Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Xochicalco (in Miacatlan), Casa Nayaa Mezcal (in Morelos) and Piramide de la Serpiente Emplumada (in San Juan Teotihuacan). The adventure continues: delve into the distant past at Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan, view the masterpieces at Yawi Arte Tradicional, step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, and take an in-depth tour of Museo del Templo Mayor.
