Mexico<\/strong><\/a> is the perfect destination for exotic holidays or a getaway in a tropical climate. Apart from beautiful beaches, this North American country also attracts tourists with Aztec and Mayan monuments, picturesque colonial architecture with baroque churches, dance, music, delicious cuisine, and many natural wonders hidden somewhere between mountain ranges or rainforests. It was also one of the destinations open during the pandemic for a long time, which has made it extremely crowded in the last year. I don’t think this trend will change any time soon as more and more people are considering choosing Mexico for an exotic journey. It is a very developed country when it comes to tourism, with a great base, and the Yucatan, contrary to the legend, is a safe place for travelers. I have a huge fondness for Mexico, I’ve traveled across this country on a motorcycle, and I believe that it belongs to one of the most interesting destinations. It is diverse, fascinating, delights with nature (the color of the water as in the highly overrated Maldives), has a fascinating history and architecture, and the food is fantastic. Mexico is a must-visit!<\/p>

Mexico – basic information<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mexico is a country located in the southern part of North America, in a region known as Central America or Mesoamerica. In terms of culture, it belongs to Latin America. Mexico is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico to the east. The country is characterized by a varied topography and a warm tropical and sub-equatorial climate, which is influenced by the topography. The location at the junction of tectonic plates makes Mexico a country rich in volcanoes, and it is not uncommon to experience earthquakes here.<\/p>\n

There were several pre-Columbian civilizations in what is now Mexico, including the Olmecs, Zapotecs, Mayans, Toltecs, and Aztecs. The latter constituted a mighty empire with its capital at Tenochtitl\u00e1n – the place of what is not Mexico City. The Aztec Empire existed from the mid-13th century to 1521, and at its peak, it covered much of Central America. The Spanish conquistadors conquered the Aztec Empire under the leadership of Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s in 1518\u20131521. After the Spanish conquest, a Spanish viceroyalty was established in modern Mexico. The history of independent Mexico dates back to August 24, 1821. Then, after over 10 years of the war for independence, the Creole troops led by Agust\u00edn de Iturbide defeated the Spanish army, and the ruler Juan Ruiz de Apodaca abdicated.<\/p>\n

The capital and largest city of the country is Mexico City (Ciudad de Mexico), located in the central part. Other important urban agglomerations are Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Toluca, Tijuana, Le\u00f3n, Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez, Torre\u00f3n and Quer\u00e9taro. The geographical regions and tourist regions of Mexico are the California Peninsula, the Californian Coastal Plain, the Western Sierra Madre, the Mexican Highlands, the Eastern Sierra Madre, the Volcanic Cordillera, the Southern Sierra Madre, the mountain ranges at the southern tip of Mexico, the Gulf Coastal Plain and the Yucatan.<\/p>\n

Mexico’s natural attractions include the coastal coasts with famous resorts such as Acapulco to the west and Canc\u00fan to the east, tropical forests, subtropics, mountain ranges, and caves with cenotes. Among the cultural values of Mexico, the remnants of the Maya, Aztec and Olmec civilizations in the form of well-preserved ruins, breathtaking colonial architecture of cities, towns (pueblos), and villages with beautiful baroque churches and colorful houses and tenement houses are worth noting. The cultural landscape of Mexico is also influenced by music – the famous Mariachi orchestras, or full of local specialties, including spicy varieties of peppers – Mexican cuisine.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When is the best time to visit Mexico?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mexico has a very diverse climate. This is due to, among other things, a large area, diverse terrain in various parts of Mexico, as well as the influence of sea currents. Therefore, the weather can be completely different in different parts of the country at the same time..<\/p>\n

Northern and central Mexico is a tropical climate. So we are dealing here with hot summers and cold winters. The best weather conditions for exploring the northern part of Mexico are in the spring – from March to June – when the air temperature is over 20\u00b0C, and rainfall occurs sporadically. If you love heat above all else, you can visit this part of Mexico in summer – from June to September – the air temperature often, even daily for several weeks, can even exceed 40\u00b0C. This part of Mexico should rather be avoided in late autumn and winter – from November to March – during this time, the air temperature can fall below 0\u00b0C, especially in mountainous areas.<\/p>\n

Southern Mexico, in turn, is an equatorial climate. In this area, the temperature difference between the warmest and the coldest month of the year usually does not exceed 5\u00b0C. However, much more rainfall occurs here, especially during the rainy season. The best time to visit the southern part of Mexico is winter – from December to March when the air temperature remains at around 30\u00b0C, and the rainfall is not as intense as it is during the rainy season. However, during Christmas and New Year’s Eve in this part of the country, seaside resorts are crowded with tourists from all over the world. This part of Mexico is not friendly during the rainy season – from May to October – when the temperature exceeds 30\u00b0C, but heavy rains may persist for several days in a row.<\/p>\n

The best time to go to Mexico if you want to visit as many places in different parts of the country as possible is March.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What is the best way to get to Mexico<\/strong><\/h2>

The best way to get to Mexico from Europe is flying to Mexico City and Canc\u00fan, from European countries such as:<\/p>

  • Spain<\/strong> \u2013 flights mainly from Madrid and Barcelona, but you can also find attractive offers from other major Spanish cities, including Malaga, Seville, or Valencia, with a transfer in Madrid or Barcelona. Flights between Spanish airports and Mexico are operated by Iberia and Vueling airlines,<\/strong><\/li>
  • Portugal <\/strong>\u2013 flights from two of Portugal’s largest airports – Lisbon and Porto. The flights are operated by the national Portuguese airlines TAP Portugal,<\/li>
  • Germany<\/strong> \u2013 one of the largest airlines in Europe and in the world – Lufthansa – offers flights to Mexico from one of the largest airports in Europe – Frankfurt am Main, it is also worth checking flights to Munich and Berlin,<\/li>
  • Netherlands<\/strong> \u2013 flights from Amsterdam, operated by the national Dutch airlines – KLM,<\/li>
  • Switzerland <\/strong>\u2013 from the country’s largest airport – Zurich – operated by Air Swiss. <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>

    The Mexico City airports with the most flights from and to Europe are Mexico City Benita Ju\u00e1rez Airport and Canc\u00fan Airport. In addition to European airlines, flights between the Old Continent and Mexico are also operated by Aireuropa and Aeromexico, and in the case of Canc\u00fan, you can also find charter flights.<\/p>

    When planning a flight to Mexico, take into account transfers in other countries. If the flight involves a transfer in the United States, you must have a visa (yes, it is required even for transit in the States)<\/span><\/p>

    From most places in North America, flying is the most convenient way to travel to Mexico. Aerom\u00e9xico flies direct to dozens of destinations in Mexico, and can make connections to many others. The bigger US airlines \u2013 especially American Airlines, Delta , United and US Airways \u2013 have connections to Mexico City and the more popular resorts from all over the US. Budget Mexican airlines, such as Viva Aerobus, Volaris and Interjet, also run flights into Mexico from a handful of American cities. For the lowest-priced round trip to Mexico City or Canc\u00fan in high season, expect to pay around US$420\u2013450 out of Dallas, US$450\u2013500 from Miami, US$400\u2013500 from Houston, US$550\u2013650 from New York or US$400\u2013500 from LA.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    What are entry and visa requirements for Mexico<\/strong><\/h2>

    EU citizens going to Mexico as a tourist do not need a visa. A passport valid for at least six months is enough. You can stay in Mexico for up to 180 days based on a passport. Officers of the migration office, when entering the country – crossing the border (both in the case of a land border, as well as at an airport or in a seaport), stamp the entry stamp. Similarly, when leaving the country – they stamp the exit stamp.<\/p>

    However, in addition to a valid passport, when crossing the Mexican border, you will be asked to show another document – a migration form. If you come to Mexico by plane, this form will be provided to you on board. The migration officer will stamp the form. However, if you come to Mexico by land, you will receive the form at one of the border crossings. The immigration officer retains the stamped original of the form, and you will receive a copy of the form to be presented when you leave Mexico. You may be fined approximately 100 USD for losing a document. If you come to Mexico by land, you will also be required to pay 25 USD of tourist tax. However, if you enter the country through one of the seaports, you have to pay a fee of 5 USD. If you come to Mexico by plane, the tourist tax is included in the flight ticket price<\/p>

    U.S. citizens must present a valid U.S. passport book or card, in addition to an entry permit (Forma Migratoria Multiple or FMM) issued by Instituto Nacional de Migraci\u00f3n (INM). Travelers should be sure to enter Mexico with valid proof of automobile registration, even if remaining in the border zone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Mexico during the Pandemic<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Since the first cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus, Mexico’s borders remained open throughout the pandemic. There is no quarantine obligation upon arrival in Mexico, and no testing is required from visitors. On the other hand, border controls have increased – you must have documents confirming the purpose of the trip with information on the length of stay, accommodation, return flight, and financial resources allowing you to stay in the country. Before entering Mexico, complete the form: Questionnaire of Identification of Risk Factors in Travelers. After completing it, you will receive a QR code – it must be presented after landing at the airport in Mexico in an electronic or paper version. Each visitor is required to have his own QR code.<\/p>\n

    When traveling by plane and during your stay at the airport, you should cover your mouth and nose, and if possible, keep a distance between other people. Wearing masks in public in Mexico is not required, but many people do so. Most stores and service establishments operate with preventive measures, including mandatory disinfection of hands and shoes, temperature measurements are made, and the number of customers is often limited. Some tourist attractions may be closed depending on the region. The rules for the use of beaches are not unified. Regional restrictions may differ from one another.<\/p>\n

    The above information is correct as of July 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Mexico – required vaccinations<\/strong><\/h2>

    In Mexico there is a risk of getting tropical diseases, but vaccination is not required.<\/strong> Recommended vaccinations (in most tropical countries in the world) are:<\/p>

    • vaccination against diphtheria and tetanus (DT)<\/strong> – diseases transmitted by airborne droplets; tetanus can be caught even through contact with contaminated soil.<\/li>
    • vaccination against hepatitis A and typhoid fever<\/strong> – you can catch these diseases, for example, by eating contaminated water or food,<\/li>
    • vaccination against hepatitis B<\/strong> – vaccination against hepatitis B is to protect against infection in the case of casual sexual contacts, injections, but also in the event of contact with infected blood.<\/li><\/ul>

      Before traveling to Mexico, it is also worth getting a rabies vaccine. This vaccine is also not required, but a travel medicine doctor may recommend it if there is a risk that the traveler may be bitten by local animals such as dogs, cats, or foxes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Montezuma’s revenge – a matter of hygiene in Mexico and the basic rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Taking care of hygiene and appropriate prophylaxis is the most critical element of taking care of health. One of the most common health problems for people visiting tropical regions is diarrhea – often referred to as “Moctezuma’s revenge.” This disease is associated with an infection of the gastrointestinal tract, which can occur as a result of eating microbiologically contaminated food or drink. The bacteria of the species Escherichia coli (coliform bacteria) are responsible for most of the cases.<\/p>\n

      To avoid getting sick, avoid eating raw food served at room temperature, fresh fruit and vegetables, juices sold on the streets, and drinks served with ice cubes from unknown sources. It is recommended to drink only bottled water. It’s a good idea to pack probiotics in your travel kit. They alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort and help rebuild the intestinal microflora. It is worth reaching for them a few days before departure – thanks to this, we will reduce the risk of travelers getting diarrhea. Also, ask your travel medicine doctor for an emergency antibiotic for any food poisoning. This is the absolute basis for a first aid kit.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Mexico \u2013 staying safe<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Mexico, unfortunately, is famous for its organized crime, but also a petty crime. Many people are afraid of traveling to this country, but staying in Mexico for a few weeks, I never felt threatened. However, the key is to follow a few safety rules. First of all, always ask local people where they think it is dangerous and which neighborhoods you should avoid. Do not walk around dark side streets after dark, and if you want to visit a bar, pub, or club at night, make sure to take an authorized taxi back to the hotel. Also, do not carry large amounts of money, expensive jewelry, or a camera on your neck. Leave them at the hotel, preferably deposited in a safe. When sightseeing or traveling by public transport, always keep an eye on your backpack.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Transportation in Mexico<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Mexico is a very large country; therefore, the distances between the country’s main tourist regions are quite significant.
