Mexico Vacations Holidays & Packages
By Maria Thomas
Mexico the country with its
turbulent history encompasses
fantastic legends and lore. Its
culture with its Spanish
connection has its own
indigenous appeal. That appeal
has infiltrated into its art,
design and architecture.
From museums and opera houses to
tranquil beach resorts,
travelers in Mexico will
definitely not ask for anything
more. Over 500 festivals and
holidays are celebrated annually
throughout Mexico City and
nearby towns showcasing deep
historical ancestry.
Mexico is one of the most
admired tourist spots. The first
name that comes in mind is
Riviera Maya, Mexico. Due to its
lush jungle, landscape,
shoreline and history, Riviera
Maya has a variety of
attractions to entice travelers.
Playa del Carmen, a major town
in the region and runs along the
beach offering tourists
prominent hotels, it also
provides the shoppers an array
of colourful local handicrafts
to meet the latest trends in
European fashions. Next comes
the Yucatán Peninsula, an
archeological goldmine, situated
on the Gulf of Mexico's southern
shore. It was the center of
Mayan civilization throughout
their rule.
The beach resorts outside the
capital city is one of the
places that people who travel to
Mexico will surely enjoy. The
beach destination is also
regarded as the most accepted
option for a romantic honeymoon
getaway. Acapulco is one of the
popular tourist spots where you
can enjoy fishing as well as
water sports. Acapulco is also
noted for its hotels, casinos
and beach resorts. Mazatlan is
also an admired tourist
destination, a place where
pre-Lenten carnivals and fishing
tournaments take place. One can
also find in Mazatlan an
observatory and one of the
tallest lighthouses in the
world. Other beaches that
travellers in Mexico should not
miss are the Cancun Island, the
Puerto Vallarta and the Los
Cabos. Mexico is one of the most
important museum destinations in
the world.
Museums that travellers in
Mexico should visit are the
National Museum of Anthropology,
Museum of National History,
Snail Museum, Technology Museum
and the Museum of Modern Art.
Children will also enjoy the
Mexico City Zoo and the Papalote,
a children's interactive museum.
Travelling to Mexico will not be
complete without visiting the
Basilica de Guadalupe, the
Metropolitan Cathedral, and the
Chapultepec Castle. The
monuments abound in the Paseo de
la Reforma are Angel of the
Independence (the symbol of the
country's national identity),
Cuauhtemoc Memorial and the
Diana Cazadora (the statue of
Diana the Huntress). The Zona
Rosa or the Pink Zone is an
ideal shopping paradise covering
boutique squares, shops and
hotels. The Alameda Park is also
a shopping district, which
borders the Palace of Fine Arts.
Travellers can find the Pyramid
of the Sun and Moon in
Teotihuacan that face each
other, providing a great view of
the surrounding regions from the
top.
Mexico is one of the most
popular vacation destinations of
North America. Winter is the
best time for a tour to Mexico,
as majority of Mexico is
positioned in the tropics,
making weather somewhat reliable
and the months of July and
August inevitably avoidable,
when temperatures may not drop
below 90F at night. Great waves,
sea caves and the closeness of
many interesting locales
strengthens the lure of this
western peninsula.
