Mexico is located in North America and is bathed by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Its cities offer wonderful experiences for those who love history, are interested in ancient civilizations, destinations with colonial buildings and, of course, beaches!
With enormous diversity and its own culture, influenced by Mayan and Aztec heritage, Mexico is a country of happy people including good cuisine. The country is large, has very varied attractions and although many Brazilians hear more about destinations on the Yucatan Peninsula, such as CancĂșn, the country has much more to offer.
The capital of Mexico is Mexico City, a city with great museums, heavy traffic and more than 22 million inhabitants in its metropolitan region. The capital, in addition to being a very interesting destination, can serve as a base for visiting nearby attractions, such as the pyramids of Teotihuacan or the historic city of TepoztlĂĄn. In the central region of the country there are also colonial cities, such as Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende, which can offer a different and super cool experience.
On the Pacific Ocean coast, the highlight is the beaches and their natural landscapes, with destinations such as Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, where there are excellent resorts. To the north of the country is Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon), a place with several canyons, surrounded by beautiful nature!
To the south of Mexico is the most popular route among tourists, which includes cities such as Oaxaca and Palenque, with their ruins, as well as Puerto Escondido, San CristĂłbal and the attractions of the YucatĂĄn Peninsula, a chapter in itself.
The YucatĂĄn Peninsula comprises several cities and is truly a place that brings together many wonderful destinations, offering cultural attractions and beautiful beaches. Tulum, with its cenotes and archaeological site by the sea, the pyramids of Chichen-ItzĂĄ and CobĂĄ, the peaceful beaches of Holbox, the charm of Playa del Carmen and diving in Cozumel are some attractions to visit in the region, in addition to CancĂșn .
CancĂșn, on the shores of the Caribbean Sea, is certainly the most popular destination in the country. The place has a great structure, lively nightlife and a variety of tours, ranging from whale shark watching to the beautiful beaches of Isla Mujeres. Every beach town on the Yucatan Peninsula has style, with a beautiful sea in common!
Whichever city you choose, they are all a good idea! Peace, entertainment, beaches or historical attractions? Mexico has all this and much more! Itâs difficult to choose a favorite place!
