It may be the world's most populous Spanish-speaking country, but Mexico blends a native North American culture with a Spanish twist that makes for a place that is as diverse as it is vast. It is no surprise that it is the one destination in the world that can offer something for everyone.

An extensive coastline featuring a seemingly never-ending series of beaches along the Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean rings a country that features the extremes of rain forests and deserts as well as just about every landscape in between. Regardless of whether you're intending to scuba dive around some of the world's most glorious coral reefs, explore ancient ruins in the interior, play one of its many world-class golf courses or visit one of the country's many splendid city destinations, flights to Mexico can take you where you want to be.

Boasting a heritage that has become a perfect combination of the new world and the old, Mexico is the former home of both the Aztecs and Mayans. While these ancient civilizations provide a backdrop to the modern country, it is the much more recent Spanish presence that provides the most obvious cultural influence. With the two intertwined at every turn in the modern country, the place is not exactly short of history.

Located between the United States and the Central American countries of Guatemala and Belize, Mexico's 32 administrative regions are best summarised when divided into six unique areas to help visitors find the destination that suits them best.

The Yucatan Peninsula, serves as the gateway to territory once ruled by the Mayas. cheap flights to Cancun, Cozumel and Campeche are available on demand and in addition to the archeological attractions associated with the once dominant Mayan culture, visitors will find seaside destinations along the blue waters of the Caribbean that offer scuba diving facilities surrounding one of the world's largest coral reefs.

Central Mexico is the country's heartland. cheap flights to Mexico City and Puebla are in constant supply and while the former is the capital and by some margin the largest urban centre in the country, there are plenty of nearby picturesque towns and colonial cities to choose from.

Meanwhile, those taking advantage of cheap flights to Acapulco will arrive at one the most complete destinations in the country, as its status as a stopping point for cruise ships plying the Panama to San Francisco route would suggest.

Cheap flights to Puerto Vallarta bring travellers to world-class golf and sport fishing and clean white-sand beaches. Puerto Vallarta offers a resort atmosphere that attracts visitors from the world over.

There are two major peninsulas in Mexico that are unique destinations in themselves. The first is the barren Baja Peninsula that juts southward from the US border along the western coast of the country. While much of this area is desert, there are a number of secluded beaches that determined travellers can seek out en route to discovering the rich bio-diversity on offer in the Sea of Cortes, including migrating Grey Whales. Although the Baja is serviced by a number of ferries from the mainland, the quickest way there is via one of the many cheap flights to La Paz in the south.

Those more interested in getting off the beaten track may seek out cheap flights to Leon or cheap flights to Guadalajara which offer visitors a choice of shopping destinations. Leon is Mexico's fifth largest city and is also known as the country's shoe capital though it also produces a variety of other leather goods.

To the north, lies a vast region featuring a combination of rugged mountains and nature reserves bounded by deserts. It is also home to several major cities and with cheap flights to Monterrey, Chihuahua and Durango in abundance, it is well served by many carriers.

There is much, much more to Mexico than this, but if you're already finding yourself spoilt for choice, let the Cheapflights travel guide to Mexico help make your mind up.
