Introduction to Mexico
With steaming jungles, smoking, snowscaped volcanos, cactus-strewn deserts and 10,000 km of coast strung with sandy beaches and wildlife-rich lagoons, Mexico is an endless adventure for the senses. Mexico’s pre-hispanic civilizations built some of the world’s greatest archaeological monuments, adn the Spanish colonial era left beautiful towns full of tree-shaded plazas and sculped stone churches, while modern Mexico has seen a surge of great art.
