Mexico: Wonderful Mexico
Highlights
Mexico is a country of contrasts, friendly people and endless travel options. If you are looking to find the real Mexico...good luck! It has been said, over and over, that there are many Mexico's, so the search for the real Mexico ends in many different places. Mexico is much more than beaches, sunsets and margaritas. Mexico is a country where modern manufacturing plants can be seen from ancient cities, where the next desert dune gives way to a beautiful beach, where rituals and craft making skills have been passed down for centuries. The capital city, one of the largest cities in the world, is built directly over an entire ancient city. Telephone repairmen and construction workers are constantly discovering artifacts from Aztec times under the streets of Mexico City. Contrasts such as this are the norm in Mexico, not the exception.
