This is not the tourist Mexico of the Colonial altiplano or the southern beach resorts. Rather the Norte is the Mexico of popular imagination. A place of vaqueros, horses and small towns, soaring mountains and sweeping deserts. But at the same time with some of the more modern cities in the country. Truly this is a very rich and virgin region. Visit Chihuahua or Coahuila and you will be far off the well worn gringo path. In many ways traveling to the north is like traveling through an old Western movie.
Northern Mexico is one of the country's most wealthy and modern regions. Maquiladoras(factories) are located alog the northern border. America's music, television, and other forms of entertainment are present near the American border. A lot of Mexicans cross the border to shop or work.
