Long before there was a country called Mexico, this land was home to rich and thriving civilizations: the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Zapotecs, and later the Mexicas—builders of Tenochtitlan, a city of canals and temples where modern-day Mexico City now stands.
In 1521, Spanish conquerors arrived, and everything changed. From this fusion of worlds, Mexico was born. The road to independence was long, but in 1821, the country became a sovereign nation. It’s a young country in global terms, yet it carries thousands of years of wisdom in its soul.
Today, Mexico is known not just for its history, but for its warmth. Its people are generous, creative, and endlessly resilient. We carry the joy of life in our music, our food, our colors.
We believe in family, in faith, and in celebrating every moment—even those marked by loss, like the beautiful tradition of Día de los Muertos, when we remember those who came before us with flowers, candles, and laughter.
The Virgin of Guadalupe is another pillar of Mexican culture. A symbol of unity and devotion, her image lives in homes, taxis, altars—and in the hearts of millions.
Mexico is more than a destination. It’s a feeling—a deep sense of identity, memory, and joy.
We hope you take a few days to experience it with us.

Mexico City is one of the oldest and largest cities in the Americas—vibrant, complex, and full of life. It’s a place where ancient history meets modern energy, where street tacos coexist with world-class museums and lush parks.
Because of the altitude, the air is thinner and sun exposure is stronger—wear sunscreen and stay hydrated, especially when walking or sightseeing.

If you're new to Mexican cuisine, this list is your perfect starter pack. Bold, colorful, and full of tradition—each bite tells a story.
Try a Mexican Coca-Cola
You might’ve heard the rumors... and they’re true: Mexican Coca-Cola is considered the best in the world. Why? It’s made with real cane sugar, not corn syrup like in many other countries. That gives it a cleaner, smoother, more nostalgic flavor.
