The Aztec and Mayan civilizations thrived within Mexico's borders. In Mexico you can find many archaeological sites with vestiges of their culture, including but not limited to pottery and ancient pyramids (i.e: Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza).

Also, after the fall of Tenochtitlan, the Spaniards founded many cities with a distinctive architecture called "Colonial Cities" that look very much like New Orleans or Madrid, Spain.

Geography:

Mexico has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, ranging from white-sanded beaches like those found near Cancun and the Mayan Riviera to rocky, violent-sea coasts good for surfing like those near Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos or Mazatlan.

As Mexico is in a subtropical latitude and has a rather rugged terrain, it has some of the most varied climates in the world: from the dry, arid deserts of northern Mexico to the humid tropical forests to the Yucatan peninsula; there is also temperate climate where the height allows for it. For example, Mexico City at 7349 ft, has a temperate climate much like that found in San Francisco or Los Angeles.
