Overview :
Mexico is a large country with regions which are very different
from each other. The interior sections of Mexico are full of beautiful
mountain cities with Spanish Colonial architecture. These cities
will range from large modern cities like Monterrey and Mexico City
to quaint pueblos like San Luis Potosi and San Miguel. Virtually
all of the inland destinations from Mexico City and on south offer
the addition of ruins from a once mighty civilization which rivaled
the Roman empire 2000 years ago.
Beach destinations :
The Mexican Riviera hosts destinations including Los Cabos, Mazatlan,
Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo, Ixtapa, Acapulco and Huatulco. Each
of these cities has a flavor distinct and different from each other.
(See each of these destinations in our Mexico guide to determine
which city suites you best.)
| The Mayan Riviera hosts Mexico destinations that not only offer some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, but easy access to a myriad of Mayan ruins, Cenotes and some of the best scuba diving on the planet.

Mexico Travel Tips :
If you are on a budget, stick to the small colonial cities where
backpackers and the like are able to travel for around $600 to $800
USD per month. Live like the locals whenever possible. That means
that if you want to rent a place . . . do as the locals and search
the streets for rent signs. It may also help to hire a local (pay
them around $20 USD) to help you find a place. Once established in
affordable housing, spend your money in the mercado, visiting the
local villages, attractions and beaches.
If you are only in Mexico for a short time and want to see as much
as possible . . . Plan your main destination as the place you want
to spend most of your time, and hit the road for a few days. You
will find that the buss system in Mexico far surpasses anything in
the United States. It is cheap, clean, and even offers first class
busses complete with air conditioning, comfortable airline style
seats, and movies to help pass the time.
Remember . . . Mexico is not Disney Land. It is like any other country
in the world, and tips like staying in well lit areas
after dark where there are plenty of other people are just common
sense.
