Mexico is a country rich with history, indigenous cultures and stunning landscapes. But when planning vacations in Mexico, many people only think of its popular beach destinations like Cancun, Cabo or Tulum. I encourage adventurous travelers to steer off the beaten path and explore all that Mexico has to offer! With many cities in Mexico just a quick flight away from the U.S. and Canada, it’s perfect for both long weekend trips and longer explorations.
What places in Mexico belong on your bucket list? From the museums of Mexico City to colonial streets of San Miguel de Allende, the protected UNESCO biosphere of Isla Espiritu Santo, world-class surfing in Puerto Escondido, and the Day of the Dead festival in Oaxaca, I’ve got tons of itineraries and advice for travel in Mexico.
