Nicoletta has listed her top ten archaeological sites in Mexico that the visitor shouldn't miss. Do you have a favorite? Tell us what site or sites you would pick for your list and why! My Favorite Mexican Site

Xunantunich

I've visited this place four times now and enjoy it more every time. There are some ruins, but more than that, Xunantunich bills itself as an archaeological theme park. There's a great beach with snorkeling, a butterfly farm, a recreation of a Mayan village with a daily show, and my favorite part - an underground river that flows through several cenotes that you can float along (with complementary life-jacket). There are several animal exhibits. Xunantunich is an easily reachable tourist exhibit and a favorite for Cruise Ships docking at Costa Maya.

Teotihuacan

I could spend years wandering around Teotihuacan and never get bored. My favorite building is the Temple of the Butterfly Quetzal (Quetzalpapalotl Temple) with all of its murals and sculptures. Plus I never get tired of walking up and down (and up and down and up and down) the avenues, and I love the gift shop. And the view from the Pyramid of the Sun is amazing.
