Mexico is a huge country, boasting an impressive landmass of 761,606 square miles. The diversity of landscapes here is impressive, from sun-bleached deserts to tropical rainforests, there is something to please everyone.
Aztecs and Mayans made their homes here during the time of pre-Columbian Mexico. European colonists took over the land, wiping out much of the native population. It wasn’t until the early 1800’s that Mexico gained its independence from Spain.
Other attractions
Don’t miss out on the ancient temples of the Yucatan Peninsula, which still stand tall after all these years. Tulum is a particular favorite spot for looking out over the softly crashing waves. Surfing, ziplining and whitewater rafting are offered at several areas around the country. Grab some delicious street food or head to a museum in Tijuana or Mexico D.F., where city life blossoms. Relaxation is key in Mexico. Grab a cold drink and a sun umbrella before heading to one of the country's many pristine beaches.
Getting there
With such an incredible variety of places to explore, flying to your location of choice is highly recommended. Mexico City, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta all have international airports.
