Mexico, a country rich in culture, history, and natural beauty, is a captivating destination that offers a plethora of experiences for travelers. Whether you’re exploring ancient ruins, indulging in flavorful cuisine, or relaxing on pristine beaches, Mexico has it all. However, like any travel destination, it’s essential to be aware of certain factors to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. Here are some things to remember for when you go.

Research Customs

First and foremost, it’s advisable to research and respect the local customs and traditions. Mexicans take great pride in their heritage, so familiarize yourself with basic etiquette, such as greeting people with a friendly “Hola” and respecting religious sites and ceremonies.

Be Weary Of The Water

When it comes to food and water, exercise caution to avoid any digestive discomfort. While Mexican cuisine is renowned for its flavors, it’s recommended to consume food from reputable establishments and drink bottled water. Embrace the culinary delights but be mindful of your choices to ensure a delightful gastronomic experience.

Careful With The Transportation

Additionally, familiarize yourself with the local transportation options and use licensed taxis or ride-sharing services for safer travels within cities. It’s also advisable to keep an eye on your belongings and be cautious in crowded areas to minimize the risk of petty theft.

If there is one country in Latin America that is synonymous with picture-perfect beaches, it might just be Mexico. With a handful of destinations that offer up idyllic weather, soft sand, and a perfect environment in which to relax, it’s no wonder that millions of tourists visit this country on a yearly basis to visit its beaches.

Here are our picks for the top beach destinations in Mexico.

Acapulco

Acapulco is a popular beach resort town located on the country’s Pacific coast. It is known as a popular beach destination for Mexicans living in the capital of Mexico City due to its close proximity.

Chilaquiles is another great type of Mexican dish that’s an absolute must-try. It is primarily eaten at breakfast. Here are the many ways Chilaquiles can be eaten, and how they make for an amazing party dish.

Eat it on a Bed of Fries

Chilaquiles is a versatile dish that can be eaten plain, with nachos or even on a bed of crispy fries. It’s usually topped with a sour cream sauce and onion rings, sprinkled with fresh avocado and tomatoes. Oftentimes, they’ll chuck in an egg for extra protein.

Salsa Fever

Salsa is one of the main ingredients in this savory dish. While chilaquiles is traditionally made with white sauce, in Tamaulipas (on the northeast part of Mexico) cooks use tomato sauce instead of white sauce.

Mexico’s drink scene is about so much more than margaritas and micheladas. In fact, outside of its favorite alcoholic beverages, this Central American country has all kinds of delicious non-alcoholic drinks that you can try on your vacation south of the border.

Here are four that you must order while in Mexico.

Agua de Jamaica

Agua de Jamaica can easily be described as a hibiscus iced tea. Steeped with dried hibiscus flowers and then enhanced with sugar and a little bit of lime, this is a great caffeine-free alternative to iced tea.

Jarritos

Looking to give a Mexican drink a try but don’t want to make one of your own in the kitchen? Pop into your local Latin American grocery store and buy one of these delicious fruit sodas, which are beloved in Mexico.

Horchata

Mexican horchata is different from its Spanish cousin as it uses rice and cinnamon as the base to make this creamy, milky drink. Some people think it’s just too rich, but I think it’s a perfect way to beat the heat.

Aguas Frescas

Now, this is a Mexican drink that you can customize endlessly. What is agua fresca? Well, it’s essentially a fruit slushy that can be made with the fruit of your choice, some ice, and some lime juice. Yum.
