Street View Mexico
Mexico has broad Street View coverage and an unusual amount of it at archaeological sites, many captured on foot. The country is large and varied enough that the imagery changes character completely between the desert north and the tropical south.
City guides
1 written guide for Mexico, each with the streets worth walking and the views worth opening.
What the coverage is like
Cities and the main highway network are covered thoroughly, and secondary roads well beyond that.
Archaeological sites are a genuine strength. Teotihuacan, Chichen Itza, Palenque, Monte Alban and Tulum were all captured on foot, so you can walk between the structures rather than look at them from a car park.
The colonial towns of the central highlands are largely pedestrian in their centres and were shot on foot for the same reason.
Worth opening beyond the city guides
Guanajuato, built in a ravine, where much of the through traffic runs in tunnels under the city because there was nowhere else to put it.
Oaxaca, and Monte Alban on the flattened hilltop above it.
San Cristobal de las Casas in the Chiapas highlands, at 2,200 metres and colder than most people expect Mexico to be.
The Copper Canyon in Chihuahua, a system larger and in places deeper than the Grand Canyon.
Places to open
4 locations in Mexico, each one a single click into Street View at the right spot and facing the right way.
