A journey to the blood gods of Mexico

Amazing Chichen Itza and Teotihuacan contain a bloody history of human sacrifice. Chichen Itza is an ancient ruined city with traces of two cultural eras. Chichen Itza was built by the Mayans as a large city filled with temples, blood vessels and sacrificial wells used for human sacrifice to secure the favor of the gods.

Chichen Itza is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and one of the world's 7 new wonders, and the Mayan city is full of dramatic tales.

Teotihuacan is an ancient city with temples and pyramids. Teotihuacan is also on UNESCO World Heritage List and is best known for the two large pyramids, the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon.

Both historical ruins are a must on your trip and tour to Mexico if you are interested in history or just want to have a great experience by stepping into dramatic tales from the distant past.

Death is not sad, and the Day of the Dead is a day of celebration for Mexicans. At the beginning of November, they decorate and celebrate the Day of the Dead.

The Day of the Dead, or 'Día de los Muertos' in Spanish, is a traditional Mexican holiday where it is believed that the souls of the deceased return to the earthly world to visit their loved ones.

Families in Mexico spend these days honoring and remembering their deceased ancestors and friends by making colorful altars known as 'ofrendas'.

Graves in cemeteries are also decorated for this holiday, and many families even bring picnic baskets to the cemetery and spend time at the grave sites to remember and celebrate the departed.

There are also festive parades where people dress up as skeletons and wear colorful masks, giving the festival a lively and festive atmosphere rather than a somber one.

The Day of the Dead is a celebration - and you can feel it if you are lucky enough to travel to Mexico during this holiday.
