About Mexico

Mexico sweeps from the deserts of the north to the rainforests of the south, joining North and Central America between two oceans. Its capital, Mexico City, stands on the site of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec metropolis that ranked among the great cities of the pre-Columbian world. Volcanoes, colonial towns, and ancient pyramids share the map in a country whose food, music, and art carry global influence.
