Best Mexico information website?

gringorio - 3-19-2005 at 02:26 PM

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!

I used to use mexconnect but now they charge for subscription. No 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..

try the Mexico gov. sites they have every thing

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.

Here you will find just about any and all that you need. Scroll the lower pages of this website. >Follow the links

BUT.... I think you will have "master knowledge" if you just read this forum and a few others like it. Read the past articles
