Mexico is a country in North America, bordering the United States to the north and Guatemala and Belize to the south. The country's history dates back to the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, including the Aztecs and Maya. In 1521, Hernán Cortés conquered the country for Spain until it was conquered in the 19th century. Mexican culture is characterized by a rich mixture of indigenous and European influences, which are reflected in the country's language, architecture, art, music and cuisine. Among the most famous sights are the pyramids of Teotihuacán, the beaches of Cancún, and the colonial city of Oaxaca.
