About Mexico
Mexico is a vibrant country of colorful traditions and culture. It has a vast history of ancient civilizations and indigenous populations, more than 60 of which are represented there today. Home to one of the largest cities in the world, Mexico City, the country also faces problems of overpopulation and citizens living in poverty. A top producer of the world's silver, Mexico has a long tradition of jewelry making. Most of the fine jewelry is made in silver, with the most important center being Taxco, Guerrero.
