Mexico was home to some of the world's great ancient civilizations. The Olmecs, Zapotecs, Mayas and Aztecs left their imprint on the land. Visiting their cities and temples fills the visitor with wonder at these ancient cultures. These civilizations had many traits in common, such as: a writing system; a calendar; a ballgame; the custom of building temples on "pyramids" or platforms and agriculture (cultivating mainly corn, beans and squash).

Mexico has also the distinction of being the American country with the most places (25) registered on the World Heritage List. Some are already popular tourist sites; others, are off the beaten path but undoubtedly merit the extra effort to visit and admire.

These ancient cultures are perfect inspiration to develop customized theme parties at any of Mexico touristy destinations.
