  Xochimilco

  Xochimilco Xochimilco, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, is one of central Mexico's most important archaeological sites. Xochimilco means "place where flowers are sown" in the Huatl language, and it is now Mexico's most important flower market. The crisscrossing canals here seem worlds apart from the bustling city of Mexico. A cruise along the canals in one of the colorful, Mexican-style boats offers a unique experience, allowing you to take in the scenery of Xochimilco.

  National Museum of Anthropology The founding of the Museo de Antropología de Mexico City began with the discovery and preservation of the "Sun Stone," a revered object of the Aztecs. In 1520, the Spanish buried the stone during their ravages of the Aztec capital. It wasn't until 1790 that the stone was rediscovered. It was excavated and preserved as a precious cultural heritage, marking the beginning of the Museo de Antropología's activities. The Museo de Antropología de Mexico City stands out among museums worldwide for its unique and captivating collections. Its collections reflect not only the development of early civilization in Mexico but throughout the Americas, showcasing the glorious history of the American people for the first time to the world. Visitors to this renowned museum marvel at the remarkable achievements of ancient Americans while also shedding long-held historical prejudices.
