Vacations In Mexico

A country that offers beaches and sunshine, colonial culture and heritage, nature and adventure, archaeology parks, and big city experiences, no wonder people call Mexico as one of the most rewarding vacation experiences. Below is a list of what you can expect from vacations in Mexico:

Sun, Sand, and Surf

Imagine: warm Pacific waters, turquoise Caribbean seas, deep blue waters teeming with sport fish, white powdery sand, palm-fringed beaches…. You can expect all of these when you go on vacations in Mexico.

Mexico is blessed with no less than four coastlines. The Yucatan Peninsula to the east plays host to Mexico's side of the Caribbean Sea. Here you can find such popular destinations for vacations in Mexico as Cancun, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, and Playa del Carmen. Cancun and Cozumel are considered two of the best family destinations in Mexico while Isla Mujeres provides excellent diving and snorkeling. Because of its proximity, many guests at Cancun resorts go on regular excursions to this beautiful island for a dip and a dive.

The Baja California Peninsula was created millions of years ago because of an earthquake. The result was a tiny stretch of land and a juncture in the Pacific Ocean where thousands of species of fish seem to gather. That juncture came to be known as the Sea of Cortez and it is here that anglers and sport fishing enthusiast find what they're looking for in vacations in Mexico.

For a treat of spectacular waves and sunsets during your vacations in Mexico, head on over to Mexico's Pacific Coast. The pulsing city of Acapulco garners interest from those who feel energized by the unique flavor of Mexican nights while Manzanillo, Mazatlan, and Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo provides excellent resorts and hotels for the whole family to enjoy.

The Big 3

While most of Mexico's cities offer vibrant, colorful, and historical outlook of the Mexican city life, the Big 3 offers all these in tons. Vacations in Mexico are never truly complete unless you pay a visit to any of the country's three big cities for a dash of culture, vibrancy, spirit and endless pleasure.

One of the world's oldest cities, Mexico City dates back to the time of the Aztecs, centuries before the first Spanish conquistador even set foot on Mexican soil. Vacations in Mexico City could very well mean a look see at many historic spots like the Centro Historico around the Plaza de la Constitucion, which is incidentally one of the biggest plazas in the world (second only to Moscow's Red Square).

As Mexico's industrial and technological powerhouse, Monterrey is the closest major city to the United States. Vacations in Mexico that include Monterrey in the itinerary should be interesting, especially if you're a sucker for great city views. The city is set in the spectacular Sierra Madre mountain region, providing you with an excellent opportunity to experience a perfect example of a city that combines both old and new.

And last but not the least, the third city among the Mexico's Big 3 is Guadalajara. A complete contrast to Monterrey's overly commercial feel, Guadalajara is the most Mexican of Mexico's cities. If your idea of vacations in Mexico is to experience Mexico as it ought to be, then a visit to the very traditional Guadalajara is just what you need. The city is the birthplace of many Mexican icons, such as the Mariachis (traditional Mexican musicians dressed in black velvet dress and large Mariachi hats), Tequila, the Mexican sombrero, and the Rodeo.
