Cuicuilco is an ancient city inside modern Mexico City. The solidified lava and ashes from the last eruption from the near Vulcano "Xitle" are covering most of the buildings. The most spectacular is the circular pyramid, dedicated to the god of the wind. It is believed that the reason to be rounded is to show respect, in that shape opposes less resistance to the wind. The lava covering the surroundings gives the opportunity to reflect how fragile is our existence on this planet. The old civilization saw the eruption as a punishment from the gods because they didn´t respect the environment building this city. In the place are corridors surrounded by huge lava stones filled with holes like sponges, with extense vegetation like "Palo loco" (crazy stick), nopal, maguey and the iconic "Oreja de burro" (Echeveria gibbiflora). The singing from the birds in the background adds a special effect during the visit.
