It’s time to get reacquainted with Mexico! Here are our top picks for a unique Mexican vacation any time of year.
Ethnic Mexican DressesArt in Mexico – San Migel de Allende Nestled high in the cool hills of the Mexican altiplano, San Miguel De Allende is one the hippest, busiest, most charming towns in Mexico. This seductive little city offers the alternative traveler numerous to the arts.

Culinary Mexico - Oaxaca
Oaxaca food is famous throughout the world for its unique flair and combination of spices that are found almost nowhere else in Mexico.

Surfing in Puerto Escondido
Puerto Escondido, which means “Hidden Port” in Spanish, was established as a small town in 1928, though it has grown significantly since then and is world famous for its surfing waves.

Day of the Dead – Mexico City
The Day of the Dead in Mexico City is one of Mexico’s most exciting events, and offers an excellent way to experience the culture and history of the city and its people.

Folklore in Guadalajara
Many foreigners regard it as the most Mexican of Mexican cities because much of what foreigners see as typical Mexican folklore had its origins here.

Floating Gardens of Xochimilco
Xochimilco is touted as the Mexican Venice. Its 180-kilometer tree-lined canals are plied by brightly colored and flower-decked trajineras, the local equivalent of the gondola.

Tequila in Jalisco
If you think tequila was designed to give poor university students a quick drunk, a visit to the Mexican state of Jalisco - where the vast majority of the drink is made - will change your mind.

Silver in Taxco
Taxco is known throughout the world as the silver capital of Mexico. In 1524, Cortes opened the silver mines of Taxco in the hills of the Sierra Madre, after discovering the use the Aztecs had been making of the silver for years.

History and World Heritage
UNESCO’s World Heritage sites are cultural, natural or mixed landmarks that represent the rich culture of a country and deserve international recognition.

Copper Canyon
We were visiting the Sierra Madre mountain range in the Copper Canyon, one of the most rugged places on earth - at or near the top of the most desirable list of many travelers.
