According to the World Tourism Organization, Mexico is one of the top 10 places in the world to go on holiday. It isn’t hard to see why; whether you like to have fun in the sun, learn about history or enjoy local culture, Mexico has something for you.
Here are three of the best places the country has to offer.
Mexico City
Mexico City is famous for its important Aztec history. The floating gardens of the Xochimilco area, and well over 100 museums. Including the Anthropology Museum and the Frida Kahlo house. As one of the oldest cities in North America, it’s also home to traditional Mexican culture and spicy food.
A deeply Catholic country, there are many popular churches and cathedrals to see. Such as the the baroque Catedral Metropolitana de Mexico and the 13th century Aztec temple, the Templo Mayor. If art is your thing, then a visit to the Palacio Nacional is a must as it houses murals by Diego Rivera.
Why not take a stroll along Paseo de la Reforma. It’s like the Champs-Élysées in Paris, full of boutiques and restuarants. You will find Mexico’s tallest building here, the Torre Mayor.
Whatever you choose to do in Mexico City, it will be a unique and memorable experience of a lifetime, with a Guides4me guide, who will look after you and by the end of the trip you’ve made a best friend.
San Juan Teotihuacán
It maybe a long, hot trek down the entire archeological site. However, once you are there the views from the top of the pyramids are incredible! Teotihuacan is definately worth the visit. Rather than driving there yourself and fighting Mexico City traffic our Guides4me guide can arrange transport and pick you up at your hotel for a day trip that is out of this world.
Guadalajara
If you’re looking for a place to experience Mexican culture. Then you won’t do better than the city of Guadalajara. Walk the streets at night and hear traditional mariachi music that fills the air. Or why not see a performance at the city’s beautiful Teatro Degollado.
The city is also known for its cathedral, which started being built in 1561, and was finished in 1618. Parts of it were rebuilt over the next 400 years, giving it an interesting mixture of different architectural styles.
Nature lovers would love to take a hike up Nevado de Colima Volcano and a visit to Lake Chapala.
