Visit Mexico

Visit Mexico

Why Not Visit Mexico? It Offers a Little Bit of Everything!

Many countries are still restricting travelers from the United States due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, Mexico has no restrictions for travelers visiting from the United States. With airfare and resorts offering great deals, the time is right to book a much-needed vacation! When travelers think of Mexico, they automatically think of the fantastic beaches in Cabo and the nightlife in Cancun. Mexico has so much more to offer than beaches and nightlife.

As reported by TravelPulse, Mexico isn’t just for popular Spring Break getaways. It's a country rich in culture, cuisine, history, and immense natural beauty. Visitors can marvel at a 1,300-year-old Mayan pyramid within the ruin-strewn ancient city of Chichen Itza. Visit the Casa Azul museum and surround yourself with the vivid paintings of famed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Kayak by a colony of sea lions in the Sea of Cortez on the Western coast. For a country covered with rugged mountains and desert plains, tropical rainforests, and packed metropolitan cities, there is hardly a lack of variety when it comes to adventures. Each of the country’s six regions has unique physical and cultural characteristics that distinguish it from the rest.

One destination in Mexico that has been overlooked by tourists in Mexico City. The largest city in North America, this sprawling metropolis is larger and more populated than New York and Toronto. A recent news article by Travel+Leisure indicated that Mexico City will celebrate 500 years of history in 2021. Mexico City is teeming with history, but stylish hot spots breathe new life into the 16 boroughs. Any given day could be spent on a wooden boat drifting down an ancient canal and listening to live mariachi bands, followed by a nightcap at a rooftop lounge overlooking the city. Whether it’s climbing an ancient pyramid or dining at one of the world’s best restaurants, there is something for everyone in Mexico City.

Now that you know some tidbits about Mexico, go ahead and book your trip. Just remember, if you are traveling and need travel insurance, Trawick International has policies to cover trip cancellation, trip interruption, travel medical, medical evacuation, repatriation, travel baggage, and more. Contact us today to get a travel insurance quote.
