Explore the country's stunning landscapes, eclectic wildlife and rich culture as well as sublime beaches and a delicious cuisine - and enjoy Mexicans' perpetually warm welcome and sunny disposition.

Discover the ancients of Mexico from Aztecs to Zapotecs, Olmecs to Toltecs. Learn about their civilisations and customs and visit the remains of their ancient sites, from vast pyramids to sublime statue columns.

For a taste of indigenous Mexico, come to Oaxaca. This gorgeous state boasts beautiful colonial architecture, a primordial eco-system that draws botanists from all over the planet, fascinating ancient historical sites and is also acknowledged as the gastronomy hot-spot of Mexico. Furthermore, as the indigenous capital of Mexico, it boasts a vast array of languages and customs enhancing the intricate cultural landscape. 

Finally, take time to explore Mexico's bustling capital city and, nearby, the venerable site of Teotihuacan, whose ancestry is a subject of heated debate.
