Highlights: Thousands of years passed by in what is currently Mexico, indigenous Mayan, Aztec, and other tribes cultivating crops and building complex civilizations that rivaled the rest of the world.

In 1519 Spain conquered much of the area, building an empire while enslaving locals. For three hundred years Spain ruled while a slow but inevitable mix of indigenous and Spanish blood began.

Climb the gargantuan pyramids, soak in the Gulf, and tantalize their taste buds with tamales.
