minerals and Catholicism promoted the establishment of splendid cities dominated by sumptuous baroque churches. Morelia, the aristocrat of the cities built with pink quarry stones; Guanajuato, an explosion of color perched on hillsides; San Miguel Allende, a picturesque cobblestoned delight; Queretaro, monuments that tell stories; Puebla, treasures housed in tile and stone-covered buildings; Oaxaca, the perfect blend that creates a most captivating city. Arqueological sites are a testimony to the origin of Mexican culture.
Reserved indigenous people in colorful dresses living in charming quaint villages maintain simple lifestyles filled with tradition and produce magnificent crafts known worldwide. Exquisite Mexican cuisine culminates the experience.
