Mexico is a beautiful and colourful country that attracts countless travelers due to its rich diversity, spectacular nature, thousands of years of history and warm hospitality.  Mexico is one of the 17 most biodiverse countries in the world and is home to over 200,000 animal and plant species.

The country stands out above all, for its countless landscapes. From deep impressive canyons in the Copper Canyon, vast cactus deserts in Baja California, snow-covered ash-spitting volcanoes and mountain ranges in central Mexico to tropical rainforest and pristine beaches in the south of the country, everything a traveler’s heart desires can be found here. The highlights of Mexican architecture are a mixture of pre-Hispanic and colonial elements. The imposing archaeological sites of ancient civilizations which can be found mainly in the south of the country as well as the picturesque colonial towns and «Pueblos Mágicos» in the heart of the country will captivate your imagination and inspire your soul. The country’s national holidays are festive, exuberant and unique involving colourful customs, centuries old traditions and of course delicious food. One such example is «Día de Muertos» which has now gained international recognition. Mexican cuisine is also an absolute highlight. The variety of dishes are based on the mixture of indigenous and European culture and in 2010 Mexican cuisine was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Mexico’s slogan «a world of its own» underlines the uniqueness of this special destination.
