In front of the backdrop of imposing volcanoes, tropical forests and extensive deserts, cities with magnificent mansions and churches invite you to take long tours of discovery.

    Where to Go on a Mexico Vacation?

    Cozumel

    The island of Cozumel is located off the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula and awaits you with white sandy beaches and countless excellent diving spots. From mid May to September you can also swim with the majestic whale shark. On Cozumel there are also some worth seeing ruins of the Maya, because for them the island was considered holy and was dedicated to the moon and fertility goddess Ixchel.

    Chichen Itza

    In the south of Mexico, amidst the tropical landscapes of the Yucatan Peninsula, the largest Mayan site is Chichen Itza - one of the very special sights of Mexico. The numerous, well-preserved buildings and pyramids will take you back to times long past and give you an insight into this special high culture. Especially the pyramid of Kukulkán will enchant you, because it is even more impressive in reality than in any photograph or picture.

    Teotihuacan

    The most important prehistoric ruined city in America welcomes you to the central highlands of Mexico. Especially the stepped temples, such as the Great Pyramid of the Sun, are famous worldwide. Until today it is not quite clear which people are responsible for the construction of the site. What is certain, however, is that the Aztecs found the site abandoned in the 15th century and assumed that it was built by gods. You can easily visit Teotihuacán on a day trip from Mexico City.

    Isla Mujeres

    Off the coast of Cancún, only 15 minutes by boat, is the Women's Island, Isla Mujeres. On the white beaches, like Playa Norte, you can relax, swim in the turquoise waters or go snorkeling with sea turtles. You will also find the underwater museum MUSA here. If you would like to see the whole island, you can rent a golf cart and drive from north to south along the east coast in about one hour.

    Palenque

    The former Maya metropolis Palenque is located in the middle of deep jungle, not far from the modern city of the same name. Only about five percent of the site has been uncovered, the rest is still hidden among the jungle plants. Since 1987, the buildings, such as the palace and the Temple of the Inscriptions, have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Unlike comparable Mayan sites, Palenque is one of Mexico's less visited tourist attractions, but it is best to get here early in the morning.

    Puerto Escondido

    Translated Puerto Escondido means "hidden port" and this name actually applies to the small town despite its 25,000 inhabitants. The local beaches are especially suitable for surfing, or you can go swimming, snorkeling, and watch turtles and dolphins. The Laguna de Manialtepec is also home to fluorescent microorganisms that make the water glow when you go swimming in it. Less
