The country offers such a variety of cultures, food, landscapes and attractions that it can be overwhelming narrowing down where to visit. Travellers with a deep interest in history, archaeology and culture can spend weeks in the Yucatan Peninsula and feel they still have more to see. Likewise, travellers wanting a culinary journey through Mexico can experience many different cuisines and culturally unique foods in every corner of Mexico. The diverse indigenous population mixed with colonial influences have lead to Latin America’s most famous culinary destination.
Mexico is a hotspot for North American travellers who tend to stay on the Baja peninsula areas of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo or the modern beach resort areas of Puerto Vallarta and Cancún. European tourists usually make their way to smaller resort areas like Playa del Carmen and Tulum or colonial towns like San Cristobal de las Casas and Guanajuato.
