Where the giant atlantes stand watch
Tula, in the state of Hidalgo and about 2 hours' drive from Mexico City, is the site of ancient Toltec ruins and pyramids, topped by giant figures or atlantes. Set among fields of cactus it is a great place for a spot of nature photography too.
The archaeological site has a museum and some stands selling local handicrafts where you can buy miniature Toltec warriors and whistles.
