Solution

The image shows at the front the monument that commemorates our independence next to a new-Hispanic church, topped by the Latin American Tower, icon of the Mexican modernity of the last century. Three different periods in Mexico that are harmoniously mixed by a background tapestry showing prehispanic greens of Oaxaca. In the back are three iconic elements of Mexican architecture: The Pyramid of the Sun of Teotihuacán, the monument or Stone of the Sun and the Cathedral of Mexico, mixed and illustrated with the aesthetics of the famous Talavera poblana that in itself, is a Fusion of indigenous and European techniques. To understand a contemporary Mexico is to undoubtedly merge these three periods of our history.

Culturally speaking, Mexico is one of the most important destinations worldwide with a huge variety of natural and architectural sites to visit. This is due to the diversity of climates that have the territory, which over time have created a great offer for national and international tourism. Come on! They really will NOT regret it. The story that tells my proposal is the beauty that can arise when mixing several important cultures.
