Mexico has 34 sites that one day may be included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites. Two-thirds of these have been waiting for more than a decade. Among those on the list is the 44 kilometer Father Tembleque Aqueduct — named for its engineer — at Zempoala in Hidalgo, completed in 1560 and the largest such structure in the country. Mexico now has 27 World Heritage sites, more than any other country in the Americas.
