The last time I was in Mexico, so was everyone, or so it seemed. But it is possible to travel to Mexico and enjoy a white sandy beach and a little peace and tranquility at the same time. All you need to know is when (and in some cases, when) to go.
When to go
November to April is widely considered the best time to visit. The summer months can be quite hot. From September to October is peak hurricane season, which actually extends from November to June.
Note that the month of March tends to be very busy on the beaches of Mexico with high school and university holidays spring. If it is a relaxing holiday you want, you want to avoid the time around Christmas and Easter and in July and August.
Where Go
There is much more to Mexico and the Yucatan peninsula, the city of Cancun.
Here are five destinations that offer unforgettable vacation in Mexico. Each of these places can come flying to Cancun. So if you want to get a taste of big-city station and then take the path less traveled, you have the best of both worlds.
1. Isla Mujeres. Just 8 miles across the bay from Cancun, Isla Mujeres is a peaceful fishing village with restaurants, shops and small, charming hotels. In fact, the whole island is welcoming: The island itself is less than a mile wide and three miles long. Isla Mujeres Center extends only about six blocks. The signature turquoise waters and white sand beaches for great snorkeling and diving. You can rent kayaks, snorkeling gear and the right of other fishing gear on the beach. Other activities to enjoy during your stay in Isla Mujeres include fishing, sailing, and swimming with dolphins.
2. Riviera Maya extends to the peninsula from Cancun to Tulum. Here you will find white sand beaches and water sports of all kinds, including diving reefs along the Great Maya Reef, the second largest barrier reef system in the world. The divers and divers may be rewarded with the sight of the water of life ranging from sea anemones, sponges and sea cucumbers to starfish and sea urchins, as well as underwater caves. Sport fishing is big business in the Riviera Maya, too. Other activities such as golf, spa in progress, and ecological tourism in different ecological reserves in the region. Two highlights: the ecological park Xcaret and bioshphere Sian Kaan.
3. Playa del Carmen. About 40 minutes drive from the coast of Cancun, Playa del Carmen is growing into a place of entertainment in the Riviera Maya. If you like shopping, you'll love Playa del Carmen. Boutiques offer everything from European avant-garde fashion to crafts of local artisans.
During your stay, do not miss Fifth Avenue (Fifth Avenue). It is the heart of Playa. There are no cars, you can walk down the avenue and be entertained by street performers, including artists and musicians. Playa del Carmen, also has a dining release, since most restaurants in the Riviera Maya are here, and very few of them are on Fifth Avenue itself. Bars and clubs are jumping on the evening, so bring your dancing shoes.
4. XelHa. XelHa is a archaeological and ecological park, located between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. This destination offers adventure for all ages and fascinating places of ecological interest and such as water sports like diving and snorkeling. You can swim with dolphins here, too. XelHa is particularly nice for families and is designed to be an education, both in Mayan history and ecology for the whole family.
5. Tulum. Drive a little farther south on the Mayan coast is the small town of Tulum. Tulum is perhaps best known for its Mayan ruins on top of limestone cliffs. These cliffs offer scenery that is not soon forgotten in the Caribbean along with a perfect picture of the coast. Tulum is the starting point for ecotourism and adventure tourism, so be sure to look at day trips and sites premises.
For the perfect holiday and well rounded, try gradeur few days exploring the Riviera Maya, then take some time to buy and play in the lively Playa del Carmen and one or two days visiting the Mayan ruins and taking in the sites of Tulum.
The word is out of these magnificent resorts, therefore not be able to avoid crowds all, but deleting and fun off the road, find a good balance, and learn a lot about the ecology and the Mayan culture.
