This ancient Mayan city is home to some of the most impressive ruins you’ll ever see, like the iconic El Castillo pyramid. You’ll definitely want to take a guided tour to get the most out of your visit.

Next up, you’ve got to check out Tulum. It’s another ancient Mayan city, but this one’s located on the Caribbean coast. Not only will you get to explore the ruins, but you’ll also get to relax on some of the most beautiful beaches you’ve ever seen. It’s the perfect combination of culture and relaxation.

If you’re looking for a more beachy vibe, then Cancun is the place for you.

You’ll be able to swim, snorkel, or dive in the Caribbean Sea or take a day trip to the nearby Isla Mujeres.

Mexico City is also a must-see destination. As the capital of Mexico, it’s home to a wide range of cultural and historical attractions, like the ancient Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, and the National Museum of Anthropology. The historic centre of The Zocalo, Metropolitan Cathedral, and Municipal Temple are also must-sees in Mexico City.

At the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, Cabo San Lucas is another popular destination. You’ll find a mix of adventure and relaxation there. You can take a boat tour to see the famous Land’s End arch, go snorkelling or scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters, or simply relax on one of the many beaches. With so much to do, it’s the perfect spot.

Playa del Carmen is another great spot, located on the Caribbean coast. Beaches, nightlife, and the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum make it one of the most popular destinations.
