Other top attractions in Mexico include: Merida, the "White City" of Yucatan; the Laguna Bacalar, famous for its seven shades of blue; Cenote Ik Kil, Mexico's natural swimming pool; and the city of Uxmal, where you can view the renowned Pyramid of the Magician.
Another must-visit location in Mexico is Cancún, a trademark of the country and one of the largest and most popular tourist resorts. This is where beach enthusiasts seeking relaxation in luxury resorts, as well as diving aficionados, flock to. Close by Cancún is an underwater museum, home to about 400 exhibits.
Mexican Cuisine, a Testament to the Country's Wealth
