Im riesigen Mexiko ist Platz für Unmengen von Wundern. Nördliche Wüsten und südliche Urwälder, gewaltige urbane Zonen oder staubige Pueblos mit nur einer Straße - hier findet man nahezu alles, was an Landschaften und Milieus zu haben ist. Unendlich viele Erlebnisse sind damit vorprogrammiert: buntes Kunsthandwerk kaufen, am Strand liegen, auf Pyramiden klettern, in Riffen schnorcheln, bei einer Fiesta oder im Club feiern, feilschen, durch Nebelwälder irren, im Pazifik surfen. Am besten mixt, man klassische Sehenswürdigkeiten mit Unbekannterem, Unentdeckten, das hier vorgestellt wird - und natürlich mit Plätzen und Orten, die auch wir noch nicht kennen!
