San Agustín Acolman (2)


Source: WTL© digital photograph taken on site at the former monastery of San Agustín Acolman.
Comments: Here is the monastery in its restored 21st century condition as seen from the rustic parking lot. Unfortunately, very few tourists visit this site even though it is only 24 miles NE of Mexico City, and visiting it requires only a slight detour from the main highway that leads from the capital to the much more popular pyramid site of Teotihuacan.
Humanities Question:In what way does this picture suggest a very different geography and climate from what you have already seen in Mayan territory in Yucatán.
