About Mexico
After independence, New Spain chose to be named after its capital,
Mexico City.
Countries neighbouring Mexico are:
Belize,
Guatemala
and America; or rather, the states of
California,
Arizona,
New Mexico and
Texas.
Weather in South America:
Local weather forecasts for destinations around Latin America.
Founded in 1524, on top of the ancient Aztec capital of
Mexico-Tenochtitlan, Mexico City is the capital of Mexico and the point of entry for most
international visitors, unless they're going straight to Cancun or travelling overland.

Puebla, San Cristobal de las Casas, Veracruz, Xalapa and the Yucatan Peninsula.

The
Sandos
Caracol Eco Beach Resort sits on the exclusive Mayan Riviera in Mexico, ten
minutes away from the charming village of Playa del Carmen.
This all-inclusive beach
resort is in a naturally beautiful area at the edge of an exotic jungle surrounded by
mangroves and natural lagoons making it the ideal destination for taking things easy.
