The immense wealth of Mexico allows us to design trips tailored to each interest. Here we propose different ways to discover its many facets.
Follow the footprints of the great pre-Hispanic civilizations. On the Yucatán Peninsula, explore monumental Chichén Itzá, elegant Uxmal, and the walled city of Tulum. Near Mexico City, be amazed by the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon in Teotihuacán. In Chiapas, enter the jungle to discover Palenque.
Mexico is dotted with cities with beautifully preserved colonial architecture. Stroll through the cobblestone and colorful streets of San Miguel de Allende, discover the pink quarry of Zacatecas, the baroque of Puebla, the elegance of Morelia or the artistic and cultural atmosphere of Oaxaca.
The Mexican coasts are world famous. The Riviera Maya offers luxury resorts, white sand and the vibrant Caribbean Sea, ideal for swimming and diving. The Pacific coast, with destinations such as Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and Huatulco, offers spectacular sunsets and a different atmosphere.
Mexico's biodiversity is amazing. Sail through the imposing Sumidero Canyon, explore the Lacandona jungle in Chiapas, tour the Copper Canyon on the "El Chepe" train, or immerse yourself in biosphere reserves like Sian Ka'an.
Immerse yourself in the most authentic Mexico. Experience the Guelaguetza in Oaxaca, the great festival of the state's cultures. Experience the San Marcos Fair in Aguascalientes or the vibrant carnivals of Veracruz and Mazatlán.
Design a journey for the palate. Explore the birthplace of mole in Oaxaca and Puebla, try cochinita pibil and lime soup in Yucatán, enjoy fresh seafood on the coasts of Sinaloa or Baja California, or delight in goats and roast beef from the north of the country.
The official currency is the Mexican Peso (MXN). Although US dollars are accepted in important tourist areas, it is always advisable to pay in pesos to obtain a better exchange rate. Credit cards are accepted in most hotels, restaurants and large stores.
Tipping is an important part of service culture. In restaurants, it is customary to leave between 10% and 15% of the total bill, depending on the quality of the service. It is not usually included in the account.
For long distances, local airlines and an extensive network of luxury buses (ADO, ETN) are excellent and comfortable options. To get around cities, VTCs (such as Uber or Didi) are generally safe and economical. Car rental is a good option to explore regions at your own pace.
As in any large country, it is important to take precautions. Stay informed about the areas to visit, avoid displaying valuable objects, do not walk alone through poorly lit places at night and use reliable transportation. Taking out travel insurance is always recommended.
This guide is just an introduction to the universe that is Mexico. Each state and each region is a world in itself, with its own identity, accent, gastronomy and wonders to discover. We invite you to explore the specific guides for each destination to build a trip that resonates with your interests and allows you to experience the magic, warmth and intensity of Mexico. Have a good trip!
