This brand new edition Insight Guide to Mexico features outstanding full-colour photography, alongside illuminating explorations of all the places to go in a region-by-region format, covering everywhere from Mexico City and the Gulf Coast to the less well known tourist areas in the North of the country. Major attractions, such as the Maya ruins and the Copper Canyon are highlighted to help you plan priorities for your trip; all places of special interest are cross-referenced on full-colour maps throughout the guide, so they can be quickly pin-pointed as they are mentioned in the text. Additional maps of Mexico and Mexico City can be found within the front and back covers, to provide instant orientation and easy navigation. Clear, colour-coded sections include in-depth features on Mexican history and culture, fiestas, art, food and the local people, alongside a detailed look at the Day of the Dead festival celebrated each November. Also included is a section of practical advice covering accommodation for all budgets, transport, eating out and much more. Useful contact information and many other travel tips are also provided. The unique combination of insightful exploration alongside practical advice means that this guide truly is a pleasure to read before, during and after your visit.
