Mexico
Mexico
Mexico packs more variety into one country than almost anywhere on Earth — and its three great visitor regions prove it. The Caribbean coast pairs Cancun's resorts with the Riviera Maya's cenotes, reef parks, and clifftop Tulum ruins. Mexico City delivers world-class museums, Aztec pyramids at Teotihuacan, Frida Kahlo's blue house, and one of the planet's great food scenes. And Los Cabos brings desert-meets-sea drama — El Arco, whale season, and golden beach resorts. Ancient ruins, turquoise water, and incomparable food: pick a region or combine them.

Where to Stay
Hotel Xcaret Mexico (Riviera Maya)
Riviera Maya (Playa del Carmen)
The all-fun-inclusive flagship — a river-laced eco-resort where the rate covers unlimited entry (and transport) to all the Xcaret parks: Xcaret, Xel-Ha, Xplor and more. The Riviera's best family value, beautifully built.
Grand Velas Riviera Maya
Riviera Maya (Playa del Carmen)
The luxury all-inclusive benchmark — three distinct ambiences (adults-only Grand Class, family Ambassador, jungle Zen), AAA Five Diamond dining, and a vast jungle spa between Playa del Carmen and Puerto Morelos.
Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun
Hotel Zone, Cancun
Cancun's stylish adults-only all-inclusive — a sensory, design-led resort mid-hotel-zone: eight pools to the beach, aroma-and-music ambiences, acclaimed dining, and nightlife steps away.
Hyatt Ziva Cancun
Punta Cancun, Hotel Zone
Cancun's family flagship on Punta Cancun — all-inclusive on a three-sided peninsula of beach, swim-up suites, a full resort-pool scene, kids' club, and the zone's best snorkel cove.
Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City
Reforma / Chapultepec, Mexico City
The capital's garden sanctuary — a hacienda-style courtyard oasis on Reforma beside Chapultepec, with Fifty Mils (one of the world's great bars), serene rooms, and five-star footing for museums and food crawls.
The St. Regis Mexico City
Reforma / Diana Fountain, Mexico City
Reforma's glass tower of ritual luxury — butler service, Diana-fountain views down the grand boulevard, a high-rise pool and Remede spa, at the Angel-to-Chapultepec heart of the city.
Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal
Pedregal, Cabo San Lucas
Cabo's grand reveal — enter through a private mountain tunnel to clifftop casitas with plunge pools, surf thundering below, and Mexico's most-awarded resort service minutes from the marina.
Attractions & Tours
What to Do
Chichen Itza (Yucatan)
One of the New Seven Wonders of the World — the great Maya city crowned by El Castillo's perfect pyramid, plus the Great Ball Court, sacred cenote, and Temple of the Warriors. The Yucatan's essential day trip.
Tulum Ruins (Riviera Maya)
The Maya's most beautiful address — a walled clifftop city above turquoise Caribbean water, crowned by El Castillo, with a swimmable beach cove below. Small site, unforgettable setting; go at opening.
Xcaret Park (Riviera Maya)
The Riviera Maya's great eco-archaeological park — underground rivers to snorkel, reef aquarium, jungle trails, Maya village, and the unmissable 300-performer Xcaret Mexico Espectacular night show.
Xel-Ha Park (Riviera Maya)
The world's largest natural aquarium — an all-inclusive snorkel day in a vast Caribbean inlet: lazy-river floats, cliff jumps, zip-into-water lines, and unlimited food and drink near Tulum.
Isla Mujeres Catamaran Day (Cancun)
Cancun's classic boat day — sail the turquoise channel to Isla Mujeres, snorkel the reef, drink from the open bar, lunch on the island, and golf-cart to Punta Sur's cliffs before the sail home.
Cenotes Dos Ojos (Riviera Maya)
Swim the Maya underworld — twin "eyes" of glass-clear cavern water near Tulum, the gateway to one of Earth's longest underwater cave systems. Snorkel the lit caverns or dive the famous lines.
Coba Ruins (Riviera Maya)
The jungle Maya city — bike shaded sacbe causeways between pyramids still wrapped in forest, including mighty Nohoch Mul. Quieter than Chichen, wilder in spirit, an hour inland from Tulum.
Teotihuacan (Mexico City)
The city of the gods — the Americas' greatest ancient metropolis, its Avenue of the Dead running between the colossal Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, an hour from Mexico City. Dawn balloons float above it.
Frida Kahlo Museum — Casa Azul (Mexico City)
Frida's cobalt-blue house in Coyoacan — where she was born, painted, loved Diego, and died — kept intimate with her studio, dresses, and garden. Mexico City's hottest ticket: book online, well ahead.
Chapultepec Castle (Mexico City)
The only true castle in the Americas to house sovereigns — Maximilian's hilltop palace above Mexico City, now the National History Museum, with Tiffany-glass halls, heroic murals, and the capital's best viewpoint.
Lucha Libre at Arena Mexico (Mexico City)
Masked mayhem at the "Cathedral of Lucha Libre" — flying tecnicos, dastardly rudos, roaring crowds, and beers in the stands. Mexico City's most joyful night out; Friday is the big show.
El Arco & Land’s End Cruise (Los Cabos)
Sail to Baja's granite finale — the famous stone Arch where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, sea lions barking on the rocks, Lover's Beach landings, and sunset cruises with the Arch in gold.
Whale Watching in Los Cabos
Winter's great Baja spectacle — humpbacks breaching off Land's End and gray whales filling the lagoons, December through April. Zodiac close-ups, breach-guarantee cruises, and whale song on hydrophones.
