TOURS IN COLONIAL CITIES 4 available offers
After the fall of the Aztec Empire the Spanish conquerors took their troops to the north of Mexico to conquer the nomadic tribes which were rich in minerals and metals where they settled new colonies to maximize the production of minerals and metals. This movement gave origin to the first colonial cities of Mexico.
