The adventure begins in Cuicuilco. Cuicuilco is a Mesoamerican archaeological zone of the preclassic periodand located in the Valley of Mexico, Cuicuilco could be one of the oldest important populations of the Valley of Mexico, contemporary with the Olmec culture of Tabasco. As far as is known, it was one of the first large religious civic centers of the Neovolcanic Axis, its population probably included all the social strata and cultural features that will characterize the altepetl (city-state) of Classical Mesoamerica. Cuicuilco was destroyed and abandoned after the eruption of the Xitle volcano, causing migrations and rearrangements of the population in the basin of Mexico, the culmination was the consolidation of Teotihuacán as the governing center of the classic period in the Neovolcanic axis. the archaeological site opens every day with a schedule from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. it has an incredible view and is a good cultural option in Mexico City if you do not want to go away it's a good option in the city, there is also there a small museum with everything that you need to know about the culture Cucuilca and the best the enter is free so put your sneakers on because the walk is long if you want to walk the entire site. Around the site there are many options close to eat and buy like Perisur and plaza cuicuilco or another good option to take a picnic in the archeological zone could be very romantic and for that ice cream cravings go to Dairys Queen they offers mouth watering strawberry ice creams that probably you would eat like a ravenous best running rampant out of control.
