Cacahuamilpa Caves National Park is a breathtaking geological wonder. Renowned for its vast limestone cave system, the caverns' cascading peaks, stalactites, and stone pillars transform under the light, creating a dreamlike spectacle. Walking through the caverns feels like stepping into an underground cathedral, where stalactites hang from the ceiling like curtains, and stone pillars stand solemnly like guardians. The darkness resonates with the echoes of time. The caves, considered sacred by local indigenous peoples since ancient times, were later developed into a tourist destination. Slowly descending from the entrance, you'll pass through chambers like the "Goat Hall," "Lovers' Kiss," and "Cathedral Hall," each corner steeped in story and legend. The faint vapor in the air and the echoing of the rocks create a sense of journeying through history, almost as if you can hear the low chime of stone bells nestled within the rock faces.Taxco de Alarcon · 16.1 km from Taxco

It was originally a refuge for the Aztec wanderers, and later became a summer retreat for the wealthy Aztecs. Formerly used as a military academy, a weather station, it is now a Museum of History (Museo Nacional de Historia). Located in Zone 1 of Chapultepec Park, the in-house museum showcases a long period of history. The symbolic objects of various periods are fascinating. In addition, the museum also has exquisite murals, such as panoramic murals in the sixth exhibition hall. In addition, a large number of paintings, photos and documents are collected here.Mexico · Mexico City

The temple, which sits at the center of the Aztec world, was destroyed by Spanish colonists in 1521 and is now in ruins. There is a museum in the Great Temple, displaying the remains of archaeological discoveries, which is a good demonstration of the ancient civilization of the Aztecs. Entering the ruins of the Great Temple, people can approach it layer by layer along the route excavated by archaeologists. Next to the ruins is the 4-story Museo del Templo Mayor (Museo del Templo Mayor).Mexico · Mexico City

On Saturday morning, I took a walk in Mexico City, where traffic suddenly became less, and the air suddenly became better. I walked 2.5 kilometers and felt the joy of exercise. I saw many people in the park area on holidays, and I saw children happily visiting the zoo. Although there were not many animals, the natural ecology was well maintained.

Chapultepec Castle is a truly unique place. It is the only royal castle on the American continent, having served as a military fortress, royal palace, and presidential residence for centuries, and is now a historical museum. This weathered castle sits atop the lush Chapultepec Hill, overlooking the entire city.

The Great Temple is located next to the central square. It is a super convenient attraction. The original temple has been destroyed by Spanish colonists. Only the tower base and stone steps remain, but the architecture of that time is still amazing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
