Mexico has a sad and long history, having finished Class Wargames, I am looking to pick up, “Mexico, a brief history”. Here are my other notes & links …
Links
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico
- https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/mx.html
- https://www.amnesty.org/en/countries/americas/mexico/report-mexico/
- FCO travel advice Mexico, safety and security

And some more,
- Mexico solidarity project, wonder if they organise trips
- Activities in Mexico City, Central Mexico and its Gulf Coast from trip advisor
- Conde Naste on Mexico City’s museums, and Time Out on things to do and see.
To get around, it seems that you have to use buses/coaches, there is only one passenger train service. According to Wikipedia, there are projects in the pipeline and also museums.
Kitti, who comments on the buses above, recommends,
- Fly in a hot air balloon over one of the most spectacular places in Mexico, the Teotihuacán Valley
- Experience this history firsthand with a full-day tour to Chichen Itza, Cenote and Valladolid from Cancun or the Riviera Maya
- Ideal for travellers looking for a full day of outdoor adventure, this tour combines an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) off-road session with ziplining, swimming, and tequila tasting
- Buy your tickets to the Frida Kahlo Museum in advance and explore a collection of personal items, sketches, paintings, and furniture that reflect Kahlo’s life and work, although, I prefer the work of her husband, Diego Riviera, whose masterpiece, the History of Mexico is at the Palacio Nacional in Mexico City.
