Mexico Holidays

While Mexico is a large country, the thirteenth largest in the world, holidays here are predominantly centered round its coastal areas. It is a nation of huge contrasts both geographically and economically. With four large mountain ranges, much of central and northern Mexico lies at high altitudes. Major cities, including the capital, Mexico City, are found in the valleys between them. At two thousand miles in length, Mexico has both a temperate and a tropical climate. North of the Tropic of Cancer, it is cooler during the winter months, while to the south of it, there is little difference in temperature throughout the year. Whether you choose the Atlantic or the Pacific coast, you'll find luxurious resorts with tropical beaches and comprehensive recreational facilites. The most famous in the west is Acapulco and in the east, Cancun on the Yucatan peninsula. Mexico is one of the most visited countries in the world. Apart from its beaches and its climate, its exciting cities, its jungles and national parks, one of Mexico's main attractions are the ruins from ancient cultures. Mexico holidays have wide appeal as they possess elements to suit every age group from families with young children to mature couples. Whatever you want, be it cultural tours, shopping extravaganzas, water sports or simply sunbathing on sun-bleached sands by crystal seas, Mexico holidays will satisfy.  The superb championship courses attract golfers especially those who wish to avoid the cold, damp days of a British winter. Peak season is from October to May, as June to September is the rainy season when humidity can be uncomfortably high.

As well as having some of the best beaches in the world, Mexico holidays are bursting with culture and history. This exotic destination promises a holiday of a lifetime which can be as relaxed or as active as you wish. Relax on pristine beaches beneath swaying palms, where the sands are bleached white by the tropical sun, and turquoise seas gently lap your ankles or participate in a wide variety of sporting activities on land and sea. You can also combine your beach holiday with cultural visits to the ruins of ancient civilisations or visits to historic towns from colonial days. The Yucatan peninsula is the most popular area for British tourists. Accommodation and service are first class, restaurants cater for all tastes and there is nightlife to suit all moods. Mexico cuisine has evolved over the centuries as European influences were combined with indigenous elements. Corn and beans are the staples of Mexican food with the corn often ground into meal for tamales and tortillas. Food is very aromatic with herbs and spices creating a fusion of delicious tastes. Fruits and vegetables are in plentiful supply. Mexico nightlife can satisfy all moods and tastes from relaxed to party.  There are lively bars, discos and nightclubs for those who wish to drink and dance through the night. Equally, there are many relaxed venues where you can enjoy a meal and a drink in the company of family and friends. The all-inclusive resorts provide their own evening entertainment with live music and dance. With shopping malls, department stores, boutiques, specialist shops and market stalls, you'll have plenty of opportunities for spending your pesos. Popular purchases include textiles, jewellery, carved wooden items, pottery and other hand crafted goods.

Mexico holidays offer an experience like no other. They take you to a destination where the scenery is spectacular, the towns are exciting, where recreational activities are wide ranging, and where every effort is made to make your stay memorable. To many they mean picture postcard beaches; to others, exciting water sports, coral reefs and swimming with dolphins; yet others imagine treks into the jungle, white water rafting or explorations of ancient Mayan civilisations. Mexico holidays can be all of these things and much more.
