Fascinating history, incredible food and dazzling beaches
With a captivating patchwork of regions that vary in their cultural quirks, dynamic cuisine and breathtaking natural sights, Mexico is a North American country that holds plenty of charm. Immerse yourself in the myriad of unmissable Mayan sites at Mérida, explore the cobbled streets of San Miguel de Allende’s historical quarter or admire the traditional art within the delightful galleries of Todos Santos.
For romantic escapes and seaside adventures, Mexico’s coastline is home to a plethora of golden beaches and quaint towns. Relax on the gleaming white beaches of Tulum after venturing through the ancient town’s ruins, enjoy snorkelling and surfing in Puerto Vallarta’s serene waters or spot California grey whales in the lagoons of Los Cabos.
Mexico is also the birthplace of a range of delicious cuisine. Taste taco de pescado (fish tacos) in the Pacific Baja Peninsula, or savour a pambazos sandwich (a delicious melangee of fried bread, potatoes and chorizo) from the UNESCO recognised street food scene of Mexico city.
Mexico’s capital is also an amalgamation of ancient, mestizo (mixed) and European cultures: discover the Aztec foundations at the magnificent Templo Mayor or explore the city’s UNESCO-protected Historic Quarter and Zocalo Square. Drifting through the water of the Xochimilco Ecological Park on a boat ride makes for a peaceful afternoon in this ‘megalopolis’.
