Best of Mexico Tour with Intrepid Part Two: San Cristóbal de las Casas, Palenque and Merida
Hi, it's Leanne and Kevin, and welcome back to the videos. We are continuing our amazing, busy tour with Intrepid Travel, visiting the best of Mexico.
We had some trouble with the weather causing roads to become impassable so we made a long detour through Tabasco.
However, it didn't stop us visiting modern cities and the ancient sites of Palenque and Chichén Itzá. Unfortunately our time in Mexico has come to an end and we flew out of Cancun via Houston, home to New Zealand.
Thank you for watching.

Mexico City, not so scary?
Переглядів 21 тис.2 місяці тому
Hi we are Leanne and Kevin from New Zealand. Most people at home have very little knowledge of Mexico apart from what is shown on the news, so it can feel kind of scary. We travel from Auckland via Houston to Mexico City to soak up all the history and culture. It's not all plain sailing, as we grapple with the language, the altitude, and jet lag. However, that's all part of travelling to foreig...

Come to Los Angeles, New York, Chicago or any big city and go to the bad areas… it’s the same all over the world. Good areas and sketchy areas. Mexico is a beautiful country with good people, but it does have some bad apples… don’t let that ruin your perception of Mexico, or any other country for that matter.

    Mexico City isn't trying to emulate anything, especially not Europe. While the current population may not be predominantly white like in many European cities, it's understandable that some might feel a contrast between the "brown people" and the European architecture and traditions woven into Mexican culture. However, it’s important to remember that Mexico City was once the capital of New Spain, a Spanish Viceroyalty in North America. In a sense, Mexico City was never trying to be European-it was Europe, in a theoretical type of way.

    Mexico City is not trying to look like Europe. Mexico was colonized by Spain and had an Austrian Emperor. That's why you see some Spanish and European influence. Mexico is a mixture of pre hispanic and hispanic cultures among other cultures.
