Destinations: Mexico: Mexico City and Central Highlands
Details
Most people think of the streets of Rome or Paris as the most important cultural centers in the hemisphere, but Mexico City is equally awash in monuments, cathedrals, museums, parks and antiquity. It was built literally on top of the old Aztec capital, Tenoctitlan.
Surrounding Mexico City are the six states of Central Highlands with plateaus that range from 4000 to more than 7000 feet above sea level. Active and extinct volcanoes pepper the landscape amongst towering mountain ranges that make the peaceful backdrop of some of the most romantic colonial cities in the Blissport portfolio. With the climate commonly characterized as “eternal spring” any time is a good time to go to the Central Highlands.

Put Puebla on your itinerary and while she’s taking in the scenery and soaking up the sun at the pool, you could be rappelling from Cacahuamilpa grottoes or feeding your inner car enthusiast with the Puebla Automobile Museum’s collection of rare and classic vintage cars. Heck, while you are out you might as well check out the collection of unique train components like a pair of PA1 diesel engines at the nearby train museum and visit the biggest soccer stadium in the city, "Cuauhtémoc", with a capacity of 49,914 and home to the 1968 Olympic Games and 1970 and 1986 World Cups.
Planning a honeymoon that takes in the best of Mexico City and the dramatic beauty of the nearby Central Highlands and its colonial villages provides all the romance, shopping, sightseeing, fine dining and adventure that is made of modern fairly tales. She’ll love a stroll down the narrow cobblestone streets of San Miguel de Allende, white water rafting the Amacuzac river or exploring the incomparable beauty of the underground rivers and Cacahuamilpa grottoes.
