about mexico
Mexico, officially the United Mexican States, is a country in the southern portion of North America. Famous for its chilli-spiced cuisine, steamy jungles, teeming cities, fiesta fireworks and palm-fringed beaches, Mexico conjures up diverse, vivid dreams and the reality lives up to them. Grab yourself a margarita scoff-down some tacos and soak-up the blistering sunshine (time for a tequila?)
