Mexico
Mexico is about as exciting, layered and rewarding a travel destination as can be found anywhere. Home of ancient civilisations and remarkable archaeological sites, world-famous spicy cuisine, incredibly welcoming and charming people, and an astounding range of natural wonders, spanning deserts, jungles, mountains, volcanoes and seemingly endless kilometres of pristine beaches. And then there’s Mexico City, the largest metropolitan area in the Western hemisphere (a megalopolis of over 20 million people) and a swirling vortex of culture, innovation and synergy. Its beautifully preserved colonial buildings surround reinvigorated public spaces alive with street art and food, and cutting edge culinary and arts scenes thrive thanks to an enterprising generation of young creatives.
Cancún
Cancún’s white sandy beaches and warm, crystal waters make it a paradise for all beach and water sports enthusiasts. Add a vibrant nightlife and the closeness to the breathtaking Mayan ruins and you have Mexico’s most popular tourist hot spot. Caring for four million tourists yearly, it’s hard to understand this beautiful resort was a sleepy fishing village just a few decades ago. Its colourful buzz and ancient traditions co-existing with ultra-modern developments enchant everyone, from backpackers to luxury travellers.
Cozumel
Dubbed “the crown jewel of the Caribbean Sea,” Cozumel is sought after as a breezy vacation destination away from the everyday. Known for its wildlife, pristine waters and Mayan heritage, the sun-kissed island offers a great deal of outdoor activities: snorkeling and scuba diving take on a whole new dimension here.
Los Cabos
Located at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, the once-remote area of Los Cabos has transformed itself into an international resort destination. Many visitors come for the stunning beaches and what is known as the Corridor, a 33 kilometer stretch of that runs between the twin towns of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Both have been known to captivate travelers from all over the world. They host many internationally renowned events, including the Bisbee Black and Blue Marlin tournament and the SCORE Baja 1000 off-road race.
Mexico City
While Mexico is popular with travelers for its endless coasts, perfect weather and sandy beaches, the interior of the country is also well worth exploring. The bustling capital, Mexico City, with its hectic urban lifestyle, artistic neighborhoods and historic buildings, has long been neglected by summer vacationers, but is now being discovered by curious city trippers.
Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta pairs the architecture of colonial Mexico with the flair of its modern, beach resort city persona. Located in the gorgeous Bay of Banderas, Puerto Vallarta is both a tropical and cultural epicenter. Luxury cruises make it a frequent stop along their vacation routes, for the sandy beaches seem quite endless. Art lovers will find a paradise in Puerto Vallarta as well, for the city holds its own with numerous neighborhoods and districts dedicated to creative expression.
Riviera Maya
Few destinations on earth cause as much amazement as Riviera Maya. What makes this destination special is the privileged location on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, where the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea embrace the powdery white sand of the beaches that cover the coastline. The 120 km of Caribbean coast that stretches the length of Riviera Maya exudes the multifaceted spirit of the destination. Sun and Sand, Mayan Culture, zip lining, cenotes, diving and snorkeling, shopping and nightlife are just a few of the many exiting options.
Zihuatanejo
Zihuatanejo is the perfect combination of Mexican flair, breathtaking nature, and old-fashioned charm. This picturesque fishing town is a unique beach destination, and the perfect place to relax by the shore and enjoy the fresh sea breeze. With Ixtapa, a more frantic party and resort destination only a few kilometres away, you get a two-for-one deal coming here, combining traditional and laid-back Zihuatanejo, and modern, buzzing Ixtapa.
