MEXICO — it is one of a kind!

“There is no other country like Mexico!” — say Mexicans to foreigners who dream of visiting their exotic land, this land of deserts with giant cacti and tropical jungles where jaguars still roam. The country of brave cowboys, sorcerers, secret... Mayan hieroglyphs, and three hundred varieties of tequila, where death is not a taboo, but rather a favored topic of conversation and even jokes. Yevgeny Umerenko, in the nineties a correspondent for the most popular newspaper at the time, “Komsomolskaya Pravda,” was one of the first to introduce readers to Mexico, a country that amazes the imagination with its cultural, architectural, and natural landmarks. This book is filled with true events — brilliant stories about an unfathomable country that is somehow familiar to us and yet remains so mysterious.
