TRAVEL TIPS
Accommodation – When it comes to finding a place to stay in Mexico, you’ve got plenty of options! If you’re looking for a more authentic experience, skip the big resorts and check out a boutique hotel or a cozy casa in a local neighborhood. In spots like Tulum or Playa del Carmen, you can find anything from budget-friendly hostels to stunning Airbnbs. For a more laid-back vibe, try eco-lodges or family-run guesthouses in the countryside—perfect for soaking in Mexico’s natural beauty. And if you’re traveling during the busy season, make sure to book ahead to snag the best deals!
Food – When you’re in Mexico, trust me, the food is going to blow your mind! From the street tacos dripping with flavor to authentic mole dishes, every meal feels like an adventure. You’ve got to try the classics like tacos al pastor, tamales, and chilaquiles for breakfast (yes, they eat them for breakfast, and they’re amazing). Don’t forget to hit up a local market for fresh elotes (grilled corn) and tostadas. And if you’re a spice lover, load up on the salsa verde and guacamole—you’ll never want to go back to the store-bought stuff again!
Safety and Health – Mexico is generally safe for travelers, but it’s smart to stay alert—keep your valuables secure and avoid isolated areas at night. Stick to bottled water to avoid stomach issues, and don’t forget sunscreen and mosquito repellent for outdoor adventures. If you need medical help, Mexico has great healthcare facilities, especially in tourist areas, so you’ll be covered if anything comes up!
Transportation – Getting around Mexico is easy and affordable. In cities, use ride-hailing apps like Uber or hop on a local bus for cheap fares. For longer distances, ADO buses are comfy and reliable, while renting a car gives you more freedom in places like the Yucatán. If you want to explore smaller towns, colectivos (shared vans) are a budget-friendly way to travel like a local!
Climate and Weather – Mexico has warm weather year-round, with the dry season (November to April) offering the best conditions for outdoor activities. The rainy season (May to October) brings brief showers, especially in the south, but it’s still a great time to visit with fewer tourists.
Suggested daily budget – In Mexico, budget travelers can expect to spend $30-$50/day, mid-range travelers $60-$120/day, and luxury travelers $150+/day for comfortable accommodations, meals, and activities.
