In Mexico has been launched the “Corruption Tour” by bus, during which guides tell travelers about places related to bribery & other crimes.
In the course of the excursion, the attention of tourists is drawn, in particular, to the monument Estela de Luz (“Pillar of Light”) established in 2011 in honor of the 200th anniversary of Mexican independence from Spain. The company that worked on its construction was suspected of overestimating the total cost on several million dollars used for the construction from steel. This unique monument Estela de Luz Mexico City is part of the new cultural heritage of Mexico.
