Location

The geographic coordinates of Mexico are 23 00 N,
102 00 W.
Mexico are in North America between Guatemala
and U.S.A
Culture

The culture of Mexico reflects the country's complex history and is the
result of the gradual blending of native
culture (particularly Mesoamerican) with Spanish culture and
other immigrant cultures.
First inhabited more than 10,000 years ago, the cultures that developed in
Mexico became one of the cradles of civilization. During the 300 year rule
by the Spanish, Mexico became a crossroad for the people and cultures of
Europe, Africa and Asia. The government of independent Mexico actively
promoted shared cultural traits in order to create a national identity.
The culture of an individual Mexican is influenced by their familial ties,
gender, religion, location and social class, among other factors. In many
ways, contemporary life in the cities of Mexico has become similar to that
in neighboring United States and Europe, with provincial people
conserving traditions more so than the city dwellers.
Lenguage

Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the
world. Although the overwhelming majority of Mexicans today
speak Spanish, there is no de jure official language at the federal
level. The government recognizes 62 indigenous Amerindian
languages as national languages.
Some Spanish vocabulary in Mexico has roots in the country's
indigenous languages, which are spoken by approximately 6% of
the population. Some indigenous Mexican words have become
common in other languages, such as the English language. For
instance, the words tomato, chocolate, coyote,
and avocado are Nahuatl in origin
Architecture

With thirty-four sites, Mexico has more sites on the UNESCO
World Heritage list than any other country in the Americas, most
of which pertain to Mexico's architectural history. Mesoamerican
architecture in Mexico is best known for its public, ceremonial and
urban monumental buildings and structures, several of which are
the largest monuments in the world. Mesoamerican architecture is
divided into three eras, Pre-Classic, Classic, and Post-Classic.
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright is reputed to have declared
the Puuc-style architecture of the Maya as the best in the Western
Hemisphere.
Cuisine

Mexican cuisine is known for its blending of
Indigenous and European cultures, and to a lesser
extent, African and Asian. The cuisine was inscribed in
2010 on the Representative List of the Intangible
Cultural Heritage of
Humanity by UNESCO. Traditionally, the main
Mexican ingredients consisted of maize, beans,
both red and white
meats, potatoes, tomatoes, seafood, chili
peppers, squash, nuts, avocados and various herbs
native to Mexico.
