Travel Mexico

Mexico is a land of contrasts. From the vibrant colors woven into our textiles to the stunning hues of its landscape. From mountain ranges that run right down to the ocean's edge to lush tropical jungles and high snow capped volcanoes.

The original people of Mexico had advanced knowledge of science, mathematics, astronomy and medicine. That past still permeates this land. It can be found in the traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. It lives on the arts and music. And in the peculiar philosophy about life and death that make the Mexican people so unique and so charming.

So whether one comes to explore the archaeological treasures, wander through the colonial cities, or simply relax on the beautiful beaches, rest assured, one will take home memories and some of the magic of M?xico as well.

Mexico has a wealth of natural and cultural resources due to the diverse climatic conditions and to a historic tradition of more than 3,000 years. This makes the country an ideal destination for international tourists.

In 1994, 7.2 million foreign tourists visited the country. This number increases to 17.1 million if one counts the foreign visitors that crossed the border zone. Approximately 20 million tourists visited M?xico in 1995. Of these, 80% come from the United States.

The tourism from Europe, and Scandinavia in particular, has increased over the last few years. In 1994, 843 thousand European visitors chose M?xico as the destination of their voyage; among these 29 thousand people were from the countries of northern Europe. These statistics compare favourably with those of 1992, when a flow of 584 thousand European tourists was registered, including 18 thousand from Scandinavia.

Mexico offers a great variety of options for the international tourist. These can be grouped into five main areas: Mayan World, Beaches and Recreational Centres, Archaeology and Prehispanic cultures, Colonial Cities and Architecture and Natural Riches Eco Tourism & Adventure. These groups are not exclusive and some travel options can combine two or more themes.

A considerable number of airlines offer services to M?xico City and Guadalajara, and national airlines join most of the cities in the interior of the country. In addition, various cruiselines visit Mexican ports.
