    Ethnobotanic Garden: by coracoronel, Views[207]
         		 A young man reads a book from the upper part of a sidewalk. The hubbub of Madero Avenue, Latin America's busiest one, doesn't seem to bother him. Finding a place for oneself in a city with a population of more than 8 million can be easier than expected, if a person looks for the right place with some creativity.: by fernandopichardo, Views[388]
         		 The spacious courtyard of a colonial mansion located in República de Cuba Street is now used as a parking lot, clothes dryer and even as an oratory. When the city outgrew its original limits during the past century, a great number of constructions in downtown were abandoned or occupied by lower class people. It is still possible to feel the old glory of this building when you visit it.: by fernandopichardo, Views[1078]
         		 A woman and a child ask for money outside of the main entrance of the Metropolitan Cathedral. Even though Zócalo Square is considered the political, religious and historical center of Mexico, marginalization rates in the surrounding areas are extremely high. This is a place where all kinds of people meet.: by fernandopichardo, Views[407]
         		 A 'conchero' dancer is getting prepared for the ceremony he is about to perform. It is common to see street artists doing rituals based on Pre-Columbian beliefs outside the ruins of Templo Mayor.: by fernandopichardo, Views[334]
     
    This serpent's head made of stone observes the rush of hundreds of pedestrians everyday. Carved in the times of the Aztec Empire, it was set as an ornament for the Palace of the Counts of Calimaya in the 18th century. Now this building hosts the Museum of the City of Mexico.: by fernandopichardo, Views[532]
         		 A forest of lily pads cover the rolling green hills of this underwater garden. This Cenote is incredible in its contrast with colour and life in the garden and the darkness of the caves. : by rexy, Views[818]
         		 The Cenote Aktun Ha nicknamed 'The Carwash' provided a spectacular underwater garden at its entry and hid two cave systems off either side. Returning to the garden was a steep slope that rewarded you with beautiful silhouettes.: by rexy, Views[440]
         		 Technically a cavern, most cenotes do not require a Cave Certification. This sign (and the quickening darkness) was enough to give me the jitters, which made it difficult to point my torch and hold the camera steady! : by rexy, Views[258]
         		 You reach this spectacular view after coming out of a series of darker tunnels. Though there is always natural light, the urge to swim quickly 'towards the light' is strong. : by rexy, Views[261]
     
    On the stunning Yucatán Peninsular of Mexico, numerous Cenotes, or sinkholes, reveal underground pools of freshwater and caverns to explore. This ladder is at the Cenote Calavera, nicknamed 'The Temple of Doom' in Tulum. Most people take the 3m plunge to enter the water, but for some, this ladder is more appealing. : by rexy, Views[453]
         		 Top of the Rock! NYC!: by rexy, Views[117]
         		 Hierve El Agua, hot springs near Oaxaca, Mexico are a beautiful site and great retreat for both locals and tourists alike.: by mexico_unplugged, Views[2977]

         		 The Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral is the oldest and largest Cathedral in the Americas. During the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, the conquistadors frequently build their chapels of over Aztec ruins.: by mexico_unplugged, Views[2523]

         		 Minitan is a small community in Oaxaca. Most of its habitants are Afro-Mexicans, even though they don’t define themselves as such. In Mexico African-descent people were not considered as as a distinct ethnic group (unlike the indigenous) because over the years they had lost much of their identity and traditions. But being with them, it is easy to recognize a warmth and joy that you feel from elsewhere.: by gabrielage, Views[1934]
         		 Fishermen go out in the morning and return in the afternoon. They are allowed to fish commercially only 4 months a year, but they continue to fish the rest of the year for family consumption. Many young people now see no future in fishing and emigrate to the United States, those who remain say they like to fish because it fills them with a quiet sense of peace.: by gabrielage, Views[350]
     
    One of the things I remember most about this place is its food. Without using an enormous variety of ingredients, the women manage to create remarkable flavors in their cuisine. The African tradition of porting just about anything on the head makes its way into the kitchen of Divina who has the particular custom of eating directly from a plate precariously balanced upon her head.: by gabrielage, Views[392]
         		 Gloria is the mother of two children. Her husband, like many men in the area has emigrated to the U.S. Gloria also lived in the US for a brief period. In the end, she didn´t feel gringa or Mexican, and ultimately decided to return to Minitan.: by gabrielage, Views[333]
         		 This photo was taken when this group of children returned from school. That day (like many others) the teacher couldn´t come, so they decided to go swimming and cut mangos. I thought those days they learned much more than being in the classroom.: by gabrielage, Views[420]
         		 A message from two people that have managed to leave a positive mark on this world: Madiba (an international symbol against apartheid and a hero to many) and my mom (a teacher for 30+ years). Maybe it's time to start listening… : by mau, Views[330]
