Mexico

© Hacienda Uayamon

Frida Kahlo's colourful country

Mexico is a vast Latin American country brimming with natural and cultural riches. A land of contrasts, it offers in the North the Sonoran Desert prickly pear cactus and canyon plateau; to the North-West the Lower California with its luxury cliffside hotels; in the centre of the country, a host of haciendas and colonial villages; to the east, the mysterious Mayan cities of Chichen Itza, Palenque you Tulum ; and mythical beaches on its 2 coasts with Acapulco and Cancun. Whatever the route taken; money route Taxco à Las Vegas ; Whale route of the lagoon San Ignacio in Cabo San Lucas ; Route of the Haciendas in Yucatan ; Route of the Lagoons in the Chiapas ; route of colonial towns linking San Miguel de Allende to Mexico City ; The change of scenery is total, colours and flavours are present, the welcome is sincere and warm. An hacienda, a pretty table, candlelight, the sound of mariachi guitars, and you will forever be marked by Mexico.
