When people think of the ideal holiday or at least the visual representation of such that would appear on a postcard they usually envision warm to scorching climates with a gorgeous tropical sky and pure white sandy beaches adorned with iconic palm trees. If this sounds like your idea of holiday bliss than a holiday in Mexico could be just what you are after.

And millions of individuals agree Mexico is the tenth most popular country with tourists with a colossal 21 million international visitors travelling there annually!

The Tropic of Cancer sections the country into two halves regardingweather conditions; the northern region has a temperate climate (so is cooler at certain times of the year) and the weather of the southern region is almost constantly tropical. Sunscreen is a must have!

A lot of Mexico’s food is heavily influenced by the flavors one would experiences on holidays to the Caribbean, particular in the South-Eastern region which neighbors the Caribbean (albeit it, with a large expanse of water – the Gulf of Mexico located in between). Chocolate addicts will feel spoilt too as the chocolate treat originated from Aztec cuisine and Mexican chocolate has a very distinct and flavorsome character.

If you decide to take your Mexico holidays at particular times of the year, you will experience the brightly coloured and flamboyant ways in which Mexicans celebrate events. Halloween involves the natives taken picnics atop the graves of deceased loves ones and handing out skulls crafted from sugar to the children. Dia de Los Muertosis a celebration of the loved ones taken away by the Grim Reaper.Valentines sees the mass giving of small gifts such as balloons, candy and flowers between romantic partners and friends alike.
