While most people visit Mexico for its big tourist centers like Tulum<\/a>, Cabo, Cancun<\/a>, or Cozumel, there’s a lot more to the country than just its luxurious resorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was late to exploring Mexico but, when I did, I fell in love with it. Mexico is an incredible destination with a rich history, amazing food, and friendly people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s an awesome country to backpack around, drive through, or just vacation in. There\u2019s a ton of stuff to do here, and the locals are some of the friendliest people on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Mayan ruins to pristine beaches to Mexico City’s<\/a> art and food and Oaxaca’s<\/a> mezcal scene, Mexico has it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the food? World-class. Gorge yourself on delicious tacos, tostadas, tamales, sopas, seafood, and mole (to name a few items from Mexico\u2019s very long list of traditional dishes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could go on forever as to why I love this country. Whatever amount of time you\u2019re planning to visit is not enough \u2014 you\u2019ll always leave wanting more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Mexico travel guide will help you get out of the touristy towns, see the local culture, save money, and fall in love with what you discover!<\/p>\n\n\n
