The United Mexican States, or simply Mexico, is one of the ancient centers of Indian culture. The world-renowned Mayan, Toltec, and Aztec cultures were all created by Mexican Indians. Mexico is located in the southern part of the North American continent. It borders the United States to the north, Guatemala and Belize to the southeast, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest.
Mexico City records too much history and culture. Much of Mexico's history of change from the Aztec civilization, to the Spanish colonial period, and then to a modern country is reflected in the streets, buildings and museums of Mexico City.
Mexico is located in the tropics and its summers are very hot, so it is recommended to avoid traveling in summer.
Every year, from October 31st to November 2nd, the entire country celebrates the Day of the Dead. This is a representative festival and well worth a visit, though it can be crowded and relatively expensive. Visiting Mexico City in March will reveal a different kind of city, filled with jacaranda trees. The scenery is also stunning in May and June, when the heat is still mild. It's the perfect time to enjoy the beach and the rainforest.
