11 Best Places To Visit In Mexico
Mexico is perhaps one of the most visited places throughout the world. It is a destination
for those who want to experience different things all the same time. After all, Mexico
is dynamic in its own right. It showcases its developed urban progress if you are in
Mexico City. Go a little further from the urban jungle, and you'll find yourself being
immersed in the sunny beaches of Tulum and Playa Del Carmen. In short, whatever trip
you have in mind, Mexico has something to offer for you.
It is also interesting to note that many cities in Mexico are not short of history and culture.
In fact, there are numerous UNESCO Heritage sites that are within this country.
If you are wondering which place you should visit in Mexico, I got you covered.
Hello everyone. This is Ann from Pack And Go. In this video, I am going to list down
all the best places to visit in Mexico, as well as the attractions you can see in each
of them. So without further ado, let's get started!
Cabo San Lucas Navigate your way to Cabo San Lucas, and you'll
experience the life of the party that Mexico offers. Back in the 70s, many luminaries and
stellar figures in Hollywood saw this place as their escape from the stresses of show
business. Years later, its exclusive reputation somehow changed when high-end resorts began
to sprawl, especially in the nearby village of San Jose del Cabo. Resorts also started
to appear in the 18-mile stretch highway that connects San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas,
making things even better for the place.
Right now, the allure of Cabo San Lucas for luxurious travelers is still there. This tourist
destination in Baja California still has its decadence and affluent amenities. You can
see it on the deluxe villas that took their residence here. Expansive golf courses are
ever-present, too. Fortunately, the elitist side of this vacation hotspot is gradually
diminishing. Anyone can enjoy their visit here, especially if they head to its tranquil
beaches. Zacatecas
Do you want to experience Mexico minus the crowd? If that's the case, then you should
visit Zacatecas. This place has a lot of stories to tell. This former silver mining hot spot
flaunts its affluent heritage that you can witness by just wandering on its streets.
You can also have a taste of its heritage and culture through its local food. While
you are in Zacatecas, make sure you go to the Mina El Eden and the Museum Pedo Coronel.
These two are locally known museums in the area due to their abundance of well-preserved
relics about the history of the place. Colonial churches are also sprawling in Zacatecas.
Puerto Vallarta Tourists who are into beaches and authentic
regional cuisines should visit Puerto Vallarta. This place in Mexico is an ideal coastal getaway,
especially for those who prefer a small-town atmosphere. But at the same time, one could
easily say that Vallarta is an elegant oceanfront. After all, it offers a myriad of world-class
amenities such as lavish hotels and savory dining choices.
Puerto Vallarta has iconic boundaries. On the coast is the Banderas Bay that traverses
through its coastline; go to the east, and you'll see the palm tree groves standing atop
the Sierra Madre mountains. Hence, this place is abundant in the scenery. You should also
never miss the delicacies being offered in this area. It has numerous restaurants that
offer signature dishes and cocktails that you'll certainly like.
Oaxaca You should also consider visiting Oaxaca,
as it is one of Mexico's most popular colonial cities. Here, you'll easily get immersed in
genuine Mexican culture. It also offers breathtaking views, as this southern city in Mexico sits
5,000 feet above sea level.
The Sierra Madre del Sur mountain range serves as the towering backdrop while you are exploring
this city. Oaxaca is a wonderful place to visit if you want to relish native Mexican
customs and delicacies. Cultural sites, such as the Templo de Santo Domingo church, are
the architectural features you can witness here. During your free time, you should head
to the ever-vibrant local markets in the area! Puebla
Tourists who want to have authentic and dynamic experiences in Mexico should visit the colonial
city of Puebla. It is situated around 85 miles from the southeast portion of Mexico city.
This place is known for hosting numerous age-old churches.
Aside from that, Puebla is also the home of the astounding Talavera pottery and the tasty
delicacies that it offers. If you like to savor sweet and spicy treats, you should head
to this place. I recommend that you try Talavera's "mole poblano," which is made from dozens
of ingredients such as meat, garlic, cinnamon, and chocolate. You could also try the "chiles
en nogada," which is a delicacy concocted from walnut sauce and different fruits.
If you are done with your eating spree, you are welcome to visit the Callejon de Los Sapos.
Here, you'll be entertained by live music performers.
Mexico City Surely enough, Mexico City should always be
included in this list. Being the capital of the country, it is not surprising that this
metropolitan is populous and active all year round. It has a lot to offer to its tourists
and locals, such as world-class hotels, sumptuous delicacies, and a plethora of well-preserved
Aztec sites. And you can explore all these things at a very low price!
However, if you have the bucks in your pocket, you can easily spend them on the sophisticated
shopping lines on Polanco's Avenida Presidente Masaryk. Meanwhile, those who want to see
the culture of Mexico should head to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Palace of
Fine Arts. Guanajuato
You should never miss Guanajuato if you are planning to visit Mexico. It is one of the
most beautiful attractions in Mexico if you discount the beaches of this region. One of
the highlights of this place is the cascading ornate colonial architecture, bustling plazas,
and vibrantly colored homes.
Because of these features, Guanajuato has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage
Cities. Aside from these majestic eye candies, the city also showcases subterranean tunnels
and streets. You are free to explore these places on foot during your leisure time. If
you are done with your walking tours, you can sit back and relax in the Mercado Hidalgo,
where you grab authentic Mexican dishes. Cozumel
It is not that difficult to include Cozumel on this list. After all, it is known for two
things: cruise ships and coral reefs. Many tourists are enticed to visit this place because
of its turquoise waters and perfectly laid-back atmosphere. And even if you are an active
person, this place still has something for you. It is popular for its water sports such
as kayaking, paddle boarding, and diving.
You may also choose to step away from the water and explore the rich Mayan culture embedded
in the area. I recommend that you visit the Mayan ruins situated in the heart of the San
Gervasio Archaeological Zone. You'll also be allured by the downtown area in Cozumel.
It is fascinating and festive, especially during the nighttime!
Cancun Cancun had been one of the places in Mexico
that got devastated by Hurricane Wilma in 2005. That said, disaster impaled much of
the economy of the place. But since its locals are resilient, it was able to bounce back.
From wrecked storefronts and debilitated shores, Cancun is now flourishing with beautiful beaches,
golfing sites, and nightlife spots.
This barrier island in the southern part of Mexico is also the perfect venue for an affordable
vacation in the Western Hemisphere. There are many things to do in Cancun, such as jet
skiing, parasailing, and other water sports. You can also explore some idyllic destinations
in the area, such as the Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres.
Playa Del Carmen Playa del Carmen is nothing short of extraordinary.
One of its selling points is its European atmosphere amidst the tropical environment
of the Yucatan Peninsula. Hence, it isn't that surprising that high-quality tourists
frequent the lounges alongside the beachside stretches. El Zocalo is the center of Playa
del Carmen. It is a small but lively public square that provides you all the amenities
for your stay in this place. It is also within walking distance from the beach, so commuting
is never a hassle.
Proceed to La Quinta Avenida, and you'll spot numerous blocks of exotic shops and tasty
eateries. Explore a little further, and you'll witness the majestic natural wonders that
surround Playa Del Carmen. Tulum
Tulum is touted to be the best place to visit in Mexico. And, of course, there's a reason
for that. This place is the location of the lone waterfront Mayan ruin in the entire Mexico.
Bear in mind that these ruins have the cerulean Caribbean Sea as its background, so you can
expect that it can give you an awesome view. History geeks, as well as water lovers, will
certainly love this place!
Tulum is situated along the Riviera Maya and offers a plethora of lodging options. It has
boutique hotels up to exclusive resorts. Regardless of your lodging preferences, this place has
something to offer. Surely enough, its turquoise waters and white sand strips are already waiting
for you.
