How to Get the Most from your Visit to Mexico

You can visit Mexico every year for the rest of your life, and still not see it all.  Here are a few things you should add to your must-see list before your next trip…

According to the World Tourism Organization, Mexico is among the most visited countries in the world.  People travel to see the Meso-American ruins and the colonial cities, to participate in cultural festivals, and to explore the beautiful natural reserves and the endless beaches.  The peak season to visit Mexico is December or mid-Summer.  The beach resorts are especially popular with college students celebrating Spring Break with a little downtime.

If your ideal vacation includes plenty of sunbathing, Mexico’s coastlines provide all the opportunity for leisure you need.  Beaches stretch on and on and provide a wide variety of experiences from snorkeling to cliff-jumping.  On the Yucatán peninsula, one of the most popular beach destinations – especially with university students – is the resort town of Cancún, with its party atmosphere and fantastic dining options.  To the south of Cancun is the coastal strip called Riviera Maya which includes the beach town of Playa del Carmen. A day trip to the south of Cancún takes you to the town of Tulum, notable for its cliff-side Mayan ruins.

Mayan Palace

If history and native culture are your focus, plan to visit El Tajín, one of the largest and most important pre-Columbian archeological sites in Mexico.  Surrounded by dense tropical rainforest, this incredible network of pyramids, ballcourts and other buildings is mysterious and awe-inspiring.  This unforgettable site is only one of many to explore throughout Mexico and Central America.

If a little action and adventure are on your bucket list, visit the Baja California peninsula.  Try deep-sea diving off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, or go sports fishing for marlin at Bahia de la Concepcion.  Acapulco is another exciting tourist destination, where you can test your courage with a leap from a vertical cliff into the surf below.
