During 2018's Dias De Los Muertos, Mexico City dedicated the Great Offering of Zócalo to honor all those migrants who, in their transit to other lands, had lost their lives, in the same way to all those groups of migrants who have come to this city over time to enrich it and turn it into a true refuge city. This can be seen from right from their own heritage, where the first migrants from Aztlán left in search of a sign, an eagle devouring a snake, which became the foundation of Mexico city in the middle of the lake (as seen on Mexico's national flag) to the opening of doors to refugees in the 20th century. This created a vibrant chilanga identity in the city from Pre-Hispanic times until now. The roots of Mexico City is more relevant now than ever as immigrants traverse through Mexico to the US, another country whose history is filled with the rich heritage of immigrants as well.
At Xochimilco, the ancient canals of Mexico's City, trajineras are steered using long wooden poles where the poles are used to push against the floor of the canal. While you idly drift by in your colorful trajinera sipping your copita of mezcal, you can hear Mariachi bands perform.
The ancient Mesoamerican city of Teotihuacan is to the northeast of Mexico City, where you can visit the Pyramid of the Moon and the Sun.
