Mexico is a land of extremes, with high mountains and deep canyons in the center of the country, sweeping deserts in the north, and dense rain forests in the south and east. Mountains cover much of Mexico. Between the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range in the east and the Sierra Madre Occidental in the west lie small mountain ranges on the Central Plateau. These regions are rich with valuable metals like silver and copper.
Mexico is the product of a rich Native American heritage, three centuries of Spanish rule, and a shared border with the world’s richest country, the United States. Today, many Mexicans are mestizos, which means they have a mix of Native American and Spanish blood.
Mexico, officially the United Mexican States, is a country in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and to the east by the Gulf of Mexico.
🌍 Spanish is the official language in the country; other languages that are somewhat common are English and German

🌅 Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen started out as a Fisherman’s village, as many as 110 years ago. The white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and laid-back feel have made it a popular destination for tourists. Different travelers like different things about Playa del Carmen.
We’d say it’s popular because it strikes a great balance between local life and tourism. You can come here to sample a true, lived-in Mexican town but also enjoy the Caribbean beaches and the ancient Maya history.

🌅 Cancun
The idyllic slice of paradise is one of the most popular places to take a vacation in the world. Cancún is one of the best cities to visit in Mexico located on the Yucatán Peninsula bordering the Caribbean Sea and is home to gorgeous beaches, a number of hotel resorts, and lively nightlife.
Cancun is known to have the bluest and clearest water of the Riviera Maya. You will find the bluest water in the hotel zone in Cancun, especially along the main stretch of the 15 km long beach and around the Northern tip
What should you not wear in Cancun?
There is no specific Cancun nightlife dress code other than not to wear your beach attire to the club, but that should go without saying anyways. Especially for guys, tank tops and flips flops at a club is a no go. Typically, people in Mexico dress up more when going out to clubs than you may be used to.

🌅 Mazatlan
Known for its beautiful beaches and warm, sunny weather, Mazatlán is a major resort destination as well as an important Pacific port. Mazatlan might be an underrated Mexico destination, but these beautiful beaches say otherwise. “Playa” is Spanish for beach and the city of Mazatlan, on Mexico’s Pacific coast, is packed with fantastic sandy beaches to enjoy. The beaches range from peaceful, shallow water for families to excellent spots for surfing.
Located at the northern end (Cerritos) of the tourist area in Mazatlán, this is a beautiful, long, sandy beach. It is considered one of the best beaches in Mazatlán. For many years, it was a very quite beach, but now is lined with a few condos and the huge Hotel Riu Emerald Bay.
Is it possible to swim in the ocean in Mazatlan?
The ocean at Emerald Bay is as safe as anywhere in Mazatlan & since it is actually in a cove it may be a little safer as far as rip tides & big waves are concerned.
