Places to visit in Mexico

A fiesta of sights, tastes, architecture and traditions, Mexico has an entrancing energy. A deceptively large country, it’s possible to experience widely contrasting environments within the same trip. Our specialists can advise on how to visit Mexico’s big destinations such as Chichén Itzà. They can also help you venture off the beaten track, suggesting Mexican points of interest that barely register with most visitors.

Travel from the whirlwind, arty metropolis of Mexico City to the markets of Oaxaca, where dishes such as mole and memelitas have been perfected over the years. Alternatively, ride the Copper Canyon railway to reach the Wild West wilderness of the Sierra Madre, or see grey whales in Baja California. Or, go to Maya ruins hidden in jungle, or heritage towns such as San Cristóbal de las Casas where indigenous beliefs meld with Catholicism.
