THE PLACE YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW | |

Visiting a different country should be more than just a vacation. Visiting Mexico is not about choosing the best locations but about deciding the kind of experience you would like to add to your life. Think of wandering through lush forests with pristine waterfalls and exotic flowers or discovering small towns with meandering streets facing the mountains. Imagine walking into the jungle to find a pyramid by the sea or attending a concert of a symphony orchestra in an emblematic building of one of the biggest cities in the globe. It only takes a few hours to render yourself to unknown pleasures and enter a totally new dimension of experiences. In the Mexico you still haven’t seen there is a whole new world of possibilities to explore and adventure is yet to come. What more could you want? Turquoise blue ocean, beautiful sunshine, 80 degree temperatures, gorgeous beaches, pools, amazing resorts and ice cold cervesas! If you have never been to Cancun or the Riviera Maya, we guarantee it is more than you ever imagined. From the action and nightlife of the downtown hotel zone to the secluded, romantic resorts along the Riviera Maya, this is truly one of the best places on earth! With a Native American heritage and a distinct Spanish flavour, Mexico is vibrant, colourful and unique. Its varied terrain ranges from cactus-studded deserts to white sandy beaches and blue waters, tropical rainforest and jungle-clad hills to steep rocky canyons and narrow gorges, and from snow-capped volcano peaks to bustling cities. Since the height of Mayan and Aztec civilisations, Mexico has suffered the destructive force of the Conquistadors, European colonial rule, civil and territorial wars, rebellions, dictatorships, recessions and earthquakes. Yet its people remain warm and friendly, much of the countryside remains unspoilt by development, and its cities display a unique style of architecture. The extraordinary history is reflected in the ancient Mayan temples strewn across the jungles and ruins of Aztec civilizations, rural indigenous villages, Spanish colonial cities and silver mining towns, and traditional Mexican ports. Buildings display a unique combination of colonial and pagan architecture, blending together Art Nouveau, Baroque, Art Deco and Native American design into the structure of their churches and public structures. The country's culture displays a similar blend of the traditional and modern, where pagan meets Christian in a series of festivals, or fiestas throughout the year. Despite recent reports of drug wars and safety issues Mexico remains a hugely popular and predominantly safe tourist destination. Besides a combination of unique culture and fascinating cities, Mexico also boasts several hundred miles of coastline extending down through both the Pacific and the Caribbean, which has branded the country as a popular summer retreat destination. Beach resort cities such as Acapulco, Cancun and those of the Baja California peninsula are accepted vacation havens. The countryside is also rich in archaeological treasures with pyramids, ruins of ancient cities and great stone carvings of ancient gods standing as testament to a country once ruled by the Aztecs and Mayans. |
