* Symbol of Mexico's battle for independence from Spain
* Finished in 1910, the construction lasted 8 years
* Height: 36 meters (118 feet)
* Inside the monument: skulls of the heroes
I remember being very exited flying from Cancun to Mexico City knowing that it's the largest city in the World and located so high above sea level 2400 m (7872 feet). I was wondering if the air is breathable not only from air pollution but high altitude.
Will I got a headache, feel dizzy and how cold it's gonna be?
It's true that the flight over Mexico City's urban area lasted very long and I started to wonder when we ever find that landing spot among that densely habitated area!
We did land successfully and none of my apprehentions did realize not even that so feared Cozuma's Revenge (LOL).
