Southernmost country of North America, Mexico means sun, beaches, and warmth, but also a nation rich in history and discoveries.

Conquered in 1514 by the Spaniards, but still rich in many Native American cultures dating from before Christ, Mexico has become, over the past 20 years, a commercial partner with Canada and the United States.

Considered for a long time as a refugee for pirates, the Yucatan peninsula, located between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, is full of fascinating stories as well as archaeological mysteries. In this area, also known under the name of "Caribbean Pearl", are found more than 50 000 archaeological sites that preserve the Maya civilisations' memories.

Great destination that combines relaxation and culture, it is in part because of the warmth of its inhabitants and its turquoise waters that Mexico has been on the list of Quebecers' favourite destinations for many years now.

The majority of travelers who choose Mexico as their destination do it by interest in the different civilisations that, one after the other, shaped Mexico as it is known today. Among some of them are the Mayas, the Aztecs, and the Olmèques. Mexico is a country to discover and explore in all its magnificence.
