Then the tour passes through the centre of Mexico City, discovering along the way the mixture of indigenous and Spanish culture in its streets and buildings. We'll make our way to the Metropolitan Cathedral, the largest in Latin America, and one of the best examples of colonial architecture on the continent. And we'll learn the history of Mexican political life as we get close to the National Palace, the seat of political power in for the last five hundred years.
