TODAYS MILEAGE – 125 miles / 201 kilometres
TRIP MILEAGE – 14,131 miles / 22,742 kilometres
We had a brief stop at the Centro Cultural Tlatelolco (University Cultural Center Tlatelolco) to check out the ruins of Piramide De Tlatelolco (Tlatelolco archaeological site) and the Templo de Santiago Apóstol (Church of Santiago Apóstol).
Archeologists recently discovered a 700+ year old pyramid within the visible temple and that pyramid has design features similar to pyramids found in Tenayuca and Tenochtitlan. The discovery may prove to be the first mixed Aztec and Tlatelolca construction found in Mexico.
