Once the heart of the ancient Aztec civilization, Mexico City has since grown into a vast metropolis with more than 20 million people living in and around the nation's capital. Interestingly, up until not so long ago, many travelers were wary of visiting the city, put off by warnings of rampant crime, crumbling infrastructure, and stifling pollution. Zip to the present, however, and D.F. -- as it's more commonly known -- is not only considered a fantastic destination for tourists, but has also eased itself into the position of one of the coolest cities on the planet. This is largely thanks to the regeneration and promotion of many of its barrios, from hipster-filled Roma to arty San Rafael. Each neighborhood has its own distinctive vibe, style, and even inhabitants.

Bumpy recovery continues in Q1; Colombia and Paraguay elections expected to yield market-friendly outcomes
18 April 2018 : The Latin American economy’s recovery is expected to have remained on course in the last quarter of 2017 and first months of 2018 as the region puts a tough 2015–2016 firmly in the rearview mirror.
