Mexico Must See Places?
Anyone have a list of Mexico must see places? My trip will start in September and I'm open to suggestions of where to go, what to do, what to see.
Cheers

For me, the highlight of my travels in Mexico was Chiapas, the southernmost state. I really enjoyed the city of San Cristobal de Las Casas: a colonial city high in the hills, surrounded by pine forest. About 20% of the population is indigenous, and there is plenty to see and do in the area. You can do a side-trip to the ruins of Palenque, about 4 hours away. Magnificent stoneworks and pyramids - well worth a visit.

Chiapas!
Spent 3 years in Chiapas and you MUST NOT MISS:
AGUAS AZULES
PALENQUE RUINS
They are only abour 2 hours apart on the same road. And of course: San Cristobal de las Casas! Did you know it was the capital of all Central America at that time??
