Advertisement for travel to Mexico from the May 13, 1966 issue of Life magazine featuring a Mexican woman reclining in a hammock while a mariachi guitarist plays behind her.  She wears a light-colored midriff-baring top and pants.  The man wears a stereotypical mariachi suit with embroidered cuffs and seams, as well as an embroidered sombrero.  The tagline reads "Mexico is a winter suntan, bright white beaches and warm blue bays, fashionable cities, so near and yet so foreign.  There's more to do in Mexico."  The copy mentions Acapulco, Yucatan peninsula, Mexico City, Guanajuato and Teotihuacan.
