Activity Holidays in Mexico

Overview

Steaming jungles hiding jaw-dropping temple complexes, golden sand beaches dotted with smokey seafood shacks, peeling colonial grandeur rubbing shoulders with vibrant nightlife, wild fiestas and cutting edge culture – for a country that boasts such aesthetic beauty, it speaks volumes that its main attraction lies in its people and its culture. Oh, that and the food.

Whilst Mexico has no end of natural beauty, whether it’s the endless stretches of palm-fringed sand on the Pacific coast, the lush jungles of the Yucatan, the snow-capped volcano of Popocatepetl, or the eerie northern desert dotted with cacti, if you really want to get the best out of Mexico, you need to dig beneath the surface and discover the endlessly rich and varied tapestry of its people.

The incredible story of Mexico’s people is reflected in the architecture of the land. Huge Mayan, Mesoamerican and Aztec ruins dot the landscape at sites like Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza, and beautiful Spanish Colonial townhouses and city halls line the cobbled streets of Oaxaca and the sprawling expanse of Mexico City.

Each of these tell stories of brutality and resistance, and with a history as complex as Mexico’s, it doesn’t take long for the thread you’re following into the past to become impossibly tangled with other stories, myths and legends. Out of this come the Mexicans, one of the most fiery and passionate, yet also warm and hospitable populations you’re likely to ever have the pleasure to come across.

Throw yourself into the whirlwind, go to the madness of the fiestas and the parties, head to the local neighbourhoods and sit in a little eatery to try incredible guacamole, ceviche and other food of the most mind-popping flavour and spice. Whilst your head and stomach may not thank you for it later, the hazy memories you collect in Mexico will be some of the most treasured you ever hold.

    Best Time to Visit Mexico

    General
    See more photos

    The turn of the year and the early months bring the coldest and driest weather, a good time to visit Mexico if you aren’t a fan of the heat. As the year rolls into May and onwards to August, temperatures soar virtually everywhere, and it becomes wetter on the Pacific coast.

    September brings hurricane season, which doesn’t necessarily mean hurricanes, but it probably does mean a bit more rain. For the Day of the Dead, you’ll want to be in Mexico on November 2nd.

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    We protect the environments we visit.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

    We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

    • Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.
