Mexico
Mexico is a land of extremes - from rainforests to vast deserts, tropical beaches to snow-covered volcanoes. United by a multitude of indigenous cultures, archaeological masterpieces, a rich history (and even pre-history), and quaint villages, Mexico is the perfect destination for today's traveller. Mayans aren't the only indigenous people of Mexico. Some 53 Indian language groups exist throughout the country, mainly in the south, but some large groups- notably the Tarahumara- are found in the north around the Copper Canyon region. Mexico's most fascinating treasures are its amazing archaeological sites scattered around the country. Located just 30 miles outside of Mexico City, Teotihuacan was once the most powerful city of the New World, built more than 2000 years ago! Palenque is found in southern Mexico, its temples rising mysteriously out of the jungles. Add grand cities, beautiful cathedrals, fascinating customs such as the Day of the Dead and Semana Santa (Easter), and authentic Mexican food - mix that with the friendly and hospitable Mexican people - and you now have a world-class destination that caters for all tastes.
