About Mexico
Mexico is the northernmost country of Latin America, bordering the United States, Guatemala and Belize. Its territory holds the heartland of Mesoamerican civilisation, from Teotihuacan and the Maya to the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, on whose ruins Mexico City stands. Today it is the world's largest Spanish-speaking nation, a megadiverse country and one of the most visited destinations on earth.
