Mexico is a country of diverse and ancient cultures, rich in tradition, history and religion, yet with a modern economy and tourism infrastructure. Mexico dates back approximately 10,000 years with its first known culture, the Olmec, creating the first civilization around 1500 B.C. Modern Mexico can be said to be a blend of two cultures originating from the Spanish conquest of the Aztec civilization in 1521.

The country is bordered by Guatemala and Belize to the south and the United States to the north. Four bodies of water surround Mexico's shores: the Sea of Cortes, Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Covering an area of 761,000 sq. miles, Mexico is roughly three times the size of Texas.

Mexico is currently divided into 31 states and a federal district
