Mexico

Mexico, the third-largest country in Latin America, is a country in the southern portion of North America bordering to the North by the United States; to the South and West by the Pacific Ocean; to the South-east by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and to the East by the Gulf of Mexico.

Home of Tacos, Tequila, Sombreros and Aztecs, Mexico offers a fantastic mix of Mesoamerican cultures, contemporary arts and Spanish traditions, colonial architecture, vibrant colours, and plenty of history. You will also find Mexicans are the friendliest people, eager to share their wealth of history and abundance; they are genuinely a warmhearted culture.

Food is a massive part of Mexican culture. As you walk the streets,  you’ll inhale the tantalizing scents and aromas of Mexican dishes, from street food to the more classic comfort dishes.
