Countries’ tourism industries have reopened and begun to grow after two years since the outbreak of Covid-19.
This is a great opportunity for people from all over the world to travel and see new places. There are a lot of advertisements for the United States, England, and China as the best destinations for tourists.
Mexico, on the other hand, can be a great alternative if you don’t want to spend a lot of money but still want a memorable trip because of its low cost and stunning scenery. Some of Mexico’s most popular tourist destinations include the ones listed below.
The Grand Canyon of Mexico is Copper Canyon
Copper Canyon is a 65,000-square-kilometer wilderness in northwest Mexico’s Sierra Madre Occidental region. Deep canyons form a stunning group in this vast area. Six different rivers draining the western side of Sierra Tarahumara formed these amazing natural structures.
The Rio Fuerte serves as the confluence point for all six rivers, which empty into the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of California. The canyon’s copper-colored walls are thought to be the inspiration for the name. As the annual number of visitors rises, so does the number of options available to tourists hoping to take in the area’s breathtaking natural splendour.
The Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacfico offers rail travel as well as more adventurous options like biking or horseback riding.
The Historic Core of Mexico City
Mexico City, or Ciudad de México, is the country’s capital and the seat of government for many visitors.
Because of its world-class galleries and museums, Mexico City is also a popular tourist destination. This UNESCO World Heritage Site contains more than 1400 colonial buildings from the 16th to the 19th centuries, despite its modest size of 15 square kilometres. The National Palace, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the Templo Mayor are all located here; those who are interested in history will be awestruck by the Aztec relics at the Templo Mayor.
Popocatépetl and Iztacchuatl, two volcanoes in Mexico City, are must-sees for tourists because they are both more than 5,000 metres high and offer stunning views of the Mexican Highlands.
Playa del Carmen and the Island of Cozumel
In real life, the Yucatán Peninsula’s Yucatán Peninsula is a tropical paradise located just 20 kilometres from the east coast of the peninsula. In Mayan, Ah-cuzamil meant “the land of the swallows,” which is how it got its name in English.
Playa San Juan, Playa San Francisco, and Playa Santa Rosa are just a few of the best beaches in Puerto Rico for those who want to soak up the sun all day long. The coral reefs in this area offer a variety of exciting diving opportunities for tourists. It is possible to see a wide variety of marine life while diving here. Playa del Carmen is another must-see destination if you’ve already visited Cozumel Islands.
Travel to Playa del Carmen is convenient due to its geographic location. People can take a ferry from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen for a one-day vacation. Playa del Carmen’s stunning scenery, from its white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and coral reefs to the surrounding rainforests and balnearios, can be seen during this journey.
Guanajuato
Old colonial buildings, winding lanes, and alleys have made Guanajuato a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it an ideal destination for people who want to walk through history. Visiting the city’s main square, the Jardin de la Union, is a wonderful way to spend your time in the city.
It might be worth exploring the city’s underground streets, which were once part of a network of tunnels that once carried a river, but are now used by cars and people who want to get around the city quickly after the city was reconstructed following World War II. Many art galleries and museums can be found in this city. The Museum of Quixote, the Museum of Casa Diego Rivera, and the Regional Museum of Guanajuato Alhóndiga de Granaditas are just a few of the many museums in the area.
Tulum’s Fortress of Ages
Known as the only fortified Mayan structure located on the coast, the Ancient Fortress of Tulum is one of Mexico’s most popular tourist attractions. The government always takes care of the site because of its priceless value. Because of their perch atop 12-meter-high cliffs overlooking the stunning Caribbean Sea, the ruins can be seen for miles around.
It was built in the 13th century and is home to a number of significant archaeological finds including the sculpture and relief-filled Temple of the Fries (Templo de Los Fries) and the Castillo, the largest structure on-site, which is well-known for its cliff-side location. To ensure that all guests can fully appreciate the historical significance of this heritage site, visitors can arrive by bus, and most tours will have an English-speaking tour guide.
Tulum is also a great place to see whale sharks or go scuba diving in a nearby cenote!
Mazatlán
Mazatlán can be considered one of the most underrated cities to visit in Mexico. Explore the city’s long history or the city’s stunning beaches while you’re here. As a result, visitors to Mazatlán can enjoy the best of both worlds while they’re there..
Cathedrals, plazas, and other buildings in this area are all beautifully decorated in bright, almost vibrating colours, a testament to the area’s Spanish colonial past. Restaurants serving authentic Mexican cuisine can be found all over the city. This restaurant offers a taste of Mexican cuisine that you can try and learn about. You can take a walk along the beach early in the morning to take in the sunrise and the sea breeze.
You can also take advantage of the ATV service, which is ideal for thrill-seekers who want to see the city from a new perspective.
