Mexique : Go with a local agency

A country of light and contrastsFor the delight of the eyes, Mexico is bathed in a dazzling light and offers multiple colours: the yellow yellow of the Maya coveted by the Spanish by the blue of the agave - plant used to make tequila - not forgetting the turquoise blue of the sea of the Maya Riviera or the flamboyant green forest.Diverse and very pleasant climatesMexico's climate offers very good conditions for country visit throughout the year, regardless of season. Tropical areas are located in the south of the country (the entire Maya region) on the Pacific coast and the Gulf of Mexico. The entire central part of the country is in high altitude, so cooler in the evening and night. The north is semi-desert and desert, hot and dry.A cultural heritage of great wealthMoreover, Mexico offers its incredible natural wealth an impressive cultural palette.Its pre-Hispanic culture encompasses more than 30 000 archaeological zones belonging to different civilizations that have prospered from 1 500 years before our age. The best known are olmèque, Toltec, Maya and Aztec civilizations. These powerful cultures have built beautiful cities built through advanced mathematical and astrological knowledge. The most glaring example is Chichén Itzá. And what about Spanish colonial sites that are of extreme beauty... On the occasion of a tailor-made tour organized by a local agency that knows these sites at the fingertips, you can discover the most important of Mexico's history.Although much more expensive than Guatemala and Honduras, Mexico remains a relatively cheap country despite inflation. An economic hotel costs on average between 350 and 500 pesos, and the day menu in popular establishments between 50 and 70 pesos. First-class bus travel is much more expensive than the shorter second class, but it will be good to borrow them to save time.The standard of living in Mexico remains largely low. The difference in level between people with money and those who do not have it is striking: Mexico is a very rich country with a vast majority of the very poor population (in 2016, the minimum statutory minimum wage is set at 75 pesos, or between EUR 4 and EUR 5): just visit the beautiful neighborhoods of Mexico City to realise this. Unlike the Western economies, the middle class remains a minority.An important clarification: with a backpack or larger suitcases, the Western traveller is almost always regarded by Mexicans as a rich person and quickly becomes a prey prey. It is true that the average budget for foreigners'holidays is often higher than the wages of the vast majority of Mexicans. While Mexico is considered the 14 th world economy in 2016 (behind Brazil, but in countries such as Russia or the Netherlands), 12% per cent of the labour force earns less than $ 5 a day and nearly half of the population lives below the poverty line. No surprise that one of the richest men in the world is Mexican...FormalitésFrench nationals do not need visas to travel to Mexico. The only formality to enter Mexican territory is to complete the Mexican State tourist card (Multiple Migratoria Multiple/DMF), provided upon arrival at the airport. It entitles you to stay up to 180 days in the territory. Don't lose it because you will be asked at the time of departure.One of the ways to stay longer as a tourist is to leave the country for a neighbouring country (Guatemala, Belize and Belize) and return to it again. You will then be given a new tourist card valid for 180 days.
