5 Reasons Why Mexico Should Be Your Next Travel Destination*

*This is a collaborative post*

There are some places that come up again and again when we’re thinking about where to visit next, and then there are some that seem to forever fly under the radar, even if they’re a large, well-known country. Take Mexico, for example. It might be because of its proximity to the United States, but nowhere near enough people from the UK seem to visit this enchanting country. We’re here to change that. Take a read of five reasons why Mexico should shoot to the top of your travel list below, and you might be there sooner than you think.

The Food Is Amazing

Right, we can’t talk about Mexico without mentioning the food. Indeed, the food is so tasty, it has to be the number one on our list. If you think you’ve had good Mexican food in the UK, then you can prepare your taste buds to be blown away once you finally get to taste the offerings in the country of origin. You’ve got all the favourites, such as nachos, burritos, tacos and the like, but then there are also foods like pambazos and pozole, among many other delicious meals.

It’s Full of Culture

As you can imagine in a country that’s steeped in history, there are cultural gems at just about every turn in Mexico! The best place to explore its rich heritage is in the capital, Mexico City. Book a room at the Courtyard Mexico City Airport, and you’ll have all the famous attractions within easy reach. The city has a long history that dates back more than seven hundred years, and, as it's been a hive of activity ever since it was founded, there are many sites, monuments, and streets of historical importance.

Hit the Beaches

Not that your trip to Mexico has to be all about exploring. When you’re on holiday, you want to make sure that you’re able to fully relax and be at ease. On that front, the country has you covered - and then some. There are too many awesome beaches to mention, but the highlights include Zihuatanejo, Cozumel, and, of course, Cancun. But check out the coast, and you’ll find many great spots, usually with a quaint, lively town attached to it. Did someone say road trip? We’re game!

The Music

You may have noticed that Mexicans like to enjoy life. They’re passionate people, and when it comes to having a good time, they’re not afraid to go all out. This has resulted in an excellent music scene. On your trip, you’ll be able to catch wonderful impromptu concerts and street performances, and you might be surprised to learn that Mexican music isn’t only about the generic type: it covers all genres.

Everyone’s Happy

So why should Mexico be the next place you go? Because it has something for everyone! Whether you like the outdoors, the big city vibe, or are happy to lie on a beach, Mexico will make sure you and everyone in your travelling party have a memorable time.
