Family holidays in Mexico

With British Airways operating direct flights to Mexico City, good internal flights, established road networks and a low malaria risk, Mexico is one of the most accessible family-friendly destinations in this part of the world.

The sheer size of Mexico means some internal travel will be expected, but the trick to overcome this with a family in tow is to adopt the attitude of 'less is more'.

Considered a destination for all of the family, there are an abundance of Mexican attractions suitable for children of all ages, however those aged 10 and over may appreciate the cultural aspects of Mexico a little more.

Highlights of this exciting country include the Mayan ruins buried in the jungle at Palenque, swimming in an underground sunken cave 'cenote', swimming with dolphins, beautiful long stretches of beach and exquisite anthropological museums.
