Mexico City is the capital and largest city of Mexico, as well as one of the most important metropolises in Latin America. Located in the Valley of Mexico, at an approximate altitude of 2,240 meters above sea level, this city stands out for its rich history, cultural diversity and its role as the political, economic and cultural center of the country. With a population that exceeds 9 million inhabitants in the city itself and more than 21 million in its metropolitan area, it is one of the most populated urban areas in the world. Mexico City combines colonial architecture with modern skyscrapers, and is home to numerous museums, theaters, parks and archaeological sites, such as the Templo Mayor and the nearby Teotihuacán archaeological zone. Its importance also lies in being the headquarters of government institutions, prestigious universities and a vibrant artistic and gastronomic scene that attracts millions of tourists each year. Furthermore, its geographical location in a valley surrounded by mountains and volcanoes gives it a temperate climate with well-defined seasons, which makes it special and unique in its regional context.
