The home of tacos, Aztecs, sombreros, and tequila — not to mention Pancho Villa, Salma Hayek, and Frida Kahlo — Mexico is a country everyone thinks they know. But beyond the stereotypes lies a place of deep history, diverse cultures, and breathtaking landscapes.

The shimmering blue coastline of Baja California, the cactus-strewn deserts of the north, and the Maya villages and palm-fringed beaches of the south make Mexico endlessly fascinating. Climb volcanoes, watch whales, lounge on golden beaches, or tour agave farms, all in one trip. Along the way, richly adorned colonial churches, towering pyramids, and incredible food make every stop unforgettable.

Mexico is a country that never stops surprising. Start exploring with the best places to visit in Mexico.
