An amazing country, with many....

Mexico is an amazing country, with many fun places to go.

Could you tell me why there is a comma between country and with?

I think that the comma is not needed when with many fun places to go modifies an amazing country.

What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.

Hans51 I think that the comma is not needed when with many fun places to go modifies an amazing country. Although I would never call anything amazing unless I wanted to sound like a Simple English Wikipedia article, I would keep the comma. If you write "Mexico is a country with many fun places to go", the comma would be wrong, obviously.

The comma is needed. It sets off the explanatory phrase.
