Culture
Mexico is a country with a wonderfully complex legacy of pre-Hispanic cultures established in Mesoamerica, some dating back 3,000 years. Visit the Mayan World to experience the majesty of Chichén Itzá and Uxmal in the Yucatan, Palenque and Bonampak in Chiapas, or Tajin and La Venta on the gulf coast.
Cuisine
Mexican cuisine covers every taste and texture known to Mankind: sweet, savoury, spicy, crunchy and everything in between. Flavours in Mexico are the language of local heritage, where spices and herbs are used in age-old recipes and daring modern formats to create intense, irresistible flavour combinations.
Beaches
Four seas touch Mexico, diversifying the beachfronts into truly inspiring offerings. Surf on the big waves, sail on the calm waters, or find a palapa to enjoy the good life. There's a different landscape everywhere you go, so you'll always feel invigorated when you venture onto a new seafront.
Activities
Mexico has the best natural and cultural settings to do all kinds of activities. The exciting eco-tourism of places like Xplor and Xcaret Park lie seamlessly alongside luxurious top-end resorts; a balance that distinguishes Mexico from the rest of the world. Visit powerful waterfalls, explore underground cenotes or take an off-road horseback trek. Whatever you choose, you'll discover unparalleled natural beauty: wildlife, springs, and endless swathes of emerald vegetation.
Shopping
Urban areas are home to big-name stores offering clothing, shoes, beauty products, perfumes, toys, electronic goods and more.
