The Pyramid of the Sun was completed in 150 AD and is the third largest pyramid in the world, behind only the Egyptian Pyramid of Cheops and the Pyramid of Cholula in Mexico.
4. Guanajuato
The unique Guanajuato is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city was founded in 1559 on a mountain near rich silver and gold deposits. In 1558, one of the richest silver veins in the northern hemisphere was discovered. This led to the colonialists mining silver for 250 years, which accounts for about 20% of the world's silver reserves. The city's wealth at that time can be seen in the magnificent colonial buildings, squares and monuments.
Palenque
The temples of Palenque, located in the jungle, are one of the most important tourist attractions in the state of Chiapas. The ruins, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are a symbol of the architectural advancement and power of the Mayan culture.
