Mexico: A Travel Survival Kit

<p>Mexico shares a border with the USA but culturally it is light-years away from its northern neighbour. One of the largest Latin American countries, Mexico is a contrast of extreme poverty and wealth; it combines Aztec culture blended with the more recent Spanish influences that followed the arrival of Cortes in 1519.</p> <p>Today Mexico offers a way of life that is relaxed and casual - sometimes frustratingly so! It can be counted on to give a friendly reception to visitors.</p> <p>Doug Richmond has travelled extensively in Mexico over many years. An experienced and budget-conscious traveller he provides in this book just about all you need to know to explore Mexico on your own with the maximum enjoyment and minimum expense.</p>
