WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT US

Journey Mexico planned a wonderful anniversary trip for us. Zach and his team really know the best spots in Mexico. They were there with ideas and support throughout the trip. Fantastic and super responsive. Highly recommend.

Jessica S. G. October 2022

We worked with Journey Mexico on our recent trip to Merida. The trip was amazing and exceeded all expectations. Each day and activity was well planned. For a family of 5 (including 3 children) it’s often hard to find something for everyone. Everyone that we encountered was phenomenal, from our travel assistant Jesús, to our driver Sergio, to our tour guide Angel. They worked hard to make sure that our trip was all that we wanted it to be, and it was perfect! I highly recommend!

Ashley P. October 2022, Yucatan Peninsula

Wonderful, attentive and responsive Travel Agency based in Mexico. My wife and I booked a 10-day trip to Oaxaca, Mexico with Journey Mexico. They were very helpful and responsive during the planning stage. Followed up to make sure we were ready for the trip and assigned a travel assistant to assist during our trip. She was always just a text message away - 24/7. Very helpful. We had an issue come up during the trip and she immediately responded and did everything possible to solve the problem. Highly recommend this group - we will use them any time we are traveling in Mexico.

Steven C. October 2022, Oaxaca City & Puerto Escondido

Thanks for following up. We had a lovely time - most specifically the property was perfect for the weekend & the staff, Rodolfo & Chef Hector & team were absolute perfection. They were the perfect addition to making our stay so personal (and with the most amazing food & cocktails!). Our driver for our Tulum trip was also very kind & attentive. Thanks again for all the help and support from your side setting up the activities & managing our menu & grocery, and responding to our many questions!! The group is already looking forward to booking with Journey Mexico again.

Kristin M. Sept 2022, Alma Rosa Bachelorete

I just wanted to thank you for all you did to arrange our stay at Villa Mariola. Everything was ready for us when we arrived and the safety gates created the safe environment that we needed with 4 toddlers. The villa was comfortable and the staff was pleasant, hard working and accommodating. The chef’s Rafael and Alex are amazing, every meal that they created was like eating in an upscale New York restaurant. Thank you again, Debbie and the Tosi and Muser families

Before You Go

• To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
• Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
• Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
• Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
• If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
• For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.

Sargassum/Seaweed Advisory

Sargassum is a free-floating seaweed that is especially prolific in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. While beneficial to ocean life, these large free-floating seaweed mats often wash up on beaches. The amount of seaweed on the beaches fluctuates based on the time of year and ocean currents. While resorts do their best to maintain the beaches for their guests, you may experience some inconvenience during your stay.

Mexico Tours & Trips

Peel back the lucha libre mask and you’ll find a patchwork of cultures and customs mixed into one flavor-filled country.

The gregarious locals are just as likely to pull you up for a dance at one of Mexico City ’s hip-shaking salsa clubs as they are to show you the way to one of the country’s many ancient ruins , all with a casual ‘hola’ and an inviting smile. While our tours get you up close with locals, they also show you the best sights from on and off the gringo trail. You can party until dawn in Playa del Carmen , eat your way into a food coma in colorful Oaxaca , or, best of all, kick back with a horchata in the lazy seaside port of Merida .

Best time to visit mexico.

Mexico is generally most pleasant between September and June in the cool, dry season. July and August can be very hot and humid, but perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and lazing on the beach. These are, however, the busiest months for travel as this is the time of the North American school holidays. Highland areas such as Chiapas and Oaxaca tend to be cooler year-round, with cold nights.

Read more about the best time to visit Mexico

Culture and customs

Mexico lays claim to one of the richest and most historic cultures in the world. Characterized by strong regional identity, locals are affiliated directly to the region they hail from with each region having its own unique customs, cuisine and even language dialect. Despite this, national identity is still strong with all Mexicans sharing common bonds over their love of sport, dance, food and religion. With most of the country belonging to the Roman Catholic religion, religious festivals and celebrations are plentiful in Mexico. Parades, street fairs and parties held in honor of local saints are commonplace, and offer travelers the chance to witness the customs and rituals of this vibrant culture.

Eating and drinking

One of Mexico's biggest draws is its food and drink. From Oaxaca's indigenous staples to the sizzling street food of Mexico City, there's almost too much choice for the hungry traveler. By the end of your Mexico tour, you'll know your tacos from your tamales, your enchiladas from your elote and your tequila from your mezcal.

Eat your way through this vibrant country on our  9 day Mexico Real Food Adventure.

Geography and environment

Mexico shares land borders with the  United States ,  Belize  and  Guatemala , and has an extensive coastline that runs along the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

Featuring a wide variety of natural environments, Mexico is home to tracts of tropical rainforests, vast areas of low-lying plains and deserts, volcanic mountains and temperate beaches and lagoons.

Mexico's capital and major cities are typically built up, busy and lively – with a vast network of public transport, highways and roads. Rural areas, on the other hand, are distinctly less developed, with small-scale housing, unsealed roads and rustic farms.

History and government

Early history.

People have been living in Mexico for more than 13,000 years. Mesoamericans occupied the area early on, with archaeological evidence pointing towards Mesoamericans leading a hunter-gatherer existence. Maize farming is thought to have become commonplace by 1500 BC, which led to the farming of other commodities as well. A variety of cultures contributed to the early history of Mexico, with the Olmec, Toltec, Maya, Teotihuacan and Aztecs all bringing unique cultural, religious and artistic styles to the region, with the Mayan and Aztec Empires having the greatest (and most enduring) impact on the region. 

Mayan society can be traced back to 300 BC, while the Aztecs enjoyed prosperity from 1325 to around 1521 AD. Many ancient ruins and constructions from these periods are still standing all throughout Mexico and can be visited and viewed today. By the 16th century, the Spanish had arrived in Mexico and what followed was a period of colonialism that lasted nearly 300 years. 

During this time, Mexico was seen as a part of ‘New Spain’ along with Cuba and Puerto Rico. This was not a particularly good time for Mexicans who (under colonial law) were generally not allowed to travel outside of Mexico and were denied access to education. Mexico achieved independence from the Spaniards after the War of Independence (1810-1821) but peace was short-lived as two decades later the Mexican-American War brought more confrontation and armed conflict to parts of Mexico.

Recent history

Mexico’s Revolution of 1910 - 1921 was a period of instability, marked by political turmoil and bloodshed. More recently, Mexico has enjoyed an economic resurgence after decades of economic hardship, which lasted from the 1970s to the mid-1990s. The earthquake of 1985 didn’t help matters, with wide-scale damage and loss of life compounding the economic problems and political uncertainty of Mexico. Currently, Mexico is benefiting from a period of improved economic conditions, although the gap between the wages earned by Mexicans and their northern neighbors continues to widen. Mexico is now operating in a free market economy and the growth of tourism, agriculture and industry has ensured an improved economy for the country, although financial inequality still exists within.

Memorable moments of Mexico

1. ramble among the ruins.

A visit to the famed ruins of Chichen Itza reveals history, ancient architecture, and wildlife in equal measure. Walk through the complex and hear jungle animal calls as colorful birds fly among the canopy. This is a stirring experience to treasure.

2. Bittersweet bites

The cult of chocolate is well and truly alive in Oaxaca! The flavors here are simply phenomenal and unlike mass-produced chocolate in the Western world. Spiced with chili, cinnamon and cloves, you won’t soon forget the taste of Oaxacan chocolate.

3. Sunshine and snorkeling

Mexico’s Caribbean coastline showcases expanses of clear blue water, white sand beaches, vibrant reefs and plenty of sunshine. Snorkeling over colorful fish and sun-lit coral is simply unforgettable.

4. Mountain majesty

The cooler climate and fresh mountain air of San Cristobal de las Casas provides some respite from the city heat. Chilling out in this relaxed and visually stunning area is a magical Mexican moment.

5. Bus buddies

Catching a local bus in Mexico is a never-ending source of amusement. Overcome the language barrier and make friends with local commuters to pass the time.

6. Tequila!

No visit to Mexico is complete without downing a little bit of the national drink. While you may not remember every detail the morning after, good times and memorable holiday snapshots are guaranteed when tequila is involved.

7. Volcanic splendor

Mexico’s volcanic landscapes are photo-worthy and awe-inspiring. Hiking past rocky escarpments and surreal scenery is a rewarding travel experience to remember.

8. Village people

Sharing smiles and laughs with locals while strolling through the rural villages of Mexico is a simple, yet memorable way to see the real heart of Mexico - its people.

9. Mariachi melodies

Sway to the unique sounds of Mexico’s mariachi music in the streets and cafes of Mexico. The rhythms and beats will live in your heart for years to come.

10. To market, to market

Witness Latin America’s time-honored commercial traditions unfold in Mexico’s well-patronized markets. Hear the banter of stallholders, smell the fragrant scent of sizzling meat and admire the colorful array of wares on offer.

Top places to visit in Mexico

This coastal town is well-known for its incredible cliff-top Mayan temple ruins with expansive ocean views. But outside of architectural wonders, Tulum also has quite a few natural wonders. Spend some time exploring Tulum's numerous cenotes and caves for unforgettable snorkeling and diving.

Explore Tulum on our 8 day Yucatan Peninsula Adventure or on our 8 day Premium Mexico Yucatan Highlights tour.

Numerous significant architectural sites, baroque churches and impressive cultural displays may have landed Oaxaca the badge of Unesco World Heritage Site, but in recent years, the city has gained notoriety as a culinary destination. Make sure to try regional specialties like tlayudas, mole and mezcal.

Get a taste of Oaxaca on our 9 day Mexico Real Food Adventure.

3. San Cristobal

Set in a valley surrounded by pine forests, San Cristóbal de las Casas has a bright yellow cathedral, pastel houses and buildings draped in deep pink bougainvillea, making it one of Mexico's most colorful cities. Stop by the local markets to browse locally-made handicrafts with colors that rival those of the city itself.

Explore this colorful city on our 15 day Best of Mexico tour.

Travelers will be delighted with the range of good quality shopping available in Mexico. As usual, the markets offer some of the most cost-effective and fun ways to shop, although Mexico’s cities also showcase some excellent boutiques and galleries for more costly purchases. 

It's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. The United States and Canada generally have strict customs laws.

Things to buy in Mexico

1. Tiles, ceramics and earthenware

Mexico has a longstanding tradition of creating good-quality pottery. Hit the artisan markets for colorful pots, vases and jugs. Don’t forget to pack carefully.

2. Bright textiles

Woven textiles can be found almost everywhere in Mexico. Hand-woven rugs, blankets, scarves, and ponchos are great reminders of your time in Mexico.

The silver in Mexico is among the world's best. Rings, necklaces and bracelets featuring bold Aztec designs are popular choices.

4. Lucha Libre masks

This Mexican wrestling phenomenon is growing in popularity worldwide, so grab a colorful wrestling mask - it’s a great souvenir for kids (and big kids) at home.

Festivals and events in Mexico

Mexico is the land of the fiesta and the locals will find any reason to party. Whether they're celebrating independence, the saints or the dead, you can expect vibrant colors, lively music and a whole lot of dancing. One to keep an eye out for is the Autumn Equinox, when crowds gather at Chichen Itza to witness the sunlight and shadows play tricks on this ancient relic. During the autumn (and spring) equinox, the sun moves across Chichen Itza, illuminating parts of the temple to reveal the moving body of a snake. Not seen on any other days, this natural spectacle draws thousands of pilgrims.

Mexico travel faqs, do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

When is the best time to visit Mexico?

Mexico is a country of varied landscapes and altitudes and the best time to visit depends on a variety of factors, the first of which is where you actually want to go.

Is it safe to visit Mexico?

Mexico has long been a popular tourist destination and most travelers do not run into any trouble. There are, however, areas that experience high levels of violent crime as a result of lawlessness and drug trafficking. That said, you can rest assured that Intrepid would not take you anywhere unless we were convinced it was safe.

Do I need a visa to travel to Mexico?

All tourists traveling to Mexico need a tourist permit, but not all need a visa. Citizens of the US, EU, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand are among those who do not need a visa and can obtain a tourist permit on arrival.

Is tipping customary in Mexico?

Tipping is expected in most parts of Mexico. The service workers typically earn a low wage and rely on tips to earn a decent living. We recommend leaving 10–15 percent at restaurants (if the service charge is not already included), 5–10 percent of your room cost for housekeepers, and a few dollars for porters, bartenders and guides.

What is the internet access like in Mexico?

Internet access is good in Mexico with wi-fi available in most accommodations, bigger restaurants, airports and in some public spaces. It’s also easy and affordable to buy a local SIM card for the duration of your Mexico tour.

Can I use my cell phone in Mexico?

If you wish to use your cell phone while in Mexico be sure to activate global roaming before leaving your home country. You should also check with your provider regarding any charges you may incur when overseas.

If you wish to purchase a local SIM card in Mexico, your phone must first be unlocked. For more information on local SIM cards, please read about   internet access in Mexico .

What are the toilets like in Mexico?

It's likely that you will encounter different types of toilets while traveling in Mexico. Western-style flushable toilets are commonly found in high-end resorts, hotels and restaurants, while squat toilets are common in rural areas and homes. Be prepared by carrying your own supply of toilet paper and soap, as these aren't always provided.

What will it cost for a...?

Mexico’s unit of currency is the peso:

• Cheap local meal = MXN 150.00
• Domestic beer at a restaurant = MXN 50
• One-way metro ticket in Mexico City = MXN 6.00
• Mid-range meal = MXN 400.00

Can I drink the water in Mexico?

We do not recommend drinking the water in Mexico.

For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water and fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water instead. Ask your leader where filtered water can be found; some hotels we stay in may have drinking water available, often boiled to use for tea or coffee.

It’s also advisable to avoid ice in drinks and to peel fruit and vegetables before eating.

Are credit cards widely accepted in Mexico?

Credit cards are generally accepted in Mexico at large stores and most mid- high-range hotels. Some cafes, bars and restaurants may accept card too, but the places with real character – and the best local food – tend to be cash only.

What is ATM access like in Mexico?

ATMs are available across towns and cities in Mexico. Travelers should not encounter trouble finding an ATM but be wary of international transaction fees. For your own safety, try to use ATMs in daylight hours.

What is the weather like in Mexico?

Mexico is renowned for its sunshine and sandy beaches, but the weather can vary depending on the region you’re traveling to and the time of year.

What public holidays are celebrated in Mexico?

• 1 Jan: New Year’s Day
• 5 Feb: Constitution Day
• 21 Mar: Day off for Benito Juarez’s Birthday Memorial (variable)
• April: Maundy Thursday/Good Friday (variable)
• 1 May: Labor Day
• 16 Sep: Independence Day
• Nov: Revolution Day Memorial (held 3rd Monday of the month)
• 12 Dec: Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe
• 25 Dec: Christmas Day

Please note:  Mexico public holidays may vary.

Is Mexico safe for LGBTQIA+ travellers?

Mexico is becoming increasingly more accepting of same-sex relationships and has laws in place to protect those that identify differently, but it remains a country of strong Catholicism that has historically been hostile towards the local LGBTQIA+ community.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting  Equaldex  or  ILGA  before you travel.

If you are travelling solo on an Intrepid group tour, you will share accommodation with a passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at time of booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly. A single supplement is available on some tours for travellers who do not wish to share a room.

Is Mexico accessible for travelers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Tourist destinations in Mexico including Mexico City and the resort areas on the Yucatan Peninsula are seeing an increasing number of hotels, restaurants and tourist sights fitted out to accommodate travelers with limitations. That said, it can still be difficult for those with mobility issues and visual and hearing issues, particularly on public transport. We recommend using taxis to move around locally and flying between cities if possible unless, of course, you are on an Intrepid Mexico tour.

If you do live with a visual, hearing or other impairment, let your booking agent or group leader know early on so they’re aware and suitable arrangements can be made. As a general rule, knowing some common words in the local language, carrying a written itinerary with you and taking to the streets in a group, rather than solo, can help make your travel experience the best it can be.

What should I wear in Mexico?

What you pack for your Mexico tour will depend on where you are traveling to. Mexico City, for example, will be much cooler than the coastal areas of Playa del Carmen or Tulum, thanks to its high altitude. In the winter, it can drop down towards freezing at night while reaching 73°F during the day, so it’s important to be prepared for both ends of the spectrum.

What's the accommodation like in Mexico?

Traveling with Intrepid is a little bit different. We endeavor to provide travelers with an authentic experience to remember, so we try to keep accommodation as unique and traditional as possible.

When traveling with us in Mexico you may find yourself staying in a basic hotel.

Intrepid prefers smaller character-filled hotels and guesthouses than hotel chains. When on vacation in Mexico, enjoy staying in small hotels owned and run by friendly locals.

Does my trip to Mexico support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to Mexico directly support our foundation partner, Gastromotiva Mexico.

Gastromotiva Mexico

Gastromotiva Mexico is tackling food scarcity and homelessness while promoting a sustainable food movement. Donations help them provide nutritious, balanced meals to community shelters for vulnerable people such as women affected by domestic violence and refugees.

Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance

What is it like traveling on a small group tour?

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or you’re about to embark on your first trip, traveling can be as intimidating as it is exciting. That's the beauty of a small group tour. From handling the logistics and organizing amazing cultural activities to local leaders who know each destination like the back of their hand (like which street has the best markets and where to get the most authentic food), traveling on a small group tour with Intrepid will give you unforgettable travel experiences without the hassle that comes with exploring a new place. Plus, you'll have ready-made friends to share the journey with. All you have to do is turn up with a healthy sense of adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.

Mexico is a fantastic vacation destination offering gorgeous beaches , sprawling resorts, fantastic water activities, and so much more. Plus, it’s close to the U.S., so it’s easy to get to from most of the country. It’s also a destination that’s ripe with amazing package deals.

These deals, which consist of a flight and a hotel stay, can often save a lot of money over booking those elements separately — we’ve found that a package often costs less than booking just the hotel separately (scroll down to our price comparison section to see the numbers)!

In this post, we’ll go over 10 of the best websites that you can use to find Mexico vacation packages and deals. We’ve done the research, so you should be able to quickly find a great vacation package that fits your budget.

Costco Travel is a great place to search for Mexico vacation package deals. Yes, you’ll need a Costco membership to book, but it can be worth it for the savings and bonuses you could get.

Take this example we found for a stay at JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa. In addition to a $99 Costco shop card, this deal comes with a $50 spa credit, a $50 food and beverage credit, and free dining for kids 11 and under. Those extra benefits far outweigh the cost of a basic $60 Costco membership .

Even better, with the $120 per year Executive membership, you’ll earn 2% back (up to $1,000) on your Costco purchases, including Costco Travel purchases. You could earn enough bonuses from just 1 trip to pay for either level of Costco membership and then some.

Bottom Line: What’s great is that while you’ll need a Costco membership to purchase a travel package, you can search Costco Travel without a membership . That means you can do price comparisons to see if you’re saving money before having to pay for a membership. For more information on how it all works, check out our guide to using Costco Travel .

Travelocity is a popular online travel agency. As with many sites, it’s powered by Expedia, so the search functions may look quite familiar. While it may look the same, the prices can be different than what you’d find on Expedia.

You may see a note on some of your search results saying you’ll save 100% on a flight when booking this package. Generally, we’re skeptical of these claims, so we did some math to see if this was an accurate claim.

Much to our surprise, it was more than accurate! While this package deal for 2 people costs $3,105.07, the hotel cost more than the package at $3,422.37 when booked separately! The flights were $978.40 in total. If you booked the hotel and flights separately, you’d pay $4,400.77 — that’s $1,295.70 more than the package deal. Wow!

Be sure to scroll down to the bottom to see how this package price stacks up to the prices on other websites. For more information, check out our guide to booking travel and saving money with Travelocity .

Bottom Line: Regardless of what type of Mexico package you choose, always be sure to pay with a credit card that will help you earn points and perks on your vacation .

Southwest Airlines flies to 4 popular destinations in Mexico — Cancún, Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta, and Los Cabos.

If you want to fly Southwest, you’ll have to search for a flight and hotel separately or book through Southwest Vacations because Southwest flights don’t show up on any third-party websites .

The good news is that when you book through Southwest Vacations, you’ll earn Southwest points for your purchase ! Unfortunately, you can’t use Rapid Rewards points to book your vacation, but this can still be a great option for Southwest fans.

You can do a traditional search or, if you’ve got some flexibility, you can search the best deals available. Just click on Deals > Mexico & Caribbean deals on the homepage.

While you’ll find great prices there, many of these packages are only offered on specific dates, so you may need to tweak your travel plans to take advantage of these offers.

Bottom Line: You’ll earn Rapid Rewards points on any package booked through Southwest Vacations, however, you can’t book a Southwest Vacations package with points. Get all the details in our guide to booking Southwest Vacations .

Mexican vacations are one of the specialties of Funjet Vacations , so it’s a great website to explore. What’s nice is that it’s easy to search for deals in lots of different Mexico locations with just 1 click.

Funjet Vacations offers a lot of all-inclusive resorts, so you may see those at the top of your search results — just scroll down a bit if you’d prefer a traditional hotel.

During the checkout process, you’ll be able to add extras such as trip protection, airport transfers, a rental car, and even sightseeing tours and excursions.

Hot Tip: If you decide you’d rather use points and miles for your Mexico vacation, check out our guides on how to fly to Mexico with points and miles and the best Mexico hotels to book with points .

Yes, there are plenty of spots in Mexico that aren’t part of the Caribbean, but CheapCaribbean.com is still a great website to use.

If you’re not quite sure where in Mexico you’d like to go, just select Mexico from the Destinations tab on the home page to see a list of deals all over the country . You can then scroll through everything that’s available or use the filtering options to narrow your results.

Hot Tip: If you need some travel inspiration, check out these popular all-inclusive resorts in Mexico .

Expedia is a popular site for booking travel for a reason — it’s easy to use and often has great deals. You can customize your vacation package to include flights, hotel, and/or a rental car.

You’ll see many options to filter your search results, including by properties that offer free cancellation. Plus, Expedia has a great map feature if you’d like to find a hotel in a specific location.

Expedia even has its own rewards program called One Key . With this program, you’ll be able to earn and use points on eligible trips and gain access to special member pricing. This is a nice way to earn rewards when you’re not participating in a hotel chain’s loyalty program.

Orbitz is a tried-and-true online travel agency that’s easy to use and often has great deals. One of the nice things about using Orbitz is that it has its own rewards program, which comes in handy if you tend to book hotels through a third-party website. You’ll earn Orbucks on all of your purchases, which can then be applied to hotels booked through the site.

Keep in mind, though, if you book a hotel that has its own loyalty program (such as Hilton, Marriott, or Hyatt) you won’t earn points or elite night credits when you don’t book direct. Plus, any status you already have may not be recognized. If you aren’t chasing elite status or worried about collecting hotel points, that might not be an issue, but it’s something to keep in mind.

For more information, including how the Orbitz Rewards program works, check out our guide to booking travel with Orbitz .

Hot Tip: If you book a hotel that has its own loyalty program such as Hilton, Hyatt, or IHG, you won’t earn hotel loyalty points or earn elite credit for your booking with a third party. Plus, any status you already have may not be recognized.

Apple Vacations is another website that has lots of deals on Mexico vacation packages. If you’ve got some flexibility, you can scroll through the list of deals by clicking on Destinations > Mexico on the homepage. However, you’ll notice that those deals all have specific travel dates that they are valid for.

If you have set travel dates, you can use the regular search feature on the homepage.

Hot Tip: When you book a hotel through a third-party website, you may have to pay additional fees, like resort fees, at the hotel. Be sure to read all of your package information carefully, because it’s not always obvious that there may be additional charges.

Kayak is a metasearch engine that searches all of the other sites so you can quickly get a sense of where to find the best deal. It’s a very useful tool to search for flights and hotels, but it’s also a great way to find vacation packages.

Just select Packages on the home page and then you can enter a specific resort or search by city or country.

Once you get your search results, you’ll be able to see which website is offering each deal. Then you’ll be transferred to that website to finish your booking.

Whenever you decide to book a flight, hotel, or vacation package through Kayak, always check the price on the mobile app. Often you’ll find mobile-only deals and Kayak’s new loyalty program, KAYAK Explorer is only available through the app.

Hot Tip: For more information, refer to our complete guide to using Kayak to book travel .

United Vacations is a great place to search for Mexico vacation packages, especially if you’re a fan of United or live near a United hub. While the downside of this site is that you’re limited to United flights, that can be a positive for some.

Like many other sites, you can add extras such as trip protection and even sightseeing excursions during the check-out process. The unique thing about booking through United Vacations is that when you provide your MileagePlus number at booking, you’ll earn United miles on your vacation package.

Plus, United Vacations has deals on hotels and resorts in 25 different locations in Mexico. If you’re not sure exactly where you want to go, start at the dedicated Mexico vacations page for some ideas and to search for featured deals.

Bottom Line: You’ll earn United MileagePlus miles when you book a vacation package through United Vacations, but you can’t redeem miles for any part of your trip.

Now that we’ve gone over some of the best websites to use, let’s take a look at the numbers. We priced out 2 different vacation packages on each website to see which one offered the best deal. Here’s what we found.

Package #1: 7-night stay for 2 people at JW Marriott Los Cabos plus roundtrip flights between Chicago (ORD) and Los Cabos (SJD)

Package #2: 7-night stay for 2 people at Breathless Cancun Soul Resort & Spa by AMR Collection All-Inclusive plus roundtrip flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Cancún (CUN)

As is the case in most of these price comparisons, the results vary quite a bit. As you can see, there is no single website that always has the best deal. Funjet Vacations had the cheapest price on the Los Cabos package , but one of the highest prices on the Cancún package. Kayak had the lowest price on the Cancún package  but was in the middle of the pack for the Los Cabos package.

However, when you compare these prices to the price of booking the hotel and flight separately, all of these packages saved money . In the first package example, if you were to book the JW Marriott Los Cabos directly it would cost $3,324.59! That’s more than any of the package deals and doesn’t even include a flight!

The cost of the hotel in package #2 if booked separately was $3,415, which is close to what you’d pay for a package, just without the flights.

The lesson here is twofold. First, you’ll most likely save money by booking a package deal . Second, there’s no one website that will always have the best price, so you’ll need to check out a few options before you book.

Mexico is a perfect destination for a beach vacation and there are lots of websites offering great package deals to the country’s most popular spots, including Cancún , Los Cabos, and Puerto Vallarta.

While you can often save money by booking a package deal versus a flight and hotel separately, there’s not a single website that always has the best prices. When you’re ready to book, price out your trip on a few different sites to see where you can get the best deal. If you start with some of the websites we discussed, here you’re sure to find a great vacation package that will save you money.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do i get the best deal on a mexican vacation.

To get the best deal on a Mexican vacation, try looking at package deals that include a hotel stay and flights.

How much does a vacation in Mexico cost?

The cost of your Mexico vacation will depend greatly on what type of hotel or resort you book.

Use a metasearch engine such as Kayak to price out a couple of different options to get a sense of what you can expect to pay.

Is a vacation package cheaper?

While a vacation package isn’t always cheaper, our research has revealed that more often than not, it’s cheaper to book a package deal including a flight and hotel stay. Be sure to price out your trip on a few different websites before booking to make sure you’re getting a deal that works for you.

Mexico - Private Travel

Mexico is a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, smells and tastes—a travel experience that can be enjoyed in a wide variety of exciting ways. Along any of its soothing coastlines or throughout the dynamic interior, from the rural routes to the bustling cities, private travel in Mexico is a fascinating and complete adventure.

Mexico provides the ultimate immersion in Latin American culture and tradition.

Private travel in Mexico provides the ultimate immersion in Latin American culture and tradition. Los Cabos at the tip of the Baja Peninsula is celebrity splendor, while Playa del Carmen is unforgettable with its palm-lined beaches. Similarly, the Riviera Maya and Puerto Vallarta are particular favorites for private travel thanks to breath-taking coastal environments, home to some of Mexico’s most sought-after luxury villas, hotels and resorts. When it comes to culinary triumph, visitors can expect to dine on some of the best seafood in the world. Mexico City delivers a surprise around every corner with its breezy café culture, unique one-of-a-kind shopping, and extraordinary museums, including the engrossing National Anthropology Museum. Both the pyramids of Teotihuacá and the ancient Mayan ruins of Palenque are highly recommended for gaining insight into the country’s rich history. Meanwhile, Mexico’s mountain towns such as San Cristobal de Los Casas delight with tranquil, shaded plazas and lively street festivals. The ancient ruins of Tulum with the stunning tropical coastline of the Yucatán Peninsula are a popular starting point for discovering all that Mexico has in store. San Miguel de Allende is a particular favorite for clients with an interest in the imposing Gothic architecture of Mexico’s colonial past. Take in the color pink and orange hues of the city’s monuments on a guided private tour, stroll through the cobblestone streets or relax with a scintillating tequila tasting at a cozy bar. For those who prefer to embrace nature, Coyote Canyon just west of San Miguel is the perfect spot for hiking, archeological tours and horseback riding. Each quadrant offers something truly unique. But whichever region you choose to take your deep-dive, a bespoke Mexico vacation will leave you with plenty of stories to tell when you return home.

Design your trip to Mexico with a local travel designer. Unique activities and lodging, 100% tailor-made and stress-free.

Planning a trip can be a challenge. We are always trying to find the coolest destination, the best accommodations, and the perfect itinerary. From my experience, one of the most challenging things is planning the day-to-day of our vacations. And, of course, we have a hard time making itineraries since they are unfamiliar territories. But at the same time, it’s exciting to discover new places to explore. The key is to find a travel agency that brings your ideas to life.  An agency that takes you to know places and connect with people, discovering the destination through the eyes of its people.

Here I share the best agencies in Mexico to help you plan an ideal trip through our country.

Finally, I don’t know if you have heard the constant complaint among travelers who buy trips through an agency. Many of them argue that a group trip does not allow you to “live” the destination. 

Personally, I think it’s all about perspective and what you expect from your trip. But I promise you something, if you don’t want a typical trip and like to travel independently, without packages or groups, there is no better option than Rutopia.

Travel Insurance for Mexico

Travel Team | Apr 12, 2024

Share Twitter   share

From delicious food to sandy beaches to historic sites, there’s something for every traveler in Mexico. But before you zip up your suitcase, you’ll want to make sure your trip is protected.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at options for Mexico travel insurance, requirements for traveling to Mexico, and offer destination-specific travel tips so you can have a safe and relaxing experience.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Mexico?

Insurance is not a requirement to visit Mexico; however, it is a smart idea to have! Let’s take a closer look at the reasons why you should buy insurance before your trip to Mexico.

Should You Buy Travel Insurance for Mexico?

It’s always a smart decision to buy travel insurance before your trip, especially if you’re traveling to another country like Mexico. It’s impossible to anticipate every potential mishap. The coverage you purchase can protect you — your money, your health, your belongings — when the unexpected happens.

Explain why purchasing travel insurance is recommended, even if the country readers are visiting does not require it for entry.

Mexico Travel Insurance Coverage Options

Seven Corners offers a variety of plans that meet most travelers’ needs. Coverage options can differ depending on the plan you choose, the specific benefits and add-ons you select, and your state or country of residency. Below are some travel insurance benefits found in many of Seven Corners plans to help protect you during your trip to Mexico.

Trip Cancellation

Seven Corners could reimburse you for the prepaid, nonrefundable trip expenses you insured if you have to cancel your trip for a covered reason. Covered reasons can include triggers such as an illness that prevents you from traveling or inclement weather, like a hurricane, that makes it impossible to get to your destination.

For the flexibility to cancel your trip for any reason, not just those listed in your plan document, consider adding optional Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) coverage .

Trip Interruption

An interruption often means you ended your trip and returned home early, but it can also include needing to start your trip late. If you need to interrupt your trip for a covered reason, you could be reimbursed for unused prepaid, nonrefundable trip expenses. This benefit also covers the expense of additional transportation.

For more flexibility to interrupt your trip and still be reimbursed, consider adding optional Interruption for Any Reason (IFAR) coverage . This allows you to interrupt your trip for any reason, not just the covered reasons listed in your plan document. Examples include feeling unsafe at your destination and deciding to return home or move to your next destination early or simply changing your mind about travel so you end your trip early.

This benefit can cover expenses resulting from a delay, whether you’re headed to Mexico or coming home or even if you’re delayed in the middle of your trip. To be reimbursed, the delay must be caused by a covered reason, such as a flight delay lasting the required amount of time.

Lost or Delayed Baggage

Seven Corners will reimburse you to replace necessary personal belongings if your baggage is delayed by your airline or other common carrier on your way to Mexico. Necessary personal items include things like clothing or toiletries so that you can continue on your trip.

If your baggage is lost, delayed, damaged, or stolen during your trip, your travel insurance could pay to replace or repair the insured items

For both lost and delayed baggage, it’s important to remember that some items such as laptops and jewelry may not be covered, and your luggage must be delayed for the length of time stated in the plan before you are eligible for reimbursement.

• Travel Medical

Travel medical insurance can cover expenses for medical treatment if you get sick or hurt during your trip. This is particularly important for travelers whose domestic health insurance does not provide coverage overseas.

Seven Corners Trip Protection plans provide coverage for Emergency Accident and Sickness as well as Emergency Dental expenses. We also provide a variety of travel medical plans with robust medical coverage for both U.S. and international residents.

Emergency Medical Evacuation and Repatriation

If you get sick or hurt during your trip to Mexico and adequate care is not available, Seven Corners will arrange an emergency medical evacuation to a medical facility that can provide treatment if it is deemed medically necessary. We will also arrange your return home so you can continue recovering.

Accidental Death and Dismemberment

This Seven Corners benefit provides coverage for loss of life or limb resulting from an injury caused by an accident during your trip to Mexico.

What Is The Best Travel Insurance for Mexico?

Seven Corners Trip Protection is our most popular plan for U.S. residents traveling to Mexico. With this plan, you’ll find coverage to protect your trip expenses, belongings, and emergency medical expenses.

Seven Corners Travel Medical Insurance provides great levels of confidence for travelers headed to Mexico whether you’re a U.S. or non-U.S. resident. These plans offer robust coverage for medical expenses if you get sick or hurt during your trip, so you can get the care you need without having to worry about how you’ll pay for it.

Plus, there’s no commitment or hassle when you get a quick quote. You can also contact our licensed agents for additional support, making sure you choose the best travel insurance for a Mexico vacation.

How Much Does Travel Insurance to Mexico Cost?

The cost of travel insurance varies depending on the plan you choose as well as a number of other factors. Trip protection plans generally cost 4-10% of your total insurable trip cost. See how to calculate your trip cost and make sure you have the right amount of coverage.

The cost of a travel medical plan is based on:

Travel Requirements for Mexico

When planning any trip, it’s important to consider what travel documents your destination country requires, as well as any public health requirements. Let’s take a closer look at what you’ll need when traveling to Mexico.

Visa Requirements for Mexico

Visas are not required for permanent residents of the United States traveling to Mexico. Visas are also not required for Mexico if you already have a valid visa for the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, or any country that makes up the Schengen Area.

There are many countries whose residents are exempt from needing a visa to travel to Mexico. Check out the full list here .

Documents and Forms

While you may not need a visa to travel to Mexico, there are a number of other documents you’ll want to be sure to add to your carry-on. These documents include:

• A valid passport that has at least six months of validity.
• A completed Multi Migratory Form . Travel tip- this form can be completed at the airport, but you can save time by filling it out and printing it in advance!
• Documentation of why you’re traveling to Mexico. This can include a hotel reservation, a trip itinerary, a letter of admission from an academic institution, or a letter from your employer that you’re traveling for work. View more examples here .

Public Health Requirements

As of November 24, 2023, there are no COVID-19 restrictions in place when traveling to Mexico.

You won’t need to provide a negative COVID test or proof of vaccination to enter the country. However, the Centers for Disease Control recommends getting up to date on COVID-19 vaccines before traveling and wearing a mask in crowded places on your trip.

Travel Information & Safety Tips for Mexico

Curious about the weather at your destination? Want more info on transportation? Check out these travel and safety tips for a deeper dive into what you can expect on your trip to Mexico.

Is Mexico safe to visit?

Major cities and resort areas are generally the safest places to visit. These areas are well-regulated with first responders close by to help in instances of injury.

In some Mexican states, there are high amounts of crime and kidnapping. This Mexico Travel Advisory can tell you if the area you’re considering visiting has an especially high amount of crime.

It’s important to be aware of common scams that target tourists in Mexico so you can avoid them. Card-skimming is prevalent throughout Mexico, so try to pay with cash when possible. When you do withdraw cash, use well-lit ATMs in populated areas. Be careful when getting in a taxi, as there are a growing number of fake taxi drivers. If possible, ask your hotel to book you an authorized taxi. When getting in the car, ensure the driver is licensed and that their face matches the photo on the license.

If you’re a United States citizen traveling to Mexico, you can enroll in the free Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) as an additional safety precaution. Through the program, you’ll get up-to-date information about safety precautions in your destination country. It will also help the U.S. Embassy and your friends and family contact you in case of an emergency.

What languages are spoken in Mexico?

Spanish is the primary language of Mexico, spoken by about 94% of the population.

English is not prominently spoken throughout Mexico. However, in tourist areas such as Cancun, Tulum, Cozumel, and others, many locals have learned to speak English.

What currency is used in Mexico?

The Mexican Peso (MXN) is the currency used in Mexico. As of November 24, 2023, the exchange rate between United States dollars and Mexican pesos is 1 dollar = 17.11 pesos.

For the most current currency rate, check out this currency exchange tool .

Mexico is a vast country, stretching over 750,000 square miles. As such, the weather varies by region. Throughout Mexico, there is a rainy season and a dry season. The rainy season runs from May through November, and the dry season from December through April.

Gulf Coast: Weather in the Gulf Coast is hot and humid, with lots of rain in the summer months. July is the hottest and wettest month of the year. The annual average temperature is 77 degrees.

Southern Mexico: The southern regions of Mexico which include Oaxaca and Chiapas tend to get the most rain. This weather in the valleys and coastal plains can be exceptionally hot, while the weather in cities of higher altitudes is cooler.

Yucatan Peninsula: The Yucatan Peninsula is a popular cruise destination, with its port city of Cancun. Temperatures stay warm and consistent throughout the year with an average of 78 degrees annually.

Food and Water Safety in Mexico

Travel tip: Bring your own refillable water bottle and purchase larger purified water jugs to fill it throughout your trip.

When it comes to produce, it’s best to always disinfect the fruits and vegetables you buy. You can buy produce disinfectant or make your own solution with a mix of white vinegar and purified water.

Transportation

Common ways to get around Mexico include renting a car, ordering a taxi, or taking public transit.

Train travel is currently limited, but is set to take off in Mexico in the coming decades. The country is planning to launch 11 new tourist train routes by 2050, with the first launching in 2023.

Mexico Travel Advisory

Travel advisory august 22, 2023, see state summaries.

Country Summary: Violent crime – such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery – is widespread and common in Mexico. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in many areas of Mexico, as travel by U.S. government employees to certain areas is prohibited or restricted. In many states, local emergency services are limited outside the state capital or major cities.

U.S. citizens are advised to adhere to restrictions on U.S. government employee travel. State-specific restrictions are included in the individual state advisories below. U.S. government employees may not travel between cities after dark, may not hail taxis on the street, and must rely on dispatched vehicles, including app-based services like Uber, and regulated taxi stands. U.S. government employees should avoid traveling alone, especially in remote areas. U.S. government employees may not drive from the U.S.-Mexico border to or from the interior parts of Mexico, except daytime travel within Baja California and between Nogales and Hermosillo on Mexican Federal Highway 15D, and between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey on Highway 85D.

CBP Announces Next Phase in Fight Targeting Criminals Funneling Fentanyl into American Communities

NOGALES , AZ – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) today announced that it will lead an expanded, multi-agency effort to target the transnational criminals funneling fentanyl from Mexico into American communities. Operation Plaza Spike targets the cartels that facilitate the flow of deadly fentanyl, as well as its analogs and precursors and tools to make the drugs. It is designed to disrupt operations in the “plazas,” cartel territories located directly south of the United States that are natural logistical chokepoints within the cartels’ operations. This is the next phase in CBP’s Strategy to Combat Fentanyl and Other Synthetic Drugs , a whole-of-government and international effort to anticipate, identify, mitigate, and disrupt illicit synthetic drug producers, suppliers, and traffickers.

Operation Plaza Spike will employ multiple tactics, including seizing illicit proceeds and scrutinizing related cross-border business entities and cross-border trade. Operation Plaza Spike includes releasing the name of the plazas’ senior ranking cartel officials, the “plaza bosses,” to increase public and law enforcement pressure on them. Plaza bosses control and profit from all illicit activity through the plaza – extortion, kidnapping, as well as the smuggling of humans, dangerous drugs, and firearms. CBP will leverage partnerships, authorities, and resources of other government agencies in our efforts to gather intelligence, disrupt and degrade illicit operations, and deliver legal consequences.

“So long as fentanyl and other illicit opioids wreak tragedy across American communities, the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security will remain unrelenting in their work stopping these deadly drugs from hitting our streets and taking lives,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “Operation Plaza Spike is a critical step in our ongoing whole-of-Department campaign to directly attack the transnational criminal organizations that peddle narcotics, death, and destruction for profit. We are sparing no effort to dismantle cartels and ensure everyone from kingpins to plaza bosses are brought to justice.”

CBP’s first target is the Nogales Plaza, located directly south of the border crossing at Nogales, Arizona. Sergio Valenzuela Valenzuela, aka Gio, the Nogales Plaza boss, was indicted by a federal grand jury in 2018 for his role as a Sinaloa Cartel Plaza Boss .

“We are entering the next phase in our fight against fentanyl: one where we are going after the plaza bosses, whose organizations are responsible for virtually everything that is smuggled into the United States. By targeting them for enforcement action, we can directly impact their operations and ability to traffic fentanyl into the United States, which makes its way into communities all across the country,” said Troy A. Miller, CBP Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Commissioner. “Sergio Valenzuela Valenzuela is the first plaza boss that we target, but he won’t be the last. Just as the men and women of CBP are steadfast in the fight against fentanyl - will be unrelenting in our pursuit of those people and organizations that threaten the safety and security of our people and our country.”

Valenzuela Valenzuela and his organization allegedly are responsible for moving thousands of pounds of fentanyl to the U.S. border. Nearly every day, CBP officers intercept fentanyl headed from Valenzuela Valenzuela’s plaza northbound through CBP ports of entry onward to cities across the United States.

Operation Plaza Spike is just the latest effort by CBP, an agency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as part of this Administration’s efforts to stem the flow illicit opioids, including fentanyl, and cracking down on the Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) that traffic them. Through a whole-of-government effort, the Department has stopped more illicit fentanyl and arrested more individuals for fentanyl-related crimes in the last two fiscal years than in the previous five years combined.

CBP is also in the midst of Operation Apollo, and announced today that it will expand into Arizona to continue gathering and utilizing intelligence, and focusing on state and local partnerships to interdict fentanyl. Operation Apollo was launched by CBP in Southern California in October 2023 as a counter-fentanyl joint operation. CBP has evaluated the successes and lessons learned from Operation Apollo, and Operation Apollo – Arizona is now replicating it within the Arizona corridor, integrating all local law enforcement resources in Arizona to interdict finished fentanyl products, illicit precursor chemicals, adulterants, pill press equipment, illicit proceeds, and weapons.

In addition to CBP’s efforts to target operations that move fentanyl north, as well as guns south, CBP will be leveraging partnerships, authorities, and resources of other government agencies.

In 2023, DEA seized a record 79.5 million fentanyl pills and nearly 12,000 pounds of fentanyl powder. Throughout Arizona the DEA Phoenix Field Division seized more than 42 million fentanyl pills last year.

“Fentanyl is the deadliest drug threat our nation has ever faced. The men and women of DEA are relentlessly focused on saving lives by defeating the two cartels responsible for the majority of fentanyl and methamphetamine poisoning our communities – the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels.” said DEA Administrator Anne Milgram . “DEA proactively investigates cartel members and associates, like Sergio Valenzuela Valenzuela, who allegedly oversee the transportation and distribution of these deadly drugs while interagency partners, like U.S. Customs and Border Protection, interdict shipments at the border before they enter our country. These partnerships ensure those responsible face justice for their crimes.”

As a collaborative partner, HSI will leverage its abilities, ample customs authorities, and investigative capabilities to continue to look at the TCOs supply and distribution chains, while taking dangerous, destructive, and deadly drugs off our streets together with the violence that comes with the illicit activities of these criminal enterprises. HSI Arizona has dedicated groups of special agents assigned to combat drug and human smuggling as well as southbound weapons and bulk cash smuggling.

“HSI stands at the ready to continue dedicating our resources, unique customs authorities and investigative capabilities toward joining our federal partners in not only disrupting the trafficking of lethal drugs into our country but capturing and prosecuting the plaza bosses who profit from poisoning our communities,” said HSI Countering Transnational Organized Crime Assistant Director Ricardo Mayoral . “We will leverage the combined strength of our partnered efforts to relentlessly pursue, disrupt and dismantle one of the most prolific and violent cartels in the world.”

With the launch of its updated Fentanyl Strategy CBP Strategy to Combat Fentanyl and Other Synthetic Drugs Report in fall 2023, CBP has continued to look at innovative ways to stop fentanyl trafficking. The agency continues to utilize its unique authorities and resources as the nation’s border security agency to lead the whole-of-government approach to dismantling the means and methods of the production and distribution of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids, in addition to its historic target of interdicting narcotics at the border of the United States.

CBP officials have previously targeted fentanyl interdictions along the southwest border of the United States during Operation Blue Lotus, Four Horsemen, and Rolling Wave as well as precursors and production materials used to make fentanyl during Operation Artemis . With this latest operation, CBP is utilizing another avenue to disrupt the networks that create and distribute these drugs.

CBP and DEA are also calling on the public to provide any relevant information they may have about Sergio Valenzuela Valenzuela, his movements, his associates, and his operation. Tips can be provided anonymously by calling or texting 619-540-6912 via phone, Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal. Information can also be submitted through Snapchat at narcos_tips or by using the Threema ID: 2VBZFZTY.
