Mexico

Mexico is located in North America, bordered to the north by the United States, to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean, to the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea, and the east by the Gulf of Mexico. It’s a country with diverse landscapes, ranging from deserts and mountains to tropical forests and beautiful coastlines. Mexico serves as a bridge between North and Central America.

Mexico is famed for its melding of indigenous and Spanish cultures, resulting in vibrant traditions like the Day of the Dead and mariachi music. Its varied landscape boasts beaches, mountains, and historical sites like Chichen Itza. Renowned for dishes like tacos and guacamole, its cuisine is globally celebrated. The energetic pulse of Mexico City epitomizes its rich heritage and modern aspirations.

Safety in Mexico varies by region. While tourist hubs like Cancún and Mexico City are generally safe, some areas with drug cartel activity pose risks. Travelers should avoid certain parts, exercise caution at night, avoid protests, use trusted transportation, and avoid displaying wealth. Staying in tourist zones is advised. Always check travel advisories and ensure you’re insured before visiting, and get in touch with the World Endeavors team if you have any specific safety questions.

Mexico had an estimated population of around 126 million people.
