The Mexico
Tourism Board has just released a flash clip about the magical towns of Mexico, places where
all the country’s traditions meet and juxtapose to create the most
enchanting atmosphere.
Along a history
reaching back a thousand years BC, Mexico has created an
exceptionally rich culture, borrowing from a number of influences and giving
them its own unique and colourful flavour.
The many vibrant
traditions of the pre-Hispanic, colonial and modern eras are still very much
alive today all across the country and they are best experienced in the
beautiful magical towns.
Mexico now has 29 sites
inscribed in the UNESCO’s World Heritage List, many of which are
historic cities with centuries-old architecture.
In this video, we
invite you to discover the magical beauties of Mexico, such as Real de
Catorce, San Miguel de Allende,
Comala, Tequila, Pátzcuaro
and San Cristóbal de lasCasas. Explore the rich
heritage of those cities, where important cultural legends and symbols of Mexico were born.
The Mexico Tourism
Board (MTB) brings together the resources of federal and state governments,
municipalities and private companies to promote Mexico's tourism attractions
and destinations nationally and internationally. Created in 1999, the MTB is Mexico’s tourism
promotion agency, and its participants include members of both the private
and public sectors. The MTB has offices throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America.
