Currently, Mexico ranks first place as a tourist destination in Latin America, being that most of its visitors come from the United States and Canada. Mexico is a prefect blend of old and new, with incredible ancient sites and stunning beach resorts.

It was 9,000 years ago that the first inhabitants of the territory of Mexico were recorded. In 1519 the Spanish invaded the main indigenous people who were the Aztecs and the Mayans. The constructions of the Aztecs and Mayans remained after they were wiped out and are now major attractions.

Although hotel fires occur infrequently, when they do happen they can have serious consequences for hotel guests. Travelers should take a few precautions and be aware of some basic information on what to do if a fire occurs in their hotel when they are on vacation.

First of all, when booking a hotel room, try and get one that is no higher than the fifth floor. In case of fire, many fire engine ladders can’t always reach rooms that are higher. It is better to be safe than sorry.
