(Akiit.com) Mexico is one of the most recognisable places in the world for its amazing food, vast culture and stunning scenery. It is a great place to visit at any time of the year, but the summer is hands down the best. These are just some of the reasons why you should spend your summer in Mexico.
- Low season
Believe it or not, our summer time is actually the value season for Mexico. This means that from May until October, the prices at many luxury hotels such as Courtyard Queretaro are much lower than in the winter. It’s the perfect excuse for you to book a summer trip with your family to this lovely country.
- Seasides and natural pools
The crushing summer weather can be a too much to bear in hotter countries like this, but the great news is that if you are sensitive to the warmer weather you can still enjoy the summer heat and cool off in the many waters this country has to offer. Apart from the obvious beaches such as the coast of Cancun, there are many other waters to explore and enjoy. You could take a visit to the Mayan ruins and enjoy the natural pools which scatter along the landscape, or even take to the mountains and enjoy the calming waters of the lakes.
- Stay cool
If you want to explore a different type of landscape in Mexico this summer you can take a trip to their highlands and enjoy slightly cooler weather as you explore the stunning towns which reside there. San Cristobal de las Casas is great place to get away from the buzzing atmosphere by the beaches and to take in views of the full landscape.
- Surfing
The Pacific coast is the perfect location to practice your surfing skills during the summer because they have some incredible waves on the shores during the warmer months of the year. You can pack up a picnic, set out early with your friends and enjoy palming around in water throughout the morning.
- Guelaguetza
We couldn’t talk about Mexico without mentioning one of the many festivals they have every single year. The sharing festival is celebrated in the summertime in the city of Oaxaca and involves dancing, parades, lots of amazing food and a buzzing atmosphere.
- Great food
Mexican food is one of the most beloved cuisines in the entire world. Most of us have tasted one or two burritos in our time, and we make nachos every time we have a big game on the TV or friend’s round for dinner. Mexican food is diverse, fun, spicy and perfect for sharing which makes it so popular with people everywhere. When you visit this amazing country you will get to taste authentic Mexican dishes which will be so much more flavourful than you have ever had before. There are many dishes that you won’t have even tried yet, and for the fussy eaters out there, there are always some more plain options to keep them happy.
