Frequently asked questions: Mexico
What are the best places to visit in Mexico?
The Yucatan with Cancun, Tulum and Chichen Itza, Mexico City, Oaxaca and its food, and Chiapas with its Mayan sites in the jungle. Cenotes are a highlight of the Yucatan.
When is the best time to visit Mexico?

How do you visit Chichen Itza?
Most travelers visit on a day trip from Cancun or the Riviera Maya. Some tours add a swim in a cenote and a stop in Valladolid.
What can you do in Mexico with kids?
Calm beaches, cenotes, water parks and Mayan sites appeal to children. The Yucatan Peninsula works well for a first family trip.
