A diverse place with warm people, unique art and archeology, Mexico has a lot to offer to the travelers, from the pristine beaches on the Oaxaca coast, Cancun, Cozumel and Acapulco – the perfect places for surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling or just laying in the sun – to the spectacular volcanoes in Toluca, the snowy Sierra Mountains or the rainforest in Chiapas.

Besides the natural treasures of the country, more than 50 courses spread around the country are waiting for all you golf aficionados out there.
Nonetheless, in order to get a taste of a true Mexican experience you should see the colonial architecture in Monterrey, Guadalajara or San Cristobal de las Casas, still bearing the marks of Spanish conquistadores.

And in order to fully understand the course of history in this magical land, you must visit the archaeological sites rich in culture belonging to the Maya, Olmec, Tarascan, and Aztec civilizations, such as Teotihuacan (according to Aztec legends, it was here where the gods gathered to plan the creation of man), the majestic temples in Chichen Itza or the Maya city-state of Uxmal.
