Mexico’s Mining Industry
Mexico is a competitive destination for mining investment. An industry with a century-old tradition, mining remains one of the leading sources of income, employment and development in the country. But beyond the mineral wealth required to develop this activity, conditions in Mexico have made it one of the main destinations in the world for mining investment, surpassing countries that are richer in mineral resources.

cosTalegre jalisCo<br />
One of the most breathtaking destinations<br />
in the Mexican Pacific, Costalegre nestles<br />
between the major tourist destinations of<br />
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, and Manzanillo,<br />
Colima. Its small sandy bays are separated<br />
by enormous rocks that create striking<br />
natural vistas and can be explored aboard<br />
small boats known as pangas. Quaint fishing<br />
villages continue to survive, seemingly<br />
unperturbed by the luxury hotels in the<br />
area, while small out-of-the-way beaches<br />
like Barra de Navidad make you feel like<br />
a pioneer charting virgin territory. If you<br />
enjoy water sports, this eco-tourism destination<br />
is right up your waterway!<br />

hideaway:<br />
las alamandas<br />
Beautiful and untamed, like the wild<br />
flower it is named after, this colorful<br />
hotel is one of Costalegre’s best kept<br />
secrets. The hideaway of choice of<br />
only the most discerning sybarites<br />
and the occasional celebrity, its inviting<br />
swimming pool is literally a hop,<br />
skip and a jump from the beach, which<br />
you can explore on horseback without<br />
coming across a soul. This is an ecofriendly<br />
destination, which means you<br />
won’t see any jet-skis causing ripples<br />
in these transparent waters and the<br />
fauna that inhabits the resort gardens<br />
is very well-protected.<br />

La Paz preserves the old world charm<br />
that made it the stuff of new world legend.<br />
Its picturesque historic center has that<br />
traditional feel but this is a city that has<br />
opened its floodgates to international influences,<br />
especially when it comes to food.<br />
The choices range from local eateries to<br />
prestigious restaurants that marry their<br />
dishes with the delicious signature wines<br />
the region is famous for. Known for its incredible<br />
scenery, swimming with the seals<br />
in the “world’s aquarium” –as Jacques<br />
Cousteau once referred to the island of<br />
Espíritu Santo– is an experience that will<br />
leave an everlasting mark.<br />
hideaway:<br />
rancho las cruces<br />
When Cortés arrived here in 1535, he<br />
drove three crosses into the ground and<br />
declared Las Cruces to be its name. Today,<br />
guests at Rancho Las Cruces can<br />
see replicas of those crosses as they<br />
stand under the same sun and look out<br />
over the same sea Cortés conquered<br />
478 years ago –something to think<br />
about as you stroll through the gardens<br />
and feel the sea breeze on your face. To<br />
make your stay even more relaxing, the<br />
guestrooms have chimneys, soft beds<br />
decorated with embroidered cushions<br />
and exquisite Talavera designs.<br />
