The One Thing You Don't Want to Miss
If you're looking for adventure, you will want to head out of the city to
climb Tacana Volcano, 4,093 m (13,643 ft.) high. If that doesn't interest
you, you can hike to the waterfalls of Muxbal and Monteperla. If you
prefer a historic adventure, you can visit the small village of Santo
Domingo, where you'll see a restored 1920s coffee-plantation house. Or
visit the archeological site of Izapa, with more than 80 temple mounds,
offering evidence of both Olmec and early Mayan cultures.

Flavors |
 |
Mexican food varies by region, and this
region offers some exquisite choices. Using traditional spices found
in the early Americas, combined with European ingredients and
techniques, dishes are flavorful, rich and delicious. The food you
find will be nothing like what you've tried at home. Try almost
anything wrapped in a fresh tortilla - meat, chicken, vegetables,
even fish. You'll never want to eat American "Mexican"
food again.
| Currency |
|
| Mexico's currency is the peso (MXN).
The $ sign is used to refer to pesos, so don't be shocked at
the price tags. Any prices in U.S. dollars are listed as US$
or USD. Many hotels, restaurants and shops also accept major
credit cards, which usually offer you a good exchange rate. |
