So Many Great reasons to Visit Mexico

Where shall we go next? Often a question we’ve asked ourselves. After living in Asia, South Africa and Europe, we keep coming back to Mexico. Why?

Mexico is a magical country of friendly people, diverse scenery, stunning architecture, fascinating history, scrumptious food and drink, amazing wildlife and … the list goes on.

There’s more to Mexico than Cancun and Quintano Roo – but there’s nothing wrong with these happy places.

We’ve been visiting Mexico for over 12 years. In that time we have seen and lived in many parts of the country.

More recently, we’ve spent 4 years in Merida in the Yucatan, which has allowed us to explore this fascinating region.

We want to share our experiences with you so you can enjoy the best vacation possible in this lovely country.
