Travel to Mexico
A more responsible tailor-made journey directly with the best local agencies
Bordered by two oceans and the Caribbean Sea, Mexico is reputed for its heavenly beaches. But that’s not all: more than half of the territory is situated above 5,000 feet in altitude and offers mountain landscapes to die for. To travel to Mexico is also to discover its northern deserts, covered in cacti, or a south-east lush with tropical forests. Mexico City, the country`s capital, is one of the highest capitals in the world situated at more than 6,500 feet as well as one of the largest metropolises on Earth! So many experiences await you in this country: going for walks in tiny fishing ports bordering the ocean, or deep sea diving in some of the most beautiful reefs in the world. However, it isn’t only for the flora that you will be travelling to Mexico, but also for its unique culture. The country is steeped in archaeological ruins, such as the famous Chichen Itzà. The pre-Colombian era saw extraordinary civilizations flourish; and many locations in Mexico still hold remnants of the time period still exist all around … The Spanish settlers also left a sumptuous heritage: their baroque architecture has been well preserved in several towns… For all of these reasons, as well as its gastronomy, music and lovely climate all year around. Clearly, Mexico can't be beat!

Is Mexico safe?
While some areas of Mexico are known for issues with violence, it is a huge country and most areas are perfectly safe. Many of Mexico’s security issues arise near the border and have rarely impacted tourists. The most heavily touristed areas, like the Yucatan peninsula, actually have exceptionally low crime rates that rival rural areas in the United States. If you have any concerns about safety, feel free to ask your local agent. They’re here to make the trip of your dreams, and can help you pick only the places where you will feel the most comfortable and have the most peace of mind while exploring such an exciting new place.

When to go in Mexico?
The best time to visit Mexico is during the dry season, from November to April. Between June and October the rains are frequent, short-lived and won't stop you from enjoying most regions. May is dry but really hot - not the best time of year to visit. You'll find that the climate varies according to altitude. Winters are cold and days short in mountainous regions, whilst the southern lowlands are hot all year round. Overall, if you're planning a trip to this Mayan homeland, choose the dry, pleasantly warm periods.

Frequently asked questions for a trip in Mexico

Mexiko verfügt über zahlreiche Sehenswürdigkeiten, sodass die Wahl schwerfällt. Ganz vorne steht Chichén Itzá, ein Muss auf jeder Mexiko-Reise, das zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehört und zu den sieben neuen Weltwundern zählt.
Dem Charme von Bacalar, der Lagune mit sieben Blautönen, kann man kaum wiederstehen. Ein echtes Paradies, das von Menschenmassen noch verschont geblieben ist. Und was ist mit den Wasserfällen von Agua Azul, deren Name allein schon märchenhafte Bilder weckt? Sie müssen Mexiko Ferien selbst erleben und sich Ihre eigene Meinung bilden.
Der Mexikanische Peso (MXN) ist das offizielle Zahlungsmittel in Mexiko. In Restaurants und Hotels der Riviera Maya akzeptieren viele Anbieter auch Kreditkarten. Für kleine Einkäufe und in ländlichen Gebieten sollten Reisende stets Bargeld dabei haben.
Das Währungssymbol $ kann zu Verwechslungen führen, da es auch für den US-Dollar steht. Auf Preisschildern steht zur Unterscheidung manchmal „MXN“ oder „M.N.“ (moneda nacional). Wechselstuben bieten meist bessere Kurse als Banken oder Hotels.
Die Riviera Maya rund um Cancun ist perfekt für Familien mit kinderfreundlichen Resorts, flach abfallenden Stränden und weissen Sandstränden. Besonders die geschützten Buchten von Playa del Carmen eignen sich ideal für sicheres Plantschen im kristallklaren Wasser.
Familien können beim Schnorcheln in den Cenoten oder bei Walbeobachtungen die Natur erkunden. Die Maya-Ruinen von Tulum direkt am karibischen Meer sind ein Highlight für kleine Entdecker:innen und lassen sich bestens mit einem Badestop verbinden.
Die mexikanische Küche wird in vielen Restaurants mit speziellen Kindermenüs auch den kleinsten Gästen gerecht.
Die optimale Reiseperiode für die Yucatán-Halbinsel liegt zwischen November und April. In dieser Trockenzeit herrschen angenehme Temperaturen um 25 bis 30 Grad bei geringer Luftfeuchtigkeit.
Von Juli bis Oktober prägt die Hurrikansaison das Wetter auf Yucatán. Diese Monate bringen häufige Regenschauer und eine drückende Luftfeuchtigkeit mit sich. Die Nebensaison von Mai bis Juni bietet dafür günstigere Preise bei meist noch gutem Wetter.
