Mexico, FOUND: Why We Keep Coming Back
Mexico is a land of countless realities. Towering deserts stretch into endless skies. Rainforests thrum with life. Beneath turquoise waters lies the world’s second-largest coral reef. Across its vast and varied regions are diverse ecosystems, 35 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, 68 living indigenous languages, and a thread in the rich cultural fabric that defines this nation.
It is a country where the ancient and the modern coexist. Where pre-Columbian ruins echo with the footsteps of generations past, and colonial streets pulse with contemporary art, music, and food. From the sacred pyramids of Teotihuacán to the colorful chaos of Mexico City, every region offers a new lens through which to see the country and yourself.
But beyond the landmarks, what strikes us the most is the spirit of the people. Its people exude warmth, kindness, and hospitality. Family, music, food- these are not just parts of life here, they are life. Meals are shared, stories are told, and joy is expressed not in excess, but in the richness of connection. It’s in the markets, the kitchens, the plazas- in the way people live with intention, with generosity, and with deep appreciation for both heritage and simplicity.
The Found Way to Travel Mexico
At FOUND, we return to Mexico again and again because no two parts are the same. That’s the beauty of it. Each state, each village, each meal offers something distinct. There is no one Mexico; there are hundreds. And each is worth exploring.
Like Anthony Bourdain once said, “ I love Mexico and all things Mexican. I love the culture, the history, and the people.” We at found echo this sentiment deeply. Mexico has helped shape our worldview, humbled us, inspired us, and welcomed us.
This country is more than a destination-it’s a deep, layered, living story. And for those willing to look past old assumptions and lean into its rhythm, Mexico offers something far more meaningful than just a vacation: it provides a connection to something authentic, rooted, and unforgettable.
