Travel To Mexico - Top 10 Best Places

There are quite a number of places to visit in this large gem in the North America and you’ll have to spend years to travel if you do not have clear directions. I’ve do you a favor and sorted out the 10 best spots you must not miss. Hope you love this A-list.

Cancun - One of the world’s most popular and famous beaches, known for its clear Caribbean waters, its lively party atmosphere, and its wealth of recreational facilities. During Spring Break it is noted for drinking, sunburning, and debauchery.
Mexico City - Highland megalopolis, ancient Aztec capital, kaleidoscopic canvas of riveting museums, culinary adventures and masked wrestlers
Playa del Carmen - The Riviera Maya’s toniest stop offers amazing daytrips to crystalline cenotes, spectacular diving and an 800-year-old ruin or two
Acapulco - A sophisticated urban beach setting known for its top-notch nightlife, elegant dining, and nightmarish traffic. Many of the older (pre-1990s) concrete structures have suffered tropical decay.
Mazatlan - A gorgeous colonial district only a short walk from a 20km-long crescent of sandy beach
Tijuana - Mexico’s busiest border crossing for pedestrians and private vehicles, and a long-time bargain Mecca for southern Californians due to its proximity with San Diego.
Monterrey - A large modern city that is the commercial and industrial hub of Northern Mexico. Monterrey enjoys a dry, mountainous setting and is known for its high-quality educational and transportation infrastructure.
Guadalajara - A traditional city, capital of Jalisco state, and the home of mariachi music and tequila. Guadalajara is blessed with perpetual spring weather and its colonial downtown is graceful and sophisticated.
Oaxaca - Fascinatingly lovely colonial city with great crafts, great ruins and great food
Teotihuacan - Explore a pair of mysterious and majestic pyramids, remnants of a mighty civilization

Outside looking in..

Copper Canyon - Ride the train, a horse, a bike - or just use your feet - to explore the awesome canyon country
Merida - Stroll the colonial-era streets of the Yucatán Peninsula’s cultural capital and buy a local hammock for your travels
Guanajuato - A vibrant and picturesque city with a lively student scene, great cultural activities and a fascinating past
Cuernavaca - the heart of Mexico, surrounded by some of the most beautiful and culturally rich regions of the country.
San Luis Potosi - Located in central Mexico, a colonial city that was once an important silver producer, but today, relies on manufacturing for its economic base.
Puerto Escondido - Super-relaxed coastal town for all tastes: surf, beaches, fishing, wildlife, nightlife
Palenque - Ancient Maya temples rise majestically from a thick steamy jungle
Taxco - In central Mexico west of Cuernavaca, this steep mountain town was once a major silver producer, and now has a strong place in the trade of decorative silver, from cheap fittings to the most elegant jewelry and elaborate castings.
Morelia - One of Mexico’s least known but most beautiful colonial cities, with rooftop bars and clubs nestled in Spanish relics
Valladolid - A gorgeous colonial city, located strategically between Merida and Cancun, to only 40 kilometers of the majestic Chichen Itza

3 Reasons Why I Love Mexico

Hey are you kidding me? This is a superstar travel destination, simply pick someone from the world’s most populated street of Tokyo and ask him to give his reasons to fall in love with Mexico, he is going to blurt out 99 reasons easily. But rule will be rule, let’s just give my own 3 absurdly best (Or I should say “bestly” absurd?) reasons to extol its beauty to the skies.

Oh my god! I’m being sucked into the time sliders again. It’s exhilarating man! Alright, I’m into my own imagination again so if you’re new here please ignore this. As you all know I love hunting stuff from the street fashion in Japan to the high fashion in Paris or Milan, travel through time back and forth from the ancient to modern world. I would never forget the amazing trip to the ancient Mexico. I was totally falling in love with traditional Mexican clothing. It has been sought after from ages ago until today. Sombrero is my favorite!
Oops, sombrero reminds me of the many historical cities standing in style across this land. They were built during the time of the Spanish colony. You know I love history. Isn’t that great to see what Fernandes Torres’ great great grandpa and his comrades left in Mexico centuries ago? Gosh! This is a real freak question. Could this be in any way implying the love for this country? YES. I’m after all a freak traveler traversing through time for the journey of life. Everyday there are thousands of travelers walking around the world just to visit historical sites and seek the true meaning of living the moment, reminiscing the past, thinking of the future.
Ok, you don’t care about all these crappy philosophies but want to live life cool. You love challenging your limit and putting your life at stake, that’s what you define as the real significance of life. Now come with me, we are going to experience the world-class canyoning that clearly tells you your limit, and human insignificance compared to the intimidating grandeur of the great Copper Canyon. I love Mexico!
