Spectacular Aztec Sites in Mexico
Mexico and the surrounding areas have very long histories filled with indigenous people and their traditions, just like here in the United States. Ancient structures, speakers of ancient languages, and ancient art still exists in Mexico, and it has played a large part in shaping the culture there. These ruins rival those in Egypt in terms of being able to take your breath away, and they are definitely something that needs to be seen at least once in someone’s life. If you are planning a trip to Mexico or Central America anytime in the near future, definitely take the time to visit some of the most famous of these sites. However, before you go, you will need an urgent new passport or a US passport card.
Passport cards are a relatively new addition to the world of travel documents, and you will see just how convenient they are. Not only are they much cheaper than passports at only $45. The passport card differs from the regular passport book in that it can only be used for certain areas and only if you decide to drive or take a boat in. If you go by plane, you will have to use the regular book. Also, it can only be used to travel to Mexico, Canada, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. It’s also very easy to apply for an online pasport, which means you will not have to travel anywhere to apply for one.
The borders of modern-day Mexico encompass an area that once included both the Aztec and Maya empires. The capital city of Mexico – Mexico City – is actually the exact location of the ancient Aztec Capital city of Tenochtitlan. In the middle of Mexico City is the ruins of what was the famous Templo Mayor. They’ve only recently excavated it, and new things are still being discovered all the time. That being said, it’s probably one of the most important locations in all of the empire, making it a very important stop if you are interested in the indigenous heritage.
Teotihuacan is a very important and very famous Aztec ruin. The Aztecs believed that this was the place where the universe was created by the gods, and it contains some of the largest monuments in the world. The famous Pyramid of the Sun, the third largest pyramid in the world, is located here. The city itself is bigger than Rome. The main thoroughfare is called the Avenue of the Dead, and the Pyramid of the Moon sits at one end, while the Citadel is at the other. Definitely be sure to also see the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, which features feathered serpents in the stone.
Cholula is just a little ways outside of Mexico City. This particular city and the people who lived there were instrumental in Aztec history, making a very important appearance when a massacre orchestrated by Cortes took place here on his way with the conquistadors to Tenochtitlan.
There is no shortage of indigenous history to explore during your trip to Mexico. Just be sure to have your urgent U.S. passport with you. Make your life easier and get your online new passport. Online passport sites make this quick and easy.
