According to Wikipedia, "a UNESCO World Heritage Site is a place (such as a forest, mountain, lake, desert, monument, building, complex, or city) that is listed by UNESCO as of special cultural or physical significance." On my trip I heard it mentioned that some places I went to were World Heritage Sites, so I wanted to research exactly which ones were on the list. Out of the 890, 29 are in Mexico. Out of those, I went to:
-Queretaro
-Central University City Campus of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Mexico City (we didn't have time to walk around, but we drove through it)
-Mexico City
-Teotihuacan
-Guanajuato
This doubles my previous list, which had included the US sites of Yosemite and the Grand Canyon, and the Belize Barrier Reef (and probably the sites in London, but I don't actually remember them).
I think this would be a fun goal, after looking at the list- to see more of these sites. Maybe I should start planning my next trip... not quite yet.
