Mexico is a country full of culture, traditions, beauty and a whole lot of tourist attractions, making it an excellent destination for travelers and tourists. Because of its diversity, it can be suitable for many different types of travelers from those looking to experience a rich culture, to others who are looking for a laid-back relaxing holiday. So, if Mexico is on your list, here are the most popular tourist destinations that will make you fall in love with it:
Cancun
Cancun is known for its sandy beaches, spectacular hotels, and vibrant night light. Accordingly, it is a great place to spend your summer vacation with your family or friends. However, the things to do in Cancun don’t all revolve around its mesmerizing beach life. While you can’t miss the snorkeling experience in the underwater museum or swimming in Centos, one of the absolute best things to do in Cancun is heading downtown and getting a taste of the fascinating local culture it offers, from street food, small shops, green parks, and even Mexican wrestling. Because the locals tend to reside in Downtown Cancun, you’ll get to experience the real city, especially as you wander down Avenida Tulum. You’ll also be fascinated by the Temazcal ritual, which is a ceremony of purification taking place in the darkness of a tiny hut where a shaman uses herbs to summon spirits with a whole lot of chanting involved. Experiences like these make Cancun truly exceptional and will make you fall in love with the culture and traditions even more.
Mexico City
One of the reasons Mexico City is a popular tourist destination that you should visit is because of its reputation for art, culture, shopping, and recreation, as well as exquisite cuisine. Because of the diversity, it offers and the many cultural lifestyles, it is an extremely appealing destination for tourists. It is also home to numerous historic buildings, museums, food, art galleries and even markets filled with incredible crafts that will make any tourist fall in love. Whether you’re looking for world-class hotels, museums or popular attractions, you can find whatever your heart desires in Mexico City. It also fosters the archaeological zone of Teotihuacan, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, making its historical appeal even more worthy. If all that isn’t enough, then what will make you fall in love with Mexico City instantly is how the city comes alive with countless events of performing arts, music, dance, film festivals, and art exhibitions, making it truly spectacular.
Cozumel
If you’re looking for a calm and serene holiday, then Cozumel should be on the top of your list. This tiny 185 square mile island off the Yucatan Peninsula is home to some of the clearest turquoise blue waters and sandy beaches with charming views. While the atmosphere and serenity you can experience on the island are unmatched, the aspect that makes Cozumel extremely special is the shallow reefs along the coast, which make it one of the best diving spots in the world. However, if you’re not into diving, you can even hire a glass-bottom boat and tour the island to see the incredible reefs it offers and the beauty of its underwater life. And once the sun sets and the famous cruise ships start to clear out, you’ll find the city coming alive with live music at the local bar where you can party all night long.
Oaxaca
Known as Mexico’s newest culinary capital, you’ll find countless vibrant markets in Oaxaca’s colonial streets lined with shade trees packed with incredible artisans and irresistible aromas coming out of the market food stalls as well as the trendy eateries. The city is also known for its rich history dating back to the ancient Zapotecs where they still produce crafts and recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation, making it an extremely unique, authentic and amazing place to visit.
Another reason why Oaxaca is a popular destination that tourists fall in love with is because it offers quite a few day trips due to its excellent location, allowing you to go for a hike and immerse your body in the mineral baths at Hierve el Agua or even just choose to explore the agave fields at Mitla mezcal distillery.
Mexico has always been known for its unique and rich culture, making it an ideal destination for any tourist to visit. However, what makes Mexico truly exceptional is its ability to offer countless experiences, from arts, culture, food, and beaches. Whichever part of Mexico you choose to visit, you’ll definitely fall in love with its tourist attractions and the incredible experiences it has to offer.
