Portray of the Destination
Mexico City is located in the Central Altiplano area, 2,240 m above sea level; it is worldwide
known because its weather is the best in the world, having an annual average temperature of 22ºC
(71.6ºF).
This city offers many interesting sites, like museums, residential areas, the “Paseo de la
Reforma”, palaces (this city was formerly known as “The City of Palaces”), stadiums, parks, woods,
temples and cultural sites, etc. The Historical Center (where wonderful religious buildings
can be distinguished) and the Xochimilco Ecological Park (known as the “Mexican Venice” due to its
amazing canals) were declared Human Heritage Site by the UNESCO.
Diversity is particularly remarkable in this city; it offers endless attractions for those
interested in the cultural aspects of the region, for those willing to practice extreme sports and
for those seeking to enjoy nature.
