*Hey Josh, I love going to Aztec and Mayan ruins. I always feel like I am getting ripped off by taxis in MX. I am not sure I could climb all the steps. You are doing a fabulous job on your channel.

This was a fantastic location to finish up our Mexico trip. These ruins were amazing. Yeah, the stairs to that church were a lot - you would really want to go up there in order to do it all the time. You really have to know what a fair price is for taxi's or else they really will charge you whatever - what's why you always agree to a price before you leave when in Mexico!

Crazy how these ancient wonderful ruins are always empty - you have them to yourself! Amazing places to see and explore and learn 👍🙂

Thanks Andre! I am really glad to hear you enjoyed the series! There were so many wonderful things to see on this trip. Mexico has a very bad reputation. And although there is always some truth to it, I didn't see much of it at all on this trip. I had a fantastic time and wouldn't think twice about going back. It's a wonderful land with some wonderful people. It's a shame that poverty is so present there. I think that is one thing that scares people, and realistically, why crime exists to the extent is does. That being said, we never had any issues and we never scared in any of the places we were - even when I was by myself.

Great pitstop at the church, which I always love looking around. High up but like you say, closer to God. The ruins were great and it looked a real hot day, a lot warmer that the cold of Canada lol. Looked a bit spooky in the tombs but still, an awesome visit, cheers Alan

Just another thing not to like about war and religion. Religion is good for a lot of things mind you, but it does take the "I'm right, you're wrong stand" and then we loose beautiful buildings like this due to it.

Thanks. The 2017 average gasoline price in Mexico for regular was 15.8 pesos/liter, or about 60 pesos per gallon, so a 50-mile roundtrip gasoline cost at 25 mpg in 2017 was about 120 pesos.@@DestinationEarth

@@aguazulize One additional note to keep in mind for those looking to take a taxi in Mexico - cabs (especially in smaller communities) are often communal - meaning if you are going a longer route, the driver will pick up and drop off people along the way (helps keep cab fare very budget friendly). If you choose a private ride, that is also an option, but you'll be paying a much higher premium than what is referenced in this video (providing they still use the same systems as they did 6 years ago (2017)).

Good video. But Mitla became the main religious one in a later period as the area became dominated by the Mixtec. It's a zapotec culture. It's not Mayan or aztec. The name Mitla is derived from the Nahuatl name Mictlán, meaning the "place of the dead" or "underworld." Its Zapotec name. 😊

These aren’t Mayan ruins. The Zapotec lived here.
