Mexico Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Inca McFarlane
Grab a snorkel and head to Akumal to swim with sea turtles just seconds from the shore!
Lanie Shand
From the Aztec ruins of Teotihaucan just north of Mexico City, to the jungle-clad Mayan site of Palenque and world famous temples of Chichen Itza, Mexico has a rich and varied history to explore. Make sure you take the time to explore these fascinating sites.
Charlotte Barnes
Explore the Yucatan! So easily accessible from your Riviera Maya beach break, you can base yourself in the vibrant town of Merida for a few days. From here you can easily explore quiet Mayan ruins, swim in a sacred cenote or, for birdlife, head to the Celestun Biosphere for a flamboyance of flamingos!
