Mexico Travel and Tourism Guide

Mexico is a country located in North America, bounded on the north by the United States; on the south and west by the North Pacific Ocean; on the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and on the east by the Gulf of Mexico.

Covering almost 2 million square kilometers, Mexico is the fifth-largest country in the Americas by total area and 14th largest in the world, respectively. With a population of almost 109 million, it is the 11th most populous country and the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world.

In 2005, Mexico was considered by The Economist to have the 10th richest economy in the world. In 2007, the Mexican Carlos Slim attained the title of richest man in the world.

Mexico is also home to over 60 indigenous groups, making it one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world. Among these groups are the Mayans: a very intelligent people who are predominant in the Southern states of Yucatan, Campeche and Quintana Roo. Their ancient cities and temples can still be found throughout the Yucatan Peninsula and down parts of the eastern coast. Don\'t forget--the Mayas are the proud creators of the only \"official\" wonder of North America: Chichen Itza!

An ecologist may stand in awe at all the ecosystems to be found in Mexico: these vary from mountain ranges to deserts, from mangroves to tropical rainforests. Further, Mexico is a land of megabiodiversity. Mexico is a paradise! Come and ejoy it!
