We invite you to a photo walk through the lively country of Mexico, which gave the world more than thirty UNESCO monuments, among which, in addition to remarkable Mayan or Aztec buildings, there were also fields of agave in Tequila and the whale sanctuary of El Vizcaíno. Inseparable for the state between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean are also small mariachi orchestras, fantastic food or their own traditions, for example during the Day of the Dead. Explore the island with the peaceful atmosphere of Isla Mujeres, sightseeing to Palenque, Becan, Balamka or places like Cristóbal de las Casas, Tulum or Bacalar.

To visit four archaeological sites with Mayan ruins was enough to set out to explore some of the cities. We make a stop in San Cristóbal de las Casas, about which some visitors express themselves as one of the most romantic cities in the world and a magical city. The wealth of this city lies in its ethnic diversity and colonial tradition with architectural treasures in various buildings from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.

Oaxaca is the last stop in Mexico that we would like to mention. At first I did not know how to pronounce it properly, "Oakhaka", but it was probably the nicest city on the way to Mexico that we had visited. However, our journey there was quite adventurous, said mildly.

After the Mayan ruins of Tulúm, Becán and Balamku, we are going to visit the last one in Mexico, the ones in Palenque. The first one, however, comes to Escarcéga. It is really just a city to sleep, because there is not much to see, just a few hotels and a long queue at the ATM.
