Bordered by two oceans and the Caribbean Sea, Mexico is reputed for its heavenly beaches. But that’s not all: more than half of the territory is situated above 5,000 feet in altitude and offers mountain landscapes to die for. To travel to Mexico is also to discover its northern deserts, covered in cacti, or a south-east lush&nbsp;with tropical forests. Mexico City, the country`s capital, is one of the highest capitals in the world situated at more than 6,500 feet as well as one of the largest metropolises on Earth! So many experiences await you in this country: going for walks in tiny fishing ports bordering the ocean, or deep sea diving in some of the most beautiful reefs in the world. However, it isn’t only for the flora that you will be travelling to Mexico, but also for its unique culture. The country is steeped in archaeological ruins, such as the famous Chichen Itzà. The pre-Colombian era saw extraordinary civilizations flourish; and many locations in Mexico still hold remnants of the time period still exist all around … The Spanish settlers also left a sumptuous heritage: their baroque architecture has been well preserved in several towns… For all of these reasons, as well as its gastronomy, music and lovely climate all year around. Clearly, Mexico can't be beat!

<a href="/mexico/">During my stay in Mexico,</a> while wandering the lanes, I discovered a new side of Guanajuato. It is a surprising town whose position on a mountainside is very charming. From the center of town a path took me into a labyrinth of steep, narrow lanes up to the top of the town. Once I got to the top I discovered an amazing view over the city. I had already been struck by Guanajuato's festive air, which was reinforced by its colorful houses. From up high, this impression was much more powerful. At night Guanajuato comes alive little by little as its lights give it a party atmosphere. I recommend you find a bar with a terrace where you can order a Margarita or, of course, a mezcal, Mexico's own agave based spirit, like the famous Tequila.

Guanajuato is a very colorful town nestling in the heart of the sierra, which breathes a real Mexican joie de vivre.

Beautiful Guanajuato is on the Mexican heights, in the center of the country, at more than 2,000 meters above sea level. Originally it was a gold and silver mining town, exploited by the Spanish colonists. Today, it mostly lives on tourism.
