Mexico is a country full of magic, from pre-Colombian icons such as Palenque, Chiche Itza and Teotihuacan, passing by the colonial era period in cities like Puebla, Veracruz and Guanajuato, natural landmarks that include rainforest and waterfalls in Chiapas, to the most contemporary cities like Mexico and Monterrey.

Furthermore, Mexico is rich in culture, traditions and cuisine, and needless to say, and excellent nightlife.

Nightlife
Nightlife in Mexico is world-famous! Here you can find any kind of vibrant club, pub or restaurant, opened until late at night. Music and dance in all its forms flourish here, and folk musicians can frequently be found entertaining passers-by in parks and streets.

Cuisine
Each region of Mexico offers a wide variety of traditional dishes known for their intense and varied flavors, colorful decoration, and spices. Most of today's Mexican food is based on pre-hispanic traditions, combined with culinary trends brought by the Spaniards. Some of the most internationally recognized dishes are tacos al pastor, quesadillas, and enchiladas. Mole Poblano, and Chiles en Nogada are typical from Puebla; Cabrito and Machaca are from Monterrey in the north part of Mexico; Cochinita Pibil form the Yucatán Peninsula, Tlayudas from Oaxaca and Pozole from Guerrero, down in the south.

Traditions
In Mexico as in many other Catholic countries, the Day of the Dead is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. The modern view of death derives in part from Pre-Hispanic times, as the Aztecs had various perceptions of their world and believed that after a person died, his/her soul would pass through nine levels prior to their final destination, Mictlan - the place of the dead.

Many customs are associated with this celebration, from having altars at home with an offering of death person’s favorite food and drink, to celebrating at the cemetery as it is done in Mixquic at Patzcuaro.
