Its incredible and truly admirable, that the old Hispanic cultures had the great desire to excel and to be the best among the best ones. It is this restlessness that made them to be true torches that provide their heat and light of wisdom, since they went ahead of the occidental culture hundreds of years in many aspects.

As a tribute to our Hispanic Cultures of Mexico was constructed this great work called PLAZA DE LAS CULTURAS (CULTURES PLAZA), pride of the Mexican, State of Coahuila and Piedras Negras people.

In this plaza you will be able to find a mixture of cultures such as Mayan, Olmec and Aztec, with which you will be able to enrich your knowledge about the customs, thoughts, ideologies and symbolisms of our roots.
