Why Mexico?
Mexico is one of the most fascinating travel destinations in the world — a country that overwhelms with its sheer diversity. On almost 2 million km² (5.5× the size of Germany), it combines an incredible density of experiences:
- 35 UNESCO World Heritage sites — more than any other country in the Americas. From the Pyramids of Teotihuacán to the colonial old town of Guanajuato to the gray whale biosphere reserve
- Two millennia of high culture — Maya, Aztecs, Zapotecs, Olmecs. Over 29,000 archaeological sites, 187 open to visitors
- The best cuisine in Latin America — since 2010 UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. From street food tacos to restaurants on the World's 50 Best list
- 9,330 km of coastline on two oceans: Caribbean turquoise in the east, Pacific surf waves in the west
- Over 6,000 cenotes — mystical limestone caves with crystal-clear water, unique in the world
- Vibrant culture — Día de los Muertos, Mariachi, Frida Kahlo, Lucha Libre, Mezcal: Mexico is color, music, and passion
What makes Mexico special is the warmth of its people. Mexican hospitality is legendary — you will be approached, invited, cooked for. In no other Latin American country do tourists feel so welcome. And despite all the headlines about security issues: The tourist regions are well-visited and safe if basic rules are followed.
