With this article I will give you 6 good reasons why go to Mexico is a good idea for your next holidays. Because yes ! Mexico is, in my opinion, a destination that you should visit at least once in your life. Far from the stereotypical images of mariachis wearing a big sombrero, Mexico is a country of contrasts and diversity. From the desert to the lush rainforests, the country is dotted with archaeological sites of great value. Under the ever-present sun, the gastronomy is varied and perfectly matches the activities offered by the fauna and flora.
Mexico, and in particular the Yucatan region, is sunny all year round, so whatever the season, you can travel to Mexico without worry. Although there is a rainy season from July to October, this is not a constraint to visiting the Yucatan.
1- A good climate all year round

2- Archaeological sites, including one of the 7 wonders of the world
Mexico is a country with a thousand facets capable of satisfying all types of travelers, from those who love natural landscapes to those who are passionate about history!
One of the main attractions of Mexico is its culture, so if you are looking to visit a pyramid in Mexico, there is no shortage of that! This country is full of archaeological sites, each one more beautiful than the next. The Yucatan allows you to visit several of them without travelling long distances. It is in the Yucatan Peninsula, in the vicinity of Valladolid, that you will be able to visit one of the 7 wonders of the world: Chichen Itza, which you should not miss during your trip to Mexico.
3- Breathtaking natural landscapes
Everywhere in Mexico you will have the opportunity to see beautiful landscapes, in the north with large desert areas and canyons, in the centre with volcanoes, and in the south with nature reserves, lagoons or waterfalls in which you can swim.
The diversity of landscapes in Mexico is absolutely impressive...
4- Beautiful colonial towns
Because of its colonial past and the Spanish conquest, Mexico can sometimes remind you of Spanish alleys or monuments. The most famous colonial cities are north of the capital Mexico City with San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato where the festivities of the Festival of the Dead are authentic and colourful! In the Yucatan, the main colonial cities are Valladolid, Merida, Campeche and of course Izamal, one of the 100 "pueblos magicos" (magic villages) of Mexico.
5- The gastronomy
Mexico will not leave you without rest on this subject, since the Mexican gastronomy is reputed to be one of the best in the world and is even entered in the World Heritage of the UNESCO. From the famous tacos to the magnificent lobsters accompanied by a good guacamole to be tasted on a small beach, passing by the burritos and fajitas, Mexico will fill the palates of any lover of good food.
6- Mexico, a trip for small budgets!
Sure airfare is the biggest expense of the trip, the rest is pretty affordable. Outside the Riviera Maya, you can find hotels at lower prices: around 20€ per night. In some parts of Mexico, it is almost as expensive to cook for yourself as it is to go to a local taqueria (a taco restaurant), just imagine!
