Practical Information

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!
