Mexico is a country of contrasts – from the frenetic capital Mexico City to the tranquility of the Caribbean Island of Holbox, from the dense jungles in Chiapas to the desert of Baja California. It is home to some of the most important ancient archaeological sites in North America.
Mexico City is the capital and largest city in Mexico. It is also the oldest capital city in the Americas. It lies at 2240 metres above sea level. The city’s name is derived from its founders, the Mexica, who are more commonly known as the Aztecs.
In the the summer of 2021, as the world began to peek out from behind closed doors, Mexico was one of the few destinations that had made entry and travel easy.
