Nestled along the southern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, Bacalar is often referred to as the “Lagoon of Seven Colors”. This mesmerizing freshwater lake captivates visitors with its ever-changing shades of blue and turquoise. Don’t miss the Cenote Azul, a nearby natural wonder perfect for swimming and diving.
Sayulita, Nayarit
Sayulita is a bohemian surf town on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, renowned for its laid-back vibes and colorful charm. Embrace the relaxed atmosphere as you explore the cobblestone streets, artisan markets, and hidden beaches.
Real de Catorce, San Luis Potosi
Step back in time as you wander through the cobbled streets of Real de Catorce, a former silver mining town nestled in the Sierra de Catorce mountains. This magical place is steeped in history, with well-preserved colonial architecture and ancient churches. Take a ride on a local “tayac” (a traditional open-air vehicle) to reach the famous Wewa (cactus-lined desert plateau) for awe-inspiring sunsets.

Acapulco
Acapulco is a popular beach resort town located on the country’s Pacific coast.

Here, you’ll find hopping nightlife, pristine and clean beaches, and amazing sea cliffs from which you can jump!
Playa del Carmen
Looking for a more natural and laid-back alternative to destinations like Cancun and Cozumel? Check out Playa del Carmen, which is also located in the Riviera Maya region.

]]>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.
