American Airlines - Mexico

Mexico is a country full of dynamic landmarks, from the specter of busy city life to ancient Mayan structures. Pictured here is small-town Mexico; specifically the Church of Santa Prisca in Taxco de Alarcon, a town in the Guerrero region of Mexico. The busy plaza overflows with diners, townspeople, tourists; even a mariachi.
