Located in the center of the country, Mexicos capital is known for
its vibrant and eclectic atmosphere. Mexico City is the cultural,
financial, governmental, and entertainment capital of the country.
There are museums that reflect the rich culture and history of the
country and important art exhibits are shown in a great number
of galleries. Travel is convenient to important towns such as
Taxco, Quertaro, or the magical Oaxaca. Archeological zones are
