A beautiful country teeming with life from Baja, where blue whales play at your side to the sprawling wine vineyards of the Guadalupe Mountains, ripe at harvest time. From the mysterious colored river of Santa Maria to the amber granite of Enchanted Rock, to a gourmet lunch beside the waterfall of Cascada del Meco, the Mexico experience is like none other.

The name of Acapulco has come to mean merrymaking, good food and a wonderful climate. Sunshine is guaranteed basically every day of the year. Year after year Acapulco continues to attract millions of visitors to its bay and to its vibrant night-life.

In one tremendous sweep, Acapulco curves around its half-moon bay. On one side are the newer developments leading on to the international airport and on the other side old Acapulco, which became famous in the 30's and 40's as the 'playground' for the Hollywood film stars. In between lies the 'Costera' or main avenue, linking all the hotels and the 'glitzy' night-life.

Acapulco is noted for its all-year round sunshine and constant temperatures hovering around 32 degrees Celsius (90 degrees Fahrenheit) during the day and 22 degrees Celsius (72 degrees Fahrenheit) at night. There is very little change anytime during the year and so the resort is ideal for all kinds of outdoor activities and events. The rainy season is during the summer months of June-September and the rest of the year is almost guaranteed dry, hot weather.

The site of the world-famous cliff-diver's show. Here, Acapulco's energy is focused five times a day as tense crowds watch the divers plummet more than a hundred feet to the waves below. You can also view divers from the terrace of a nearby hotel.

The offshore island is close to the old Acapulco side of the bay. The popular glass-bottom boat will take you to the island. There you can sunbathe, have lunch, swim, and snorkel. The 'burros' are the island's sole inhabitants, except for the lighthouse keeper. You can visit the lighthouse from a gradual trail starting at Playa Roqueta. Other island attractions include a good small zoo in the shady hillside forest above Playa Roqueta.

These are the hotel-lined golden shores where affluent Mexicans and foreign visitors stay and play in the sun. Beyond the swimming floats, motorboats hurry along, pulling parasailors and banana-boat riders, while jet-ski boats ride the swells.

The Mexican Fiesta, Acapulco's dance performance extravaganza, goes on three nights a week at the Centro de Convenciones. The all-Mexico sombrero and whirling-skirt folklore dance show is highlighted by a replica performance of the wheeling Papantla flyers.

One popular way to enjoy the sunset, see Acapulco from a different point of view and party at the same time is by a cruise, including live music, dancing, an open bar, aboard any of the excursion ships.

Several of the Costera hotels have live music for dancing at their lobby-bars and many restaurant-bars along the Costera have nightly dance music, both recorded and live.

Acapulco's tennis courts are all private and located at the hotels. The Acapulco Campo de Golf is open daily to the public while two private courses are located at the hotels Acapulco Princess and also at Tres Vidas. Swimming is possible in Acapulco Bay's tranquil waters along the hotel-front beaches. Scuba diving and snorkeling are also popular. Other activities include sailing, wind-surfing (outside of town), jet-skiing, water-skiing, parasailing, and sport-fishing.

All-Mexico selections of handicrafts include, notably, black Oaxaca barra pottery, painted gourds from Uruap?n, Guadalajara leather, Taxco silver jewellery, colourful plates from Puebla, and Tlaquepaque pottery and glass can be found here too.

In 1519 when the Spanish Conqueror, Hern?n Cortes, came over the mountain pass which bears his own name, he was completely unprepared for what he was to see. There in front of him in a huge bowl in the mountains lay the magnificent capital of the Aztec Empire, Tenochtitl?n, built on a system of waterways and canals with its white buildings and temples glittering in the sun. A truly breathtaking sight and today the modern capital of Mexico City built on the same site as old Tenochtitl?n, has the same effect on most people visiting for the first time.

Mexico City is a city of absolute contrasts. It is the oldest established city on the North American Continent - the Aztecs had been there almost 200 years before Cortes arrived - it is the highest metropolis also at over seven thousand feet above sea level and it is now the most populous city in the Americas with approximately 25 million inhabitants living in the Metropolitan area. Yet the modern capital has retained much of the old Aztec heritage, as well as adopting the very strong Spanish influence after the Conquest and this is what gives the city its unique atmosphere, which even today still captivates the visitor.

It is precisely this atmosphere which one perhaps does not expect to feel in such a big city that gives Mexico City its charm. Amongst all the hustle and bustle of a huge city there are always moments where one is pleasantly surprised by the timeless wonder of a beautiful church, a colourful market, a vestige of the waterway system of the old Aztec capital, or even an Aztec ruin lying in the middle of an urban complex. But this is the true essence of Mexico City, a modern city where time has stood still in so many ways too.

Fortunately today's traveller to Mexico City does not have to deal with the sprawling metropolis when visiting for the first time. The Historic Centre of the city, where most of the most interesting and beautiful buildings lie, in fact can be walked round without too much difficulty. Close to the centre is the area known as the 'Zona Rosa' or Pink Zone, where many of the top hotels, as well as some of the best shops and restaurants in the city are located and just a little further north of here are the magnificent Museum of Anthropology and the equally-magnificent Chapultepec Castle.

A ride out to the southern part of the city will take one to the area of the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco - the best example of how the waterway system of Tenochtitl?n was like - and close by is the National University, the oldest University in the Americas with its famous and extremely-striking library building.

Out to the north-eastern side of the city are the magnificent Pyramids of Teotihucan, certainly the most impressive of all the Aztec ruins in the area and an absolute 'must' for anyone visiting the city.

In recent years Mexico City has become more and more a centre for Conferences and Congresses. Many of the hotels have facilities to hold meetings and smaller Conferences and there are much larger opportunities at places like the National Auditorium and the World Trade Centre. Coupled with the fact there are so many top restaurants and other exciting venues to hold special events, this makes Mexico City a very attractive venue for this kind of programme.

With frequent flights to all the major destinations around Mexico an added attraction is to consider linking the capital city with one of the famous beach destinations to make a contrasting programme, one, which highlights the 'old', and the 'new' of Mexico.

Cancun is situated off the north east tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, 30 miles north of Cozumel, and 200 miles east of Merida. Technically, the hotel zone of Cancun is an island, but the locals always refer to it as the "Zona Hotelera (hotel zone)". It is separated from the mainland at each end by channels less than 100 yards across, connecting the beautiful Nichupte lagoon with the sparkling Caribbean. The resort is renowned for the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea that wash up on 22 kilometres of pristine beach.

There is a variety of activities to enjoy in or near Cancun. But first, you must try the beach and the water. Few resorts can match this, and for many visitors it's a holiday in itself. Most of the hotel beaches are excellent, but try several. The beaches from the Camino Real hotel toward the airport are breathtakingly beautiful but the strong undertow, the abrupt drop-off, and a strong surf make it a challenge to swim. The beaches toward town from the Camino Real are smaller and shallow for some distance out, and there is little surf, making it great for swimming, snorkelling and all other water sports. This enables the visitor to choose the beach best suited to himself. There are numerous water activities one can enjoy in this resort which include wave-runners and jet skiing, water skiing, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, parasailing and snorkeling tours.

The average daytime temperature in Cancun is 85 degrees Fahrenheit, with only about a five-degree variation the year around. The winter months are usually warm and dry, though occasionally there is a blustery wind off the ocean. The summer is generally hot and humid, with frequent showers of short duration. Cancun has an average of more than 200 sun-filled days a year and has less annual rainfall than the Virgin Islands or the Bahamas.

Cancun is well-known as being Mexico's major Caribbean resort. However its location on the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula gives it a unique advantage over other resorts. It lies only 2 hours from the magnificent Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza and just over an hour from the spectacular ruins at Tulum, overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean. Just offshore is the island of Isla Mujeres, still relatively unspoiled and further away is the more famous island of Cozumel, home to some of the best scuba diving anywhere in the world. All down the coastline south of Cancun are wonderful pristine beaches, coves, inlets, estuaries and ecological reserves. Indeed Cancun need only be used as a base in order to explore all these fascinating areas and different forms of transport are available to do just that, from all kinds of water transport, to ATVs, jeeps, helicopters and small planes.

From its beginnings as a small fishing village Cancun has now grown into basically a small city and there is excellent shopping to match. Throughout the hotel zone there are brand-new shopping malls filled with the latest designer-shops and handicrafts from all over Mexico are easy to come by as well. A new concept in Cancun is to go shopping by boat and there is a regular service linking some of the main shopping centres by water.
