The country's Caribbean region is home to one of the modern seven wonders of the world: Chichen Itza. The same region is also home to Tulum , which are the only ruins that stand looking out to sea.
The central region also has its archaeological attractions, namely Teotihuacán and Tula in the state of Hidalgo. The country's capital, the immense Mexico City, has much to offer in the way of cultural attractions, cuisine, and accommodation. There are also some veritable treasures of the country's past to be found at places such as the city of Ameca and the magnificent state of Puebla.
If it's beaches you dream of, the first places that spring to mind are probably the Caribbean coast and the Yucatán Peninsula. But the Pacific coast also has clean, quiet beaches to offer, with wonderful waves and fewer tourists. Northern Mexico has a desert-like ecosystem, providing a home for cacti and the arid vegetation of the region's beautiful beaches, from which it is possible to observe whales arriving during January and February.
And finally there is the Central Western region, where the country's second largest metropolitan area is located, Guadalajara; which, though not one of the essential places to visit, does have a certain charm to offer due to its historical past and architecture, its cultural attractions and the national events it plays host to.
A journey to Mexico is a delightful experience, like a happy melody, a veritable explosion of joy and laughter. In short, it is a voyage everyone should make at least once in their lifetime. The reviews provided by travellers of the Evaneos community are guaranteed to convince you!
Mexico City lives at a hundred miles an hour and is lively and fun, even though it is seen as violent and dangerous.
A gigantic, thousand-metre deep natural fault and tourist attraction a few kilometres from Tuxtla, in the state of Chiapas.
The wonderful town of San Cristóbal de las Casas is a colonial jewel of Chiapas. With its cultural diversity, everyday hustle and bustle and relaxed atmosphere, you are bound to fall under its spell.
A temple in the middle of the jungle, an experience recalling Indiana Jones.
A series of turquoise-coloured waterfalls located a few kilometres from the famous archaeological site of Palenque.
A superb ancient Mayan city in the south of Mexico.
Unmissable Mayan archaeological ruins.
You need to leave the Riviera Maya a ways behind to discover this corner of paradise.
Tulum's principal attractions are that it's a really well preserved archaeological site beside the Caribbean Sea, with incredible beaches.
The turquoise water and white sand explain why the site is so popular. Cancun has got everything going for it. Nowadays, it's a very touristy destination, and this has rather spoiled this small coastal Mexican town.
A lovely town in the south of Mexico.
A Mayan city from the classic epoch on the Yucatan peninsula, south of Mérida.
A small town, famous for its pink flamingoes, located a few kilometres from Mêrida on Yucatán's east coast.
The biggest and best preserved relief in the Mayan world.
Coba is a major archaeological site left behind by the Mayan civilisation. Like Chichen Itza, it is located on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, and its history is just as mysterious as the latter site. Coba is, however, a much wilder place.
The word "cenote" comes from the Mayan language and means "water cavern". Yucatan has approximately 3,000. Dzintup cenote is different from the rest because of its composition.
The lovely small town of Izamal, (whose name means "the rose who came down from the sky"), is better known in Yucatan under the name of the "Yellow City".
It is really pleasant to walk about this colorful colonial town. And Valladolid is perfectly situated near to Yucatan's main Mayan archaeological sites.
An island paradise in the north of the Yucatan peninsula, which is very different to the tourist towns of Quintana Roo.
An amazing biosphere reserve in Quintana Roo. If you're in the Yucatan, this is one for the itinerary during your trip to Mexico.
