Mexico has been in the holiday business successfuly for many years with the perfect combination of diverse landscapes, two coasts hosting extensive beaches, ancient pyramids, peculiar festivals, atmospheric colonial towns, dazzling sunshine, varied and delicious cuisine, haunting music, unusual drinks, chromatic coral, high surf and low prices.
A few Mexican essentials: A brief stop in Mexico City including a day out at Teotihuacan, a town or two such as Oaxaca in the company of some good tequila, a wacky festival, a Yucatan pyramid complex such as Uxmal or Chichen-Itza in the early morning and some beach time with a snorkel or compressed-air tank thrown in.

Early Mexican tribes: The mysterious Toltecs built the monstrous pyramids of Teotihuacan just outside what is now Mexico City but did not conduct human sacrifices and enigmatically disappeared well before the Aztecs arrived in the area.
The Maya were a tribe in the south [now known as the Yucatan Peninsula and Guatemala] dominated by the Aztecs that believed [or perhaps agreed on penalty of death?] that human sacrifice was necessary.
The Maya built the clever, beautiful pyramids and other structures of Uxmal, Chichen-Itza and Tikal [Guatemala], while Aztec mismanagement and poor leadership resulted in the capture of the country by the far inferior forces of Cortez.
