The Place

A land of color and warmth, Mexico vacations evoke fun, festivity, and good food and drink! One of the main tourist destinations for North America, visitors explore the beaches of Cancun and Cozumel, the Mexican Riviera, scuba dive in Cabo San Lucas, or tour ancient Mayan or Aztec ruins. It's easy to get off the beaten path though, and explore rural life, gritty urbanism (complete with drug trafficking related violence in the northern border regions), or eco adventures. Sip a margarita in Cancun, see the rodeo in Guadalajara, or down a mole in Oaxaca - Mexico is more than you might expect.
