Topics in our Mexico Travel Blog

Are you interested in the history of the Maya? Or are you looking for tips for your next excursion? In the Mexico Travel Blog you will certainly find them. Above all, our posts cover the topics that really matter on the ground.

One focus lies on the Maya sites of the peninsula. We compare Chichén Itzá, Cobá and Tulum. Moreover, we put the current entrance fees into context. We also explain what research knows about these buildings today. In addition, we introduce you to Sian Ka’an and Muyil. Many travellers still do not know this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The second focus of the Mexico Travel Blog is nature. This includes the cenotes and the pink lagoons of Las Coloradas. We also cover the sea turtles of Akumal and the guide requirement. However, practical questions matter too. Therefore we write about the best time to travel and about sargassum on the beaches. We also give an honest answer to how safe Mexico really is.

We also write about topics that sound simple. Many guidebooks still get them wrong. One example is tequila: we explain what producers actually make it from and which varieties exist.

Do come back often. Because we keep expanding the Mexico Travel Blog. New topics on culture, nature and the Yucatán Peninsula follow regularly.
