2. Tulum
Tulum became famous for having the only fortified Mayan ruin in existence, situated along the coast. Tulum’s main draw is the well-preserved Mayan site resting atop a 12-meter cliff looking below to the Carribbean Sea. But this ancient city isn’t just about Mayan remains. Due to its sensational, sugar-white beaches and crystal-clear water, Tulum has become a favoured spot for divers to explore underwater caverns, seeking abundant marine life.
3. Chichen Itza
The Mayan site of Chichen Itza is one of the most visited attractions in Central America. The Mayans were one of the most advanced civilisations our world has seen, making Chichen Itza one of the seven new wonders of the world. Relics and remains lay all over Central America, but Chichen Itza is one of the most unique. The immense height of the buildings is overwhelming, but when you discover how each monument marks out a key astrological point in the sky, it becomes even more intriguing. The Mayan’s measurements are so precise that when a ray of sunlight reaches a certain point in the sky, a serpent’s shadow appears to slither up the stairs of El Castillo, heading for the temple at the top.
4. Isla Cozumel
This small island just of Playa del Carmen is one of the best scuba diving destinations this side of the ocean. The sea is crystal, clean and abundant in exotic marine life gliding through the reef. This laid back atmosphere is the ideal break away from the bustling cities as you search for your perfect hidden beach. It’s also an exceptional place for kayaking, snorkelling and paddleboarding.
5. Oaxaca
This colonial city in Southern Mexico is the perfect place to experience traditional Mexican culture. Explore the UNESCO historic centre of Oaxaca with its vibrant multi-coloured houses. Discover hand-made crafts made by the indigenous community of Oaxaca. Investigate the art scene, the traditional local food and the charming cobbled streets. And the surrounding scenery? It’s simply heavenly.
6. Copper Canyon
Copper Canyon is an unimaginable place in Mexico to explore, especially if you’re into hiking. Some people are surprised to hear that Copper Canyon is larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon. But, it’s not just about hiking. The railway which passes through is supposedly one of the most beautiful journeys in the world. You can also go rock climbing or zip-lining across the Canyon.
7. Puerto Vallarta
One of the most popular resort locations in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta is the ideal beach-side destination. Beautiful beaches, delicious street food, high-end hotels, a buzzing art scene and spectacular lookout points across the bay. Palm trees line the pristine coast, dolphins swim in the green sea, adrenaline seekers come for paragliding and jet-skiing. This pretty, resort town has everything from nightclubs to jungles.

Playa del Carmen is one of the top foodie destinations in Mexico. Serving up everything from street-side tacos to Michelin Starred sushi restaurants. And the evenings don’t stop at dinner. Playa del Carmen has an incredible nightlife. With a multitude of activities surrounded by the Riviera Maya, stunning shorelines and chic cafes, you’ll never run out of things to do. So relax and soak up the hipster side of Mexico.
9. Guanajuato
Alfresco dining on cobbled-stoned streets, buildings painted in every colour under the sun. Buzzing plazas, ornate colonial buildings, and charming family-run shops and businesses. Guanajuato does have its charms. The best way to explore this city is to give up the planning and simply wander to your heart’s content. Stumble upon local gems, fine galleries, impressive churches and fascinating museums.
10. Puebla
This charming colonial city is often regarded as one of the best places to visit in Mexico. Known as the gastronomical hub of Mexico, this is one of the best places to find incredible Mexican grub! With the towering volcano Popocatepi looking down onto Puebla, majestic buildings peppering the city and magnificent churches sitting atop of rolling hills, Puebla can be deemed as one of the most beautiful parts of the country.
11. Cancun
Consistently voted as one of the top travel destinations for USA citizens, we couldn’t not mention Cancun. Long, sugar-white stretches of coastline, extending as far as the eye can see, with water so transparent you don’t even need a snorkel. Cancun is a beach-lovers paradise. Famous for being a prime spot for Spring Break, the nightlife here is like no other. Cancun is also one of the best places for swimming with stingrays and dolphins in Mexico.

12. Merida
Merida is one of the finest examples of old colonial Mexico and is the perfect base for visiting the nearby Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza and Tulum. Merida has the nickname of “white city” as bizarrely, the citizens all wear white clothing. Explore the ancient monuments of the Fatherland, the Roman Theatre and the Roman aqueducts. Dine in the busy plazas and explore the French architecture of the squares.
