Mexico

Mexico offers a lot of variety, with different places appearing on different peoples’ bucket lists for very different reasons. There’s the amazing Mexican cuisine, the world-famous scuba diving sites, the charming historical cities, the pristine white-sand beaches, the amazing festivals and ancient ruins left by long-gone civilisations, among many other attractions. Right across the large Latin American country, the people are noted for their friendliness, welcoming visitors to enjoy the country’s iconic culture.

This remarkable country is particularly popular for its beaches, which rank among some of the best in the world. Edged by crystal-clear waters and nodding palm trees, they are the ideal tropical escape, with vibrant cities nearby to provide essential facilities and entertainments. It’s a big country, though, so be sure to plan on some time exploring so that you don’t miss out on everything Mexico has to offer.
