Mexico is home to the world's largest pyramid by volume, the Great Pyramid of Cholula, which is largely hidden under a mountain topped by a colonial church.
The country is considered 'megadiverse,' hosting about 10-12% of the world's biodiversity and more reptile species than any other nation.
Mexican cuisine was the first in the world to be designated an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO due to its ancient techniques and communal importance.
Mexico City is sinking at a rate of several inches per year because it was built on the ruins of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, which sat on a lake bed.
