Mexico.
From the turquoise waters of the Yucatán to the colorful streets of Mexico City, this vibrant country offers endless adventures. Whether you’re diving into cenotes, wandering historic plazas, or savoring tacos al pastor from a local stand, Mexico is full of energy, culture, and unforgettable flavors. I’ve explored both the Caribbean coast and Mexico City—each with its own charm and plenty of reasons to visit again.

Travel in Mexico FAQs
What’s the best time to visit Mexico?
The dry season—typically from November to April—is the best time to visit most parts of Mexico, offering sunny days and comfortable temperatures. The Caribbean coast (like Cancun or Tulum) is beautiful year-round, while Mexico City and the central highlands are mild even in summer.
Is it safe to travel in Mexico?
Yes, but it depends on where you go and how you travel. Stick to well-known destinations, use reputable transportation, and stay aware of your surroundings—just as you would anywhere else. Tourist areas like Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, and Mexico City’s main neighborhoods are generally safe and welcoming.
Do I need to speak Spanish to visit Mexico?
It’s helpful but not required! English is widely spoken in popular tourist areas, but learning a few basic Spanish phrases goes a long way and is always appreciated by locals. I don’t speak Spanish and I did encounter moments when it would have been useful, but Mexicans were friendly and patient with me.
What are some must-try experiences in Mexico?
Snorkeling in cenotes, tasting authentic street tacos, exploring Mayan ruins, enjoying Michelin Star food in Mexico City, and a hot air balloon tour over the pyramids are all unforgettable experiences.
