I absolutely fell in love with this trip to Mexico. In Mexico City, the capital’s energy immediately captivated me. In Oaxaca, I discovered a more authentic side of Mexico, blending traditions, a relaxed way of life and a culinary immersion in the world of cocoa. Finally, the extension to Puerto Escondido was a natural choice: a slice of paradise nestled between golden beaches and the wild Pacific coastline.

Your destinations —
Mexico
Nestled in the heart of Central America, Mexico offers a remarkable blend of ancient heritage and modern vibrancy. With its dynamic cities and serene coastal retreats, it effortlessly caters to every traveller's desires. Mexico City, the former Aztec capital, boasts rich history and striking monuments, while the Yucatán Peninsula beckons with its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters.
Must-sees:
- Chichen Itza, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
- Teotihuacan, home to the awe-inspiring Pyramid of the Sun.
- Xochimilco, a tranquil network of canals offering a serene escape from the city's hustle.
Culinary culture:
Mexico's gastronomic offerings are a celebration of diverse regional flavours. Street food enthusiasts will delight in tacos, tamales, and fresh ceviche, while the finer dining scene showcases modern takes on traditional dishes. Mole, a rich, spiced sauce, is a must-try, alongside mezcal, the country’s renowned spirit. Beyond its famous fare, regional specialties like the seafood of Baja California or the Oaxacan cheese will captivate your taste buds.
Dive deeper:
To truly understand Mexico’s cultural depth, venture beyond the major tourist sites. Visit the lesser-known town of San Cristóbal de las Casas, where indigenous traditions are still alive. Explore the colonial-era streets of Guanajuato, with its labyrinthine alleys and colourful houses. For nature enthusiasts, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve offers stunning landscapes and wildlife watching in an untouched environment.
Good to know:
The currency in Mexico is the peso, and it’s best to use cash in smaller towns. Mexico enjoys a tropical climate, making it a year-round destination, though the rainy season from May to October can bring heavy showers. Public transport is accessible in cities, but consider renting a car for more remote areas. Be mindful of local customs and always have a few basic Spanish phrases on hand.
