While the airport is modest, the transportation experience can feel overwhelming for first-time visitors. Once you’ve cleared customs and picked up your baggage, you’ll find yourself in a
Travelers from the U.S. or Canada are used to relying heavily on cards. Sometimes, even places like cafés, stadiums, or boutique shops no longer take cash at all in those countries.

Mexico has announced plans to build its first two thermosolar power plants, which will be located in Baja California Sur.

Few dishes capture the spirit of Mexico like chile en nogada. Seasonal, baroque, and steeped in both history and myth, it is regarded as the country’s most patriotic recipe.
