Please enjoy this digital photography tour of the 2002 Aztec Dance Celebration at IXCATEOPAN, Guerrero, Mexico. This is the resting place of the remains of Cuauhtémoc, the last Aztec emperor, murdered by Hernan Cortés. On February 28, 1525, during an expedition to Honduras Cortés ordered Cuauhtémoc to be put to death by hanging. According to legend his "restos" were returned to his birthplace, the village of Ixcateopan, in the hills of Guerrero state. Each year in late February a festival in his honor is held featuring Aztec dancers from around Mexico. The church is unique in that there are no Christ or Virgin images, only those of Cuauhtémoc grace the walls. The town is noted for its' marble street paving and fine hillside vistas.
