Mexico has enchanted travelers since the time of the conquistadores nearly five centuries ago. An old Spanish saying advises that if you wish to bring back the treasures of the Indies, you must take with you some treasure first – know the place before you venture forth. InsightGuide: Mexico allows you to do just that; it is a gem no Mexico-bound traveler can do without. Mexico’s ancient and modern wonders beckon: from the mysterious pyramids built by the Mayas and Aztecs to the high technology of the 20th-century oil boom; from the jet-set hedonism and sunworshipping of Acapulco to the remote Indian villages whose denizens really do worship the sun. This book brings to life the swirling contrasts of an amazing Latin-American country. Its 380 pages of lively text and stunning irnages, assembled by Apa Publications’ team of writers and photographers, will provide indispensable expertise for even the most discerning visitor.
