Useful information about Holidays in Mexico

Regions

The country of Mexico is located in South America. It is a traveller's paradise, crammed with an array of contrasting and opposite identities: desert landscapes, snow-capped volcanoes, lost ruins, industrialised cities, colonial towns stuck in time, up-market resorts, deserted beaches and a unique collection of flora and fauna. There are many excellent value for money cheap and bargain holidays to Mexico as well as exciting all-inclusive and package holidays.

The key to Mexico’s charm is the distinct mix of modern and traditional. Whether your ideal holiday consists of throwing back margaritas, listening to howler monkeys, surfing the Mexican Pipeline, adventuring over Mayan ruins or revitalising your Day of the Dead collection of weird skeletons.

The west coast of Mexico contains small fishing towns like Puerto Angel, and beach resorts like Acapulco overlooking the Pacific Ocean. To the east, the white beaches of Cancun and Cozumel are extremely well known around the world for their beauty. Mexico is definitely a blend of cultures, customs and a place where history is brought to life.

The climate throughout Mexico is characterised by high temperatures and moderate to low rainfall.

Mexico City
The bustling heart of the country is Mexico City, sweeping out over the central Zócalo Square. This is a city of speeding taxis and busy market-stalls, entwined with colourful Aztec dancers and panaderías with their freshly baked pastries. In nearby Xochimilco, wonderfully decorated trajineras (large, flat gondolas) drift past delicate floating terraces of flowers to the delightful sound of mariachi music. The excellent Holiday Inn in Mexico City is a great place to stay and package holidays and all-inclusive vacations are very popular.

Cancun
Cancun lies on the north-east tip of the Yacatan Peninsula, on the Caribbean coast. Cancun is a modern, purpose built resort with first class facilities and an exciting atmosphere drawing on strong American influences. Cancun is perfectly situated to explore the ancient ruins of Tulum and Chichen Itza and it has over 12 miles of superb white sandy beaches. Cancun has developed along a strip of land that lies between the sea and a beautiful lagoon. Good all inclusive holidays, package holidays and some cheap bargain holidays to Cancun are available. The north facing beaches and sea are protected by the Isla Mujeres, which helps to create ideal conditions for water sports and bathing. The soft white coral sand stretches for miles, and is definitely a sun worshippers paradise; these features have helped to make Cancun Mexico’s premier tourist resort.

Puerto Vallarta
Set against the backdrop of the Sierra Madre Mountains, Puerto Vallarta exudes Mexican character and charm that it has retained from its early days as a tiny fishing village. Whilst the old town continues to retain much of its architecture and cobbled streets, a few kilometres away a vibrant marina boasts ultra-modern bars and a variety of restaurants. To service this growing resort there is an array of quality all inclusive deals and bargain holidays to Puerto Vallara are readily available. An excellent place to stay for first time visitors is the Holiday Inn in Puerto Vallarta.

All-Inclusive Holiday to Mexico

Most hotel rooms will have satellite TV, air conditioning, bathroom and balcony.
