We start our grand tour of Central America in Mexico City

[barryqwalsh]

Mexico is a diverse country, with an unfair reputation for drug violence. The ruins of many ancient civilisations, such as the half-excavated Palenque jungle ruins (pictured above), are a sight to behold. I would recommend avoiding the big cities in the Yucatan peninsula like Cancun – if you venture down to submerged caves called “cenotes”, you will discover the real beauty of Mexico lies underground.

Mexico is wonderful....I love the Yucatan, in particular. Fabulous ruins, great landscape and terrific food.

I totally agree about Cancun.....it's only for Spring Break!
