In terms of religion, the Indian faith is also integrated into Catholicism in Mexico, which may be the reason why Catholicism can become the most important religion in Mexico.
For Mexicans, corn is far more than an ordinary food, but a symbol of Mexico and Mexicans. The love of pepper and bullfighting all show the enthusiasm of Mexican culture.
Mexican custom
Mexico is cheerful and likes to chat up the opposite sex. If this happens while traveling, it is generally wise not to respond and avoid eye contact. Walking with a male partner or wearing a wedding ring can avoid harassment to some extent.
Generally speaking, there is no discrimination against female tourists in most parts of Mexico, but the northern areas, especially those near the border, are not very friendly to female tourists, so it is better to dress conservatively when traveling, especially when visiting churches and other places.
There are many activities in Mexican churches. If you happen to meet an ongoing activity while visiting, just watch it quietly and don't disturb it.
