Scuba Diving in Mexico - San Luis Potosi

The idea behind Sectur’s (Mexican Ministry of Tourism) project is to show that Mexico is much more than just sun and beach. Converting quaint, culturally rich towns into visitor-friendly destinations, the government wants to make sure they retain their authentic Mexican charm, which is ultimately what sets them apart from other destinations.

{mosimage}Travel Mexico and its magnificent archelogical sites. Teotihuacan arose as a new religious center in the Mexican highland, around the time of Christ. Although its incipient period (the first two centuries B.C.) is poorly understood, archaeological data show that the next two centuries (A.D. 1-200) were characterized by monumental construction, during which Teotihuacan quickly became the largest and most populous urban center in the New World. By this time, the city already appears to have expanded to approximately 20 square km, with about 60,000 to 80,000 inhabitants.

Travel Mexico and travel in time. In Zacatecas nearly all of the city center buildings are nineteenth century or older; the topography and irregular street pattern (most streets are too steep and narrow for vehicles; many have steps in them) almost make one think of a medieval city like Toledo, Spain. The city, built on the site where silver was discovered in the 1530s, is crammed into a narrow canyon, with houses and churches perched on its nearly vertical walls.

About an hour’s drive east of Comitan is Lagunas de Montebello National Park (opened daily from 8:00 a.m. till sunset, entrance only US$1.75 per person), a striking array of lakes, lagoons, and small, medium and large ponds whose colors famously range from emerald green to pale blue, from deep purple to reddish black.

Taxco is a beautiful city built on a hill. It is rich with old and new silver mines, it has narrow streets and hundreds of silver shops. At the middle of the city there is a Colonial Plaza with a Basilica that it absolutely beautiful dating back to the 1700's.
