The streets, mansions and great religious buildings of Mexico’s major towns will give you a bold picture of the influence of Spanish settlers on this ancient country.
But step into one of the classic archaeological sites at Oaxaca – Monte Alban or Mitla for example – and the ‘Jade City’ will introduce you to a much older civilisation.
At Palenque there are ruins dating back to 100 BC and a cavern with a waterfall and subterranean swimming pool. At Merida and Chichén Itza there are Mayan palaces, temples, bizarre statues and strange deities - whilst Tulum combines ancient history with modern luxury and a sublime beach.
