Mexico
DestinationsMexico is the southernmost and least developed of the three North American countries. It is unique in its location since it shares a long, porous border with the United States, the richest nation in the world, that is partly described by the Rio Grande. It also boasts more than 6,000 miles of coastline and a varied geography that ranges from lofty mountain ranges to seaside beach resorts with aquamarine waters, to arid deserts, to ancient, long-forgotten Mayan habitats.
The principal language here is Spanish, although English, and particularly "Spanglish" - a mix of Spanish and English - are commonplace along the border towns and cities such as Tijuana.
