Mexico is the Americas' most culturally rich and diverse destination — a country of ancient Mayan and Aztec civilisations, Caribbean turquoise beaches, extraordinary cuisine (the first national cuisine in history to receive UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status) and one of the world's most extraordinary capital cities. The Yucatán Peninsula alone could fill two weeks and never become repetitive: the glittering Caribbean Hotel Zone of Cancun, the Mayan world wonder of Chichen Itza (one of the New Seven Wonders), the pristine cliff-top ruins of Tulum above turquoise sea, and the extraordinary cenotes — vast crystal-clear underground swimming holes in ancient limestone caves that the Maya believed were sacred portals to Xibalba, the underworld.
Mexico City is one of the world's great cultural capitals: the Teotihuacan pyramids dwarf everything in Egypt for sheer dramatic scale, the Frida Kahlo Museum in Coyoacán is endlessly moving, and the food markets of the city are a UNESCO-recognised cultural institution. EternalMiles Mexico packages from India cover the country's best.
