Puebla, built in 1532, is one of the oldest European settlements in Latin America, and is known as the "City of Ninety-Nine Churches." Examples include the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, completed in 1649, which has the tallest bell towers in Mexico, and is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the country. Santo Domingo Church is known for its Baroque altars and was originally part of a Dominican monastery completed in 1611. Also we learn of Talavera Pottery, which is famous among Mexican crafts. These colorful ceramic tiles and artifacts with strong Moorish influence are a type of majolica earthenware still manufactured with the same techniques as in the 16th century. Coatepec, in the heart of Mexico's coffee region, has the flavor of Old Mexico and is home to the neoclassical style church Virgin Lady of Guadalupe. Then we visit Posada Coatepec Hotel, one of the most charming haciendas in Mexico, with peaceful gardens, original paintings and tiled rooms decorated with antiques, which offer history with a warm welcome.

Three of the Caribbean's most popular places to visit are highlighted in this program. First port of call is Ocho Rios, Jamaica, where people delight in bargaining with the Jamaican craftspeople; then, everyone holds on to climb its famous 600' cascade. Next stop is the island of Cozumel in Mexico. After a visit to its only city, San Miguel, it's off to Chichen Itza and its magnificent Mayan pyramid where we learn how the Mayans used this pyramid in astronomy as a sundial; the temple on top was used in celebration of the equinoxes. The program ends with a trip to Stingray City at the Grand Cayman Island. People are always excited to come here to feed and be safely among stingrays in their natural habitat.

Called the "city of eternal spring" because of its temperate climate, Cuernavaca has been a popular vacation retreat for centuries and was the summer residence for Aztec rulers. Just outside the city is Teopanzolco, an ancient city built around 700 AD and abandoned by 900 AD, and once a trading center for native peoples. We visit the Pyramid of the Plumed Serpent where a guide explains how the carvings on the walls were necessary for the Mesoamerican calendar. Nearby is Hacienda San Gabriel, built in 1529 under orders by Hernan Cortes. It has been a sugar cane plantation and a monastery but now is a luxury hotel with an art collection from around the world that enhances the historic atmosphere of the buildings. Back in the city, we see the Palace of Cortes, built in the 1530s in the Renaissance style, and now the city's museum. The most revered building in Cuernavaca is its cathedral, the Church of the Assumption, still a functional church and a center for the community. The open Chapel of San Jose is original to the site and was a place for the unbaptized to congregate. Also once a part of the monastery is the Robert Brady Museum. This American artist and collector bought the property in 1962 and lived the remainder of his life there and donated the property and its contents to the city at his death. The star of his art collection is "Self-Portrait with Monkey" by Frida Kahlo, and there are lithographs, textiles, masks and other colonial Mexican art as well. Just as Aztec rulers and Cortes have enjoyed the ambiance of the city over the centuries, we can also get the royal treatment at Hosteria Las Quintas Resort and Spa to highlight our lovely visit to Cuernavaca.
