Mexico Travel Resources
As someone who has traveled to Mexico frequently, I have been lucky enough to spend months resort hopping in Cancun and climbing the to the top of Teotihuacan, fully immersing myself in the country’s amazing culture, rich history, and gorgeous natural beauty.
Every time I visit, I fall more in love with the stunning beaches, bustling cities, and delicious food that Mexico has to offer.
Despite my extensive travel experience in over 30 countries, I have made some rookie mistakes during some trips to Mexico, including falling victim to tourist traps and scams. That’s why I want to write comprehensive Mexico travel guides to help you avoid these pitfalls and get the most out of your trip to Mexico.
Mexico Travel Safety
There is no denying that Mexico has had its fair share of crime and violence, particularly in certain areas such as border towns and cities with high drug trafficking activity. However, it’s important to keep in mind that these incidents typically occur in specific areas and are not representative of the country as a whole.

Best Mexico Destinations
While there are many amazing destinations to choose from in Mexico, Cancun holds a special place in my heart.
Its easy access to the surrounding areas, including Playa del Carmen, Isla Mujeres, and Cozumel, makes it a perfect base for exploring the Yucatan Peninsula.
However, there are also lesser-known areas that are worth exploring for those seeking a more off-the-beaten-path experience.

☀️ Sunscreen in Mexico can cost you 2-4 times more than in the States. Plus, some tour operators won’t let you enter protected water with non reef-safe sunscreen. To save money, protect your skin, and ensure a seamless water-filled adventure, I highly recommend packing SPF 50 reef-friendly sunscreen.
