Mexico travel guide

Travelling in Mexico will give you an experience you are unable to get from any other country on the planet. Here is a quick Mexico travel guide to give you an idea of what the country is and how it operates.

Mexico is one of the largest countries on the planet and covers an area of nearly two million square kilometres.

The nation has 32 separate states, of which the capital is the Federal District. This is where the government is located.

Almost 100 million people live in Mexico, and although the official language of the country is Spanish there are also more than 60 Indian languages spoken. The official currency is the peso but you will find many shops and businesses are happy to trade in American dollars also.

The climate is normally quite hot, with temperatures averaging out to be somewhere between 24 and 28 degrees Celsius. There is not normally too much variation in the temperature so you will be able to enjoy good weather regardless of the time of your visit.

Make sure you travel smart when you visit Mexico. The country has had plenty of issues with drug trafficking in its history and this had escalated in recent times to a particularly violent drug war. While tourists are not normally dragged into the fray, make sure you get the latest travel advice from your government before travelling through Mexico.
