Thus, Mexico is bathed by the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, places with beautiful beaches. Anyway, enough rambling and let's finally talk about these 3 incredible curiosities about Mexico, trust me below.

1- Your Full Name
Many believe that Mexico is just called “Mexico”, but what if I told you that its name is a little longer, would you believe it? Well, you can believe it, and I bet anyone that you probably didn't know about this curiosity, but anyway, let's go.
Well, know that its official name is "United Mexican States", and yet, one of the main reasons for having that name is its proximity to the "United States of America". This baptism similar to that of its neighbor, the USA, is due to the fact that the United States has always presented a free and democratic image.
And this official name of Mexico was baptized in the year 1821, in the first Mexican constitution, and did you know this curiosity?
Another detail that also has something to do with one of the many curiosities about Mexico is the name of Brazil. Our country is called "Federative Republic of Brazil” and surprisingly many people still don't know that.
2- It has the oldest capital in the Americas
And let's go to another one of the many curiosities about Mexico that exists in that country, and now we will mention the age of its Capital. I don't know if you know, but the capital of Mexico is Mexico City, which in turn is the oldest in the Americas.
This is due to the fact that Mexico City is an ancient city of the Aztec Empire, including its name was “tenochtitlan”. It is not by chance that the number of historical monuments that exist in this city is extremely large, as many exist since the Aztec Empire.
And another important fact about the Capital of Mexico is a huge and extremely populous city, around 20 million people live there. There are so many people there that this city has about 10 original languages, including that of indigenous peoples, who are part of the history of this country.
3- The Capital Was Built on Top of a Lake
Let's finish this list with 3 amazing facts about Mexico, talking again about its Capital, Mexico City. Few know, but the old "tenochtitlan” was built over a lake, hence the nickname “Aztec Venice”.
Even if you ever go to the Capital of Mexico, you can be browsing the channels of Xochimilco.
And because it was built on top of a river, seismic movements, that is, earthquakes, happen with a certain frequency there. And it's kind of obvious that when these quakes happen, they are very intense there, leaving the city very vulnerable.
