    Hidden gems of Mexican archeology

    “A lot of these archeological sites are subject to politicisation. Like Teotihuacán.” Ominous words from Tavo, as this episode was recorded a few days before the tragic anti-tourist shooting at Teotihuacan. Mexico is full of archeological gems. In this episode, Tavo and Alex actually head to some of the country’s less known, but just as spectacular sites, that give Teotihuacan or Chichen Itzá a run for their money.
