Best Mexico information website?
OK, I've done a bit of searching, and there are quite a number of different web sites dedicated to general information about Mexico (Including Baja),
but I didn't find what I was looking for.
Can anyone recommend an informative web site dedicated to all varieties of information about Mexico (not just tourist or travel information)?
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies... I was thinking more in line of some sort of 'official' Mexico web site (if ones exists) with descriptions of cultures,
religions, agriculture, economics government, geographic regions, maps etc.
I think I've found one now, but I wanted to find out other sites from everyone else so I can peruse all the choices.
gracias!

Dave, thanks for the update on mexconnect. I used to hang out there a couple years ago, quit when they started suppressing info on the tourguide
dude that got the crap beat out of him by Sr. Frog staff in Cancun. I've thought about going back a few times as my interest in Mexico goes beyond
the peninsula. Wondered why I couldn't get to the forums. Pay for it? No buey, Hose A. fuggittaboutit..

I may be ruining a good thing
by mentioning this, but if you use a good metasearch, it searches relevant items in Mexconnect that you can't access without subscription.
Hope this helps!

The top one sound like it's along the lines of what you're requesting.
