In my Opinion, Mexico is the best country in the world that can offer the best of best in many categories. There you can find a great diversity of flora, fauna and ecosystems. Also The ancient civilizations and their advance understanding of the universe is jaw dropping. Their food is without a doubt one of the most popular and respected culinaries in the world. Their cities, especially the colonial ones, rival many european cities without a doubt. Finally, the people are quite diverse too.
