Heart of the Americas: Mexico’s Soulful Traditions and Tastes

Mexico is a place of memory, movement, and magic. It's a country where pyramids touch the sky, Afro-Mexican rhythms echo along the Pacific coast, and meals become sacred rituals. With every turn—through bustling markets, mystical mountains, and sunlit streets—Mexico reveals its soul: layered, resilient, and deeply human.

Why visit Mexico?

Mexico excites with the pyramids of Teotihuacán, cenotes in Yucatán, and mariachi nights in Guadalajara. In the Costa Chica of Oaxaca and Guerrero, however, Afro-Mexican communities are reclaiming their visibility. Traditional dance, oral storytelling, and spiritual practices connect travelers to Africa’s enduring mark. In Veracruz, a former slave port, festivals and foodways reveal a deep-seated Afro-Caribbean identity now rising in national pride.

in Mexico

Mexico City

Mexico City is a capital of contrasts—where Aztec ruins sit beneath colonial cathedrals, and high art meets street food. Visit the ancient Templo Mayor, stroll through vibrant neighborhoods like Coyoacán and Roma, and explore the city's Afro-Mexican heritage through museums, galleries, and festivals that honor its overlooked history. Whether attending a cooking class, visiting the Frida Kahlo Museum, or watching Danza de los Diablos, the city invites both learning and wonder.

Teotihuacán – City of the Gods

Just outside Mexico City lies one of the most awe-inspiring archaeological sites in the Americas: Teotihuacán. Walk the Avenue of the Dead, climb the towering Pyramid of the Sun, and reflect on the sophisticated civilization that once made this city a center of power, astronomy, and artistry. Local guides—many of them descendants of Indigenous cultures—bring history to life with stories that deepen your connection to this sacred ground.

Costa Chica

Stretching along the Pacific Coast from Oaxaca into Guerrero, the Costa Chica is the epicenter of Afro-Mexican identity. In villages like Cuajinicuilapa, music, dance, and oral history preserve the legacy of Africans brought to Mexico centuries ago. Visit cultural centers, attend traditional drum circles, and engage with elders who are reclaiming their history with power and pride. For diaspora travelers, the Costa Chica offers a moving, often overlooked connection to African presence in the Americas.
