Activity Holidays in Mexico

Overview

Steaming jungles hiding jaw-dropping temple complexes. Golden sand beaches dotted with smokey seafood shacks, peeling colonial grandeur rubbing shoulders with vibrant nightlife. For a country that boasts such aesthetic beauty, it speaks volumes that its main attraction lies in its people and its culture.

The incredible story of Mexico’s people is reflected in the architecture of the land. Huge Mayan, Mesoamerican and Aztec ruins dot the landscape at sites like Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza, and beautiful Spanish Colonial townhouses and city halls line the cobbled streets of Oaxaca and the sprawling expanse of Mexico City. It’s no wonder how Mexico was named as one of the ‘Most Desirable Places to Visit for Culture and Heritage’ by Wanderlust.

Throw yourself into the whirlwind, go to the madness of the fiestas and the parties, head to the local neighbourhoods and sit in a little eatery to try incredible guacamole, ceviche and other food of the most mind-popping flavour and spice. The memories you collect in Mexico will be some of the most treasured you ever hold.

    Top tips for visiting Mexico

    Learn some basic Spanish – Though our hosts speak English, knowing how to say please and thank you in Spanish will go a long way with the locals.

    Trust the locals with street food – When choosing which food stalls you want to sample, take it as a good sign if there is a big queue.

    Bring a reusable water bottle – The tap water in Mexico isn’t always safe to drink, so be sure to bring a water bottle as staying hydrated is important.

    Be polite – Mexicans value politeness and greetings, so be sure to offer a friendly ‘buenos dias’ or ‘buenas tardes’ when entering shops and restaurants.
