Mexico is a traveler's paradise, crammed with a multitude of opposing identities: desert landscapes, snow-capped volcanoes, ancient ruins, teeming industrialised cities, time-warped colonial towns, all-inclusive resorts, lonely beaches and a world-beating collection of flora and fauna. This mix of modern and traditional, the clichéd and the surreal, is the key to Mexico's charm, whether you are looking to lay on the beach, spend your days cruising or marvel at Mayan ruins. There’s so much to do—and so many ways to do it—you’ll be planning your next trip before you ever leave.
