Learn about Mayan culture, both ancient and contemporary, their unique customs and enchanting stories.
Intro
Explore the country's stunning landscapes, eclectic wildlife and rich culture as well as sublime beaches and a delicious cuisine - and enjoy Mexicans' perpetually warm welcome and sunny disposition.

This gorgeous state boasts beautiful colonial architecture, a primordial eco-system that draws botanists from all over the planet, fascinating ancient historical sites and is also acknowledged as the gastronomy hot-spot of Mexico. Furthermore, as the indigenous capital of Mexico, it boasts a vast array of languages and customs enhancing the intricate cultural landscape.Â
Finally, take time to explore Mexico's bustling capital city and, nearby, the venerable site of Teotihuacan, whose ancestry is a subject of heated debate.
