Overview:
If you’re looking for a place that introduced chocolate, chilies and corn to the world, than you’re going to want to venture off to Mexico for a week or two. The country of Mexico is boasting at the seams with pristine beaches, partying all night long and history like no other. Wherever you choose to enjoy your week away, you’ll embark on an adventure or two, take in the unique architectural history of the country or take to the pillow white beaches and take in the beauty of the seashore. One of the lovely things about Mexico is the vibrant colours that can be found throughout the country. If you peruse the boardwalk at night or watch the sunset along the shore, you’ll see vibrant hues of the tropical sun beaming on down you. The best time to visit Mexico is during the months of December to April as hurricane season is from June to October. During June to August temperatures rise to that hot humid tropical weather with a mix of rain and sun cascading down on you. If you’re one to cave into misconceptions of a place, don’t think that Mexico is all about siestas and sombreros, the country traditionally has a siesta from 2-4pm, but any other time of the day you can walk along the Mexicans as you venture off to explore their unique country.

We fell in love with Mexico right when the shuttle service brought us up to the multitude of mega-resorts in Cancun. Mexico prides itself in creating an all-around perfect all-inclusive vacation, and while in Cancun, the service was impeccable, the beaches are pristine and the landscape can’t get any better than this.
