Does a US passport have to be valid for 6 months past the date of travel to Mexico?

This depends on whether you are concerned about entering Mexico or returning to the USA. Since Mexican tourist permits are generally issued for 180 days, if your passport will expire before you come back, then yes, your passport should be valid for six months past the entry date. But if you are asking whether the Mexican government has such a requirement, the answer is no.

There is some confusion about this. The US Consular Service website say yes, but the Mexican government immigration websites say nothing about the length of validity, unless you are applying for a visa for lucrative activity. I have never heard of anyone being denied entry as long as their US passport was valid when they entered Mexico. However, your passport must be valid when you return to the USA.

How does Geography play a role into Mexico City's problem?

Overpopulation, irresponsible consumer habits and geography create a "perfect storm" in Mexico City that allows pollution to be the problem it is there.

The city sits in a valley surrounded by mountains. Smog from manufacturing and chemical plants as well as vehicle exhaust fumes get trapped by the surrounding mountains due to lack of any powerful-enough winds. This makes up the layer of gloom that sits over the valley due to a "cook-pot effect".

This smog can cause burning in the eyes and throat of visitors not used to it within a few days, especially in those with sensitivities to pollutants.

Do you need a electrical converter in Ixtapa Mexico?

Most places in Mexico adhere to the NEMA 1-15 (2 flat pins) standard. Some others use the American-adopted NEMA 5-15, which includes the third, ground pin. If you are from the U.S. you shouldn't have any trouble to plug your appliances/electronics, but in case your appliance has three pins, you should bring a converter just to be on the safe side.

If you have the European Standard or any other type of connector, you should buy a power converter, as the power grid uses a 110-120 Volt and most European appliances would not charge or work properly.

What is Mexico's quality of life index?

Mexico is an "emerging market", "developing country" or "newly industrialized country" because although it is the tenth largest economy in the world (USD$1,845 billion for 2013), it has an ongoing industrialization, where agriculture activities are still important but are rapidly being outpaced by industrial (specially manufacturing) activities. This means Mexico is not fully developed, as many regions within the country have a quality of life equivalent to those of Western Europe, whereas there are other regions with education, life expectancy and economic advancement equivalent to those countries found in Sub-Saharan Africa.

For instance, the Human Development Index (HDI) is a ranking created by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to measure countries or regions according to three basic population parameters: health, education and income. For Mexico, which is composed by 31 states and one federal district, the Federal District and Nuevo Leon had the highest HDI in 2004 (0.8837 and 0.8513, respectively), while the lowest corresponded to Chiapas (0.7185) and Oaxaca (0.7336). As a comparison, the Federal District and Nuevo Leon indexes are equivalent to those of the Czech Republic and Lithuania while Chiapas and Oaxaca correspond to those of Vietnam and Iran.

On a municipality level, these contrasts are much more dramatic: The Benito Juarez district (Federal District), the San Pedro Garza Garcia municipality (Nuevo Leon) and the San Sebastian Tula municipality (Oaxaca) have the highest HDI in Mexico (0.9509, 0.95, 0.9204, respectively) which correspond to the life quality levels of Norway, Australia and Spain. By contrast, Tehuipango (Veracruz, 0.4985), Coicoyan de las Flores(Oaxaca, 0.4768), Batopilas (Chihuahua, 0.4734) and Cochoapa el Grande (Guerrero, 0.4354) correspond to the quality of life of Madagascar, Haiti, Kenya and Benin.

How much water does an average Mexican use every day?

Mexico is a country of great contrasts: 96% of urban households have tap water service, while rural areas are covered by only 72%. All in all, 88.7% of all homes in Mexico have access to tap water.

You should note that availability also depends on specific regions, as some states within Mexico have an excellent coverage, while others are faring poorly. This is regardless of climate (dry vs. humid) and is highly correlated to the economic development of each state:

  • Distrito Federal (capital: Mexico City): 97.5%
  • Nuevo Leon (capital: Monterrey): 96.9%
  • Baja California (capital: Mexicali): 95.3%
  • Chiapas (capital: Tuxtla Gutierrez) 73.8%
