One of the most popular destinations for our clientele seeking sun and sand on their vacation, but don't forget there's a rich history and plenty of culture to soak up while you're there. Pyramids and cenotes in the jungle, ornate churches in sprawling cities, food, art, and plenty more to explore.
While Cancun is often the first place people think of when they hear "Mexico", we like Tulum for its luxury & wellness alongside other regions of the Riviera Maya for the beaches and relaxation. Check out Akumal for sea turtles! The Pacific coastal regions too have great choices for a couples' getaway or family vacation.
Planning your trip
Mexico is blessed with two coasts, both of which provide excellent options for cruise enthusiasts. On the Gulf Coast, think about active days ashore exploring pyramids from Progreso or Cozumel, or relaxation and lazy days by the beach further along the Riviera Maya.
When you should go
Mexico is popular throughout the year, with the most sought after periods beginning in mid-December and lasting through March. Summer months may also be popular with families as it coincides with school holidays. Hurricane season in the Caribbean runs from April through to November, with the most active periods falling in early September. You shouldn't have any difficulty visiting during these periods, just be sure you have a robust travel insurance policy in place to protect your trip.
What else you might need
Tourists visiting from the US who are arriving via air or as part of a cruise itinerary will require a valid passport with free pages and at least 6 months validity beyond your intended date of departure. You will receive an immigration card as part of your conditions to enter, the duration of validity will be determined at the time of entry by the customs representatives present but cannot exceed 180 days without a full visa application.
