Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Mexico

More Americans visit Mexico than any other country. And no wonder. It’s close by with warm weather and delicious food, and offers a wide variety of attractions: everything from Mayan ruins to golden-sand beaches, cobbled colonial-era villages to vibrant cities, atmospheric haciendas to seaside resorts – as well as good value and friendly people. America’s southern neighbor is worthy of multiple tours – diverse, affordable, and easy to reach.

Top Mexico Experiences

Exploring the vast complex of Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan, where ancient people created a sophisticated civilization.

Wandering the Zocalo -- the colonial-era central square in Mexico City – an impressive historic and architectural landmark in the heart of a huge, sprawling city.

Watching for whales and dolphins on a small-chip cruise in the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California).

Feasting on freshly caught lobster or a fish taco in a seaside village along Mexico’s Pacific coast.

Taking the train through Copper Canyon.

Shopping at the public markets in Oaxaca for crafts, souvenirs, and local culinary specialties.

Lingering over coffee or a margarita at an outdoor café in the village of San Miguel de Allende.

Practicing your Spanish as you stroll through a small village, conversing with the locals (with hand gestures, if necessary).

Climbing the extraordinary Mayan ruins at Tulum, overlooking the Caribbean Sea, and the mysterious ancient pyramids near Mexico City.  

Discovering the exotic rainforests and indigenous cultures of Chiapas in far southern Mexico.  

Stopping at a roadside stand to buy some grilled Mexican chicken served with fresh tortillas – an unforgettable culinary experience.

Contrasts of Mexico + Yucatan Peninsula Extension
Tour leader Luis was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Itinerary for first 2 weeks was packed as full as it could have been, followed by a more relaxed week 3. There were some long journeys but transport was comfortable and there were plenty of stops. Hotels varied from very comfortable to more basic, but all were clean and welcoming.

Cycle Mexico: The Yucatan Peninsula
This was my first trip with Explore. We had a great tour leader, Euri and our excellent driver/bike mechanic Angel. Despite some issues on the first day with bike fittings, it was a great all around trip. Euri made sure we followed the itinerary and took good care of us. It was fast paced with not a lot of downtime. Nice group, good food and quiet roads for cycling
