Mexico

Mexico conjures up visions of white sandy beaches, red hot cuisine and harmonious mariachi music, but that’s just for starters. Visit the soft sandy beaches of Acapulco and admire artworks along the seafront in Puerto Vallarta. Chill out in Cancun’s Hotel Zone with its imported sandy beaches, but make time to experience the history, culture and diversity that this country represents. The Mayan ruins of Tulum and Chichen Itza reveal a long-lost culture of temples and pyramids that show a remarkable understanding of astronomy. Strap on a snorkel and plunge into the underwater world of sea turtles, corals and colorful fish around Cozumel or dive into the surreal waters of a cenote (spring-fed sinkhole) surrounded by greenery in the Yucatan. Capture the sight of thousands of pink flamingoes feeding on the surreal pink lakes of Las Colorados or delve into world-class galleries and museums in Mexico City. Dine nightly on fresh seafood and meats served as mouthwatering barbacoa, tacos, burritos and grilled asado with a tangy side of shrimp and lime ceviche. Bring home wonderful handcrafted souvenirs that are as colorful, entrancing and beautiful as Mexico itself.
