Mexico

Mexico occupies a vast stretch of North America where geography and history collide in very visible ways. Ancient civilizations such as the Maya and Aztecs left monumental sites that still shape entire regions like the Yucatán Peninsula. Large cities like Mexico City sit on top of earlier settlements, layering colonial architecture, pre-Hispanic ruins, and modern urban life into the same space. Along the coasts, places like the Riviera Maya and Baja California developed around beaches and resort infrastructure, while inland towns preserve slower rhythms tied to local traditions, markets, and religious festivals. This combination of archaeological depth, strong regional identity, and varied landscapes explains why Mexico supports radically different travel experiences within a single country.
