Travel to Mexico

Playa Santa Maria

Come early for this prime snorkeling location. Playa Santa Maria is well-known as one of the best beaches near Cabo for underwater wildlife; its curved north wall shelters a reef where tropical fish live and eat. Most of the tour operators offering snorkeling tours will be bringing tourists to this beach and typically arrive around 10am. Remember in the morning everything is better besides you get to avoid te annoying salers that invade the beach.

Land's end

At the southernmost tip of the Baja peninsula, lies one of Cabo's most famous landmarks. This area is comprised of a large cluster of rock formations that were naturally carved into fantastic shapes by wind and sea. During low tide, many tourists enjoy to walk here along Playa del Amante (Lover's Beach) because it allows for a better view of an eroded passageway called the Arch of Poseidon

Torre Latinoamericana

The Torre Latinoamericana is one of Mexico DF most important landmarks, with a height of 597 feet and 44 stories. It was built on 1956 and was the tallest building of the city until 1984. In 2006, the tower celebrated its 50th anniversary, and the 37th to 44th floors were reopened, a site museum is present now, and a fully remodeled Mirador, the observation deck designed by Danish-born architect Palle Seiersen Frost.

Puerto Morelos

Puerto Morelos is a sleepy fishing town that is a great day trip from Cancun.  For around $20 you can go with a guide out to the reef. The coral is terrific and you will see some outstanding fish: trumpet fish, blowfish, barracuda, cow fish, etc. After snorkeling you can get a nice meal at one of the restaurants in town. Definitely a highlight for your trip and you'll likely be going back in your next trip.

Playa del Sol (Sun Beach)

You really can do so many things at playa sol! this beach has an impressive view, fun and weird little shops, good food and of course open bars, dancing, music, and lots of water entertainment. you can kayak, climb the "iceberg" or hop on a trampoline in the ocean, play volleyball or simply relax in the sun amongst all the happy vacationers. there is even a little monkey park you can walk through!

Guanajuato

Guanajuato is a city in central Mexico, capital of Guanajuato state and its name means "Place of Frogs" in the local indigenous language. It is a beautiful mountain colonial town, used to be a major silver mining town and many of the mines are still active. The city has a network of underground tunnels that serve as roads making this place really unique in the world.

San Ignacio

San Ignacio is a palm oasis town in the state of Baja California, at the site of the Jesuit Mission San Ignacio founded in 1728. There is a large spring pond and a small river on the outskirts of town, surrounded by a large grove of lush green date palms, and it is an amazing place to explore. In the town, you will find some beautiful 18th century buildings from the Jesuit mission.

Guerrero Negro

Guerrero Negro is a city located on the edge of the Vizcaino Desert, in Baja California. Its primary industry is salt, but I highly recommend you pay a visit to this city, specially to the Laguna Ojo de Liebre or Scammon's Lagoon, where you can enjoy whale watching, I promise it is a lifetime experience!

National Palace (Palacio Nacional)

This isn't Versailles, but it was the Viceroy's palace during the colonial period, and now is a government building. The best thing is the murals, painted by one of Mexico's greatest and most famous artists. It's free to get in, but you must have an ID on you (no age limit though). These murals are some of Rivera's most famous. The palace has a courtyard in the middle, and the rooms on every floor open out onto the courtyard, so there is an open hallway on the second floor, which you can circulate around to take in all the murals. Brilliant work. At 6:00pm every day, the huge flag in the center of the adjoining Zócalo (main plaza) is lowered, with a military ceremony. The platoon which guards the square and performs the ceremony starts from the Palacio and returns there at the end. The Zócalo is the beating heart of Mexico City and is not to be missed, the Palacio is part of that.

San Quintín

San Quintín is a coastal town, located on the west coast of Baja California, and has very beautiful beaches and many places for tourists to stay and can enjoy fishing, camping, bird watching, surfing, and clam digging. You can also visit the Misión Santo Domingo de la Frontera, situated about 20km north of town.
