Mexico is located between the United States and Central America and between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico with a territory of almost 2 million square kilometers.
Its landscape is quite diverse, including mountains, deserts, jungle and a long sea coast.
The country is home to several pre-Columbian civilizations such as the Olmec, Zapotec, Mayan and Aztec and includes some visitable archaeological sites such as Teotihuacán, Aztec and Chichén Itza, the latter of Mayan culture.
Mexico was colonized by the Spanish for many centuries and retains a colonial feel in its main cities, such as Mexico City, its capital.
It is one of the most populous countries in the world with about 126 million inhabitants.
Today Mexico has one of the largest economies in the world and is a regional power. It is well known for the holiday The Day of the Dead, one of the most special dates in the Mexican calendar.
