This tour takes you into the lush, tropical region of Mexico - a region that produces fruits such as papaya, mango, banana, coconut, pineapple, guava, citrus and other tropical vegetation. The ruins of El Tajin are probably the most extensive pre-Columbian ruins in Mexico. The predominant building is known as the Pyramid of 365 Niches. It is believed that the ball game may have originated here, since some 23 ball courts have been discovered on this site. The Voladores, sometimes called The Flying Indians, originated here and the religious dance is still performed atop a pole extending some 100 feet into the air.
