Why travel Mexico
Mexico isn't one destination: it's dozens. And the diversity of experiences between them will surprise you.
With 32 states, two oceans, 11 UNESCO World Heritage sites, 177 Pueblos Magicos and a cuisine recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, Mexico is one of the world's most diverse destinations. You can ski down a volcano in the morning, dive a cenote at noon and watch fireflies in a forest at dusk, all in the same week.
What makes Mexico special isn't just its Caribbean beaches or pyramids, but the unmatched combination of living cultures (over 68 indigenous peoples with their own languages), millennia-old history (Olmec, Maya, Aztec, Zapotec, Purepecha civilizations), extreme landscapes (from the Sonora desert to the Chiapas jungle) and a warmth that visitors remember for years.
Living history
Teotihuacan, Chichen Itza, Palenque, Monte Alban and over 200 archaeological sites open to the public. Civilizations that built pyramids taller than Egyptian ones.
Two oceans, thousands of beaches
The turquoise Caribbean of Cancun and Tulum, the Pacific of Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta, and the Sea of Cortez that Jacques Cousteau called 'the aquarium of the world'.
UNESCO Heritage cuisine
Oaxacan mole, Yucatecan cochinita pibil, Jalisco birria, al pastor tacos, chiles en nogada, tamales... Each region has its own world-recognized cuisine.
Affordable destination
A 7-day Mexico trip costs half of Europe. Lodging, food, transport and activities are significantly cheaper without sacrificing quality.
