MEXICO
Curving from northwest to southwest, Mexico encompasses picturesque colonial pueblos, desert national parks, snow capped volcanoes, steaming jungle and some of the most exceptional beaches in the world.
On the Yucatan peninsula lies the thriving resort of Cancun, a 20 mile long resort zone featuring glamorous clubs, duty-free shops, gourmet restaurants and helicopter tours. Out at sea lives the second largest coral reef in the world.
To the south is a magical 100 mile stretch of coastline known as the Riviera Maya, where by far the most impressive ruins are those of the fortified town of Tulum. The Riviera is also home to the most celebrated of the Mayan cities -Chichén Itzá - recently voted one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.
Wherever you go, there’ll be welcoming and friendly locals enjoying themselves. Mexicans love life. The people are vivacious lovers of free time and socialising, and work will never have the importance that friends and family do.
