Mexico is one of the best places in the world for traveling for a myriad of reasons. The weather is fantastic year-round, making it a vacation destination, no matter what season it is. It is close to the United States, which means traveling is quicker, easier, and notably cheaper than many other countries. And, of course, who wouldn’t want to travel to Mexico for the food alone? It’s for these reasons and many more that Mexico is such a hot spot for traveling and vacationing. Here’s a look at some of the top places in Mexico to visit.
Los Cabos
Los Cabos is one of the nicest and ritziest areas in Mexico that you can visit. Much of the tourism is high-class, which means it’s not overflowing with tourists like other parts of Mexico. Instead, Los Cabos offers seclusion and serenity, as well as world-class restaurants and luxury estates. Located on the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos is simply beautiful. The nightlife is described as some of the best that Mexico has to offer, and because the area attracts high-end travelers, there are many exhibits and art galleries, as well as wonderful tennis clubs and golf courses.
Puerto Vallarta
Many travelers believe that Puerto Vallarta is the premier destination in Mexico, and it’s not hard to see why. For starters, Puerto Vallarta sits right among the Sierra Madre Mountains, which offer views of more than forty miles of spectacular coastline to one side, and views of some of Mexico’s most awe-inspiring jungles to the other. The cuisine is considered to be among the best available in Mexico, and is known for being authentic, exotic and luxurious. Puerto Vallarta is a hot spot for music and arts, as well, meaning that travelers are never left looking for something to do.
Oaxaca
If you’re an intellectual traveler, Oaxaca may be the perfect place for you. While still being stunning in beauty with its beaches, jungles, mountains, and Indian ruins, Oaxaca is arguably best known for its food, history, and culture. Known for being the home to many indigenous tribes, Oaxaca’s diverse culture is second to none in Mexico. If you want a truly authentic Mexican experience, while also finishing your vacation with more knowledge than you had when you began, Oaxaca is the place to visit.
Cancun
Many travelers are less fond of Cancun because it feels “Americanized.” While this is true, the party atmosphere of this city is what many are looking for in a vacation to Mexico. Cancun lives up to its Spring Break stereotypes, as it is full of stunning beaches, partying teenagers, huge hotels, incredible nightclubs, and cheap bars. If your ideal Mexican vacation is one where you step outside onto a beach, then drink margaritas all day long with your friends, then Cancun is the place for you. It may be the best party spot in the world outside of Las Vegas.
Depending on whether you are looking for amazing views, authentic cuisine, ancient architecture or a good margarita, one of these great getaways will be perfect for your next vacation.
