Mexico

Beach

Mexico's coasts attract visitors looking to relax and enjoy a sunny beachfront vacation. Large resorts line many of Mexico's beaches, offering a laid-back getaway to sand- and surf-seeking travellers.

Food

Mexican cuisine isn't just about tacos and tamales. Visit the inland cities of Puebla and Oaxaca to sample different varieties of mole, a sauce made with toasted chillies and chocolate. In the coastal regions, sample local seafood dishes, such as snapper Veracruz style, a meal made with whole snapper prepared with tomatoes, chillies and olives. Head down to Baja California to sample Mexico's finest wines and visit the home of the fish taco.

History

History buffs can step back to the days when the Mayans ruled Mexico. Visit the ruins of two Mayan cities in the Yucatan Peninsula at Tulum and Chichen Itza, and walk among the stone pyramids that once housed some of Mexico's earliest residents.
