Overview:

Mexico is a country bursting with life - the people are vivacious, the landscape strewn with historical gems and the nightlife tequila fuelled.

Mexico City, the capital, is teeming with activity and has a population of more than 20 million people. It is also a great starting point for learning more about the country's cultural past - the Plaza de las Tres Culturas celebrates the three major cultures that have shaped Mexico: there are Aztec ruins, the 17th-century colonial church of San Diego and several late 20th-century buildings.

Where the Caribbean Sea meets the Yucatan Peninsula, coral reefs come alive, with sea creatures, great and small. Whilst the desert is home to agave, the mother of all tequilas and the blue plant has a lot to answer for in Acapulco and Cancϊn, where humans come ashore after a day in the surf to flirt in bars and nightclubs.
