ABOUT MEXICO Contemporary Mexico is a sizable country of contrasts, contradictions and rich culture. With over 100 million inhabitants it is the largest Spanish-speaking nation in the world. Mexico’s ethnic heritage, colonial cities, coastal resorts and cultural diversity, attract many international visitors every year. Mexico’s business ties with the international community have increasingly strengthened by dynamic and comprehensive economic reforms. Its strategic location as the gateway between South and North America has created an enormous opportunity for leadership in the region.

Located in the center of the country, Mexico’s capital is known for its vibrant and eclectic atmosphere. Mexico City is the cultural, financial, governmental, and entertainment capital of the country. It has world-class museums that reflect the rich culture and history of the country and important art exhibits are shown in a great number of galleries.

ITAM is located in the picturesque neighborhood of San Angel. Within walking distance you can find historical buildings, parks, restaurants for all tastes, upscale bars, shopping malls and sport centers. San Angel is famous for its preserved colonial areas, 17th

century churches and its tranquil atmosphere reminiscent of another area. Another special attraction in the area is the Saturday Bazaar, in which you can buy a great variety of local crafts, antiques and works of art in an environment of colorful splendor.
