Mexico is a large country with a population of over 120 million people though this is largely concentrated in densely populated cities with over 9 million of living in Mexico city alone. Mexico is a country famous for it's amazing beaches, fantastic wildlife, Mayan temples and of course the fantastic food! Spanish is the most common language across Mexico though in some of the areas we work then various dialects of Mayan are also very commonly spoken.
