History, tradition, and superb scenery combine to make Mexico a unique vacation destination for your family. This is a culture that is neither Indian nor Spanish. The Mexicans have modified Castilian Spanish to their own softer tongue. They've created their own piquant cuisine, based on maize, the corn of the Indians. And they've combined church celebration and market into their own fiesta. The culture is drenched with Aztec, Toltec, and Olmec survivals mixed with Spanish importations. Whether exploring Mayan ruins, penetrating tropical jungles while exploring placid lagoons, or getting to know Mexico's history by exploring its colonial towns, you'll get to experience Mexican hospitality and the friendliness of its people.
