UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES
Burgos cathedral is an example of Gothic architechture, which is why I find it important. Gothic architechture is now an uncommon sight, but was once widely used.
PREHISTORIC CAVES OF YAGUL AND MITLA
The caves are located in Mexico, and contain both domesticated plants and cave art. This site is important, as it provides evidence of when man shifted hunting and gathering to farming.
Portobello-San Lorenzo is an example of Spanish military architecture. The structure is important as it shows the Spanish presence in Mexico and the effect it had on the local area.
MONARCH BUTTERFLY BIOSPHERE RESERVE
The biosphere reserve is located in Mexico. The biosphere is important since it contains the largest population of the monarch butterfly in the Eastern portion of Mexico.
ANCIENT MAYA CITY AND PROTECTED TROPICAL FORESTS
The site is located in southern Mexico, namely in the Yucatán peninsula. The site is important as it shows how a Mayan city would have looked at the civilization's peak.
