Compass: Mexico

“Mexico is a mosaic of different realities and beauties.”

– Enrique Pena Nieto

Mexico is a country with a rich history, tradition and culture. Known for its tequila, Mexico is the third largest country in Latin America (after Brazil and Argentina) and it is comprised of 31 states and one federal district. Travel to Mexico, the place is paradise for travelers as it offers everything – rocking nightlife, coastal beaches, a walking tour of ancient architecture, lip smacking Mexican dishes and much more.

Although there have been shifts in society and politics over hundreds of years, there remains evidence of early civilizations throughout Mexico. Indigenous people whose lifestyles reflect their ancestors still inhabit Mexico’s rural areas. Likewise, Mexico‘s many pre-Columbian ruins still exist including the ancient city of Teotihuacán and the Mayan pyramids at Chichén Itzá and Tulum.

Today, reflections of Mexico‘s colonial past can be seen in the architecture of towns like Taxco and Querétaro. Today, Mexico is a tourism economy with many people flocking to coastal cities.

Travel to Mexico and relax on its wonderful beaches. Sample the flavor of Mexico (also known as “El ombligo de la luna” – the navel of the moon) and discover the civilizations that have formed today’s Mexico state from the Toltec and Olmecs civilizations to the  Aztecs and Mayans.
