Overview

Continental Mexico

Pre-Columbian land, conquered five centuries ago by the Spaniards, Mexico is a fascinating and inexhaustible destination for tourism. Visitors travel from sumptuous archaeological remains of civilisations now extinct to the stunning Hispanic architecture. Let's ignore the distances! The unquestionable diversity in Mexican scenery takes us then from desert sierra to tropical forest, from the central plains' volcanic barrier or even from the Atlantic Ocean beaches to the shore of the Pacific Ocean.

pros

  •  The Mexicans' warm welcome.
  •  The incredible diversity of landscapes.
  •  A rich historic and cultural heritage.
  •  The Indian culture on the high plateaus of the north and the forests of Chiapas.
  •  The country still has a very lively popular culture inland, which does not have much to do with what is presented in hotels: mariachis, marimbas (music bands), charreria (Mexican rodeo), bull races.

cons

  •  Some safety problems in some of the cities such as Mexico City and Guadalajara.
  •  Distances: it is impossible to plan the exploration of the whole country in one trip only.
  •  Fraud with taxi drivers in the cities, do ask for the price of the fare before setting off and make sure the banderazo (counter) is on.
  •  Fake antiques: just buy reproductions sold as such, that will just avoid trouble!

Mexico Mexico, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

Unless you go for a holiday of at least three weeks, it is impossible to visit all of Mexico. It is better to concentrate on the colonial towns of central Mexico, Oaxaca state and Chiapas, even if it means coming back later (Zacatecas, Durango et la Barranca del Cobre), to visit the north. Travel in the spring or in the autumn, they are the best seasons to visit the Centre, without being too much affected by the heat.
Don't hesitate to pay a little more for these periods of the year. Likewise, be wary of very low price offers. They are not usually good quality offers!
