Snapshot:

Mexico's attractions include its historical sites, archaeological ruins, fiestas, beaches, fishing, water sports (scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing), golf, bullfighting, shopping, handicrafts, music, dance, relaxation and moderate prices.

If you're interested in a unique culture and enjoy sand, sun and surf as well as history, dance and music, you'll love Mexico. Do be aware that you may fall prey to an upset stomach or other illness that can occur where sanitary conditions are less than optimal. You should also be prepared to see extreme poverty. If you become unhappy when service isn't prompt and efficient, you may not enjoy a trip to Mexico.
