From the soothing rhythm of Cancun’s crystal waters lapping against the sand, and the sight of Puerto Vallarta’s sweeping emerald jungle canopy, to the fire of spices and zest of limes in every bite of sizzling street food – Mexico is as colourful as they come. There are very few countries in the world that appeal to the senses quite like Mexico. This is a destination that oozes character and charm at each and every turn.

It is almost impossible to visit Mexico and not be drawn to its mesmerising coast, and for good reason. Not only do the beaches boast the white sands and blue sea so synonymous with the exotic Caribbean, but they’re also home to majestic cenotes and hidden caves ready to be discovered and explored.

Mexico’s Caribbean coast is most recognisable as the home of Chichen Itza on the Yucatan peninsula. Classed as one of the seven wonders of the world, these Mayan ruins offer visitors a unique insight into Mexico’s extensive history. A day trip to Chichen Itza ought to be on the itinerary of anyone spending their holiday on this side of the country.

Playa del Carmen invites its visitors to enjoy Mexico’s natural beauty from a little higher up. Ziplining through the canopy is the ultimate way to take it all in whilst satisfying your inner thrill-seeker at the same time. The jungle is equally as beautiful looking up instead of down, and guided trips are the best way to uncover the best of its flora and fauna as well as its serene waterfalls and rivers.

Putting Mexico into words is one thing, but experiencing all that it has to offer is something else entirely, and there’s only one way to find out.
