Mexico is a country rich in culture and an experience that you will never forget. The country has such a range of geographical areas and climates that you could vacation here for years and never get bored. There are the major cities that are host to some incredible restaurants, museums and ancient ruins that will not disappoint. The mountains and rivers are perfect for the nature enthusiasts among you. The stretches of beaches with their crystal waters are just the thing for a relaxing getaway for those who love to do nothing but unwind on their vacations.

Below are just a handful of reasons why you should pick Mexico as your next vacation destination.

The People

The Mexicans are the warmest and most welcoming nation. You can walk through the smallest remote village or a bustling street in Mexico City and find somebody willing to smile and say “Buenos Dias” this is just something that comes naturally to them. If you find yourself lost and needing directions, the Mexicans are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much to ask. Break down in your car and you will not have to wait long before someone will stop and help you out. The service in the restaurants is incredible; friendly enthusiastic staff are everywhere, making for a great vacation in Mexico wherever you go.

The weather

This is an obvious reason why Mexico is the perfect destination choice on the coastal areas like Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, Cancun. Between October and May, Mexico enjoys blue skies, perfect temperatures where it is hot in the day and cool in the evenings and not a rain drop in sight. Even in low season (which is the summer months when it gets really hot and rains) you can still enjoy a city break to Guadalajara, Mexico City or Guanajuato where it is still cool enough in the evenings that the heat of the day does not matter as much.

The Food

A vacation to any country is not complete without indulging in the local cuisine. You will never hear anyone say that Mexican food is bland or dull. Any region that you visit on your vacation in Mexico will offer a rich and colourful range of cuisine to tempt your palate. Each region is famous for something. You can sample a delicious street taco that will ooze with flavour or dine at one of the finest restaurants and you will still feel as though you have sampled some of the best foods in the world. Foodies will be in heaven on a vacation to Mexico.

Music and dancing

When travelling on vacation in Mexico you may be lucky enough to witness a traditional music and dance festival or performance. They usually happen in the middle of the main plazas and are free to watch. You can enjoy the wonders of “Jarabe Tapatio” which means the hat dance, “La danza de los viejitos” which means the old persons dance or “la danza del venado” which means the dance of the deer. If you love cumbia or salsa then there are many dance clubs you can visit to let your hair down and your feet do the talking. The music in Mexico is mostly live and vibrant. Mariachi is the most traditional form of live music and is a sight to see. You can hire your own mariachi band or simply visit the beach where a band may be passing by and for a small fee you can experience the joy of the Mexican sounds.

Vacations in Mexico are a must for any family, couple or groups of friends.
