Discover Mexico
Mexico is a fascinating country steeped in ancient history. Both captivating and flamboyant, Mexico offers scenery of contrasting diversity from its ancient ruins and verdant jungle to the pearlescent beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see. In a country that is the home of tequila and ceviche, the genuine hospitality of the Mexican people will endear you forever.
Rivera Maya
Stretching from Cancun to Tulum, the Rivera Maya offers spectacular beaches and ancient wonders side by side. Highlights include the archaeological sites at Chichen Itza and Tulum, fascinating cultural visits with Tulum being the only known archaeological site of its kind, located right by the sea. Xcaret is an ecological attraction for the whole family to spend the day learning about the area’s ecology and Mayan history combined with relaxing on the beach, floating down subterranean rivers, swimming with the dolphins and wandering around jungle trails.
Cancun
Cancun is in the northeast corner of the Yucatan Peninsula. The development of the famed beach resort town started in the 70s when the Mexican government built a causeway connecting the island to the mainland and is by far the largest tourist destination in Mexico. Culture seekers should head to the various Mayan ruins in the region, such as the ancient settlements of El Meco and El Rey, and Yamil Lu’um, a Mayan temple dating back to the 14th century. The other-worldly Underwater Museum is another must-see, and other exquisite dive sites beckon too.
Los Cabos
Los Cabos is known for its remarkable golden-sand beaches which offer a wide range of outdoor activities both above and below the crystal-clear azure waters that lap against this remarkable 33-kilometre stretch of coastline that runs between the neighbouring towns of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. While Cabo San Lucas is famous for its fun-loving beach scene and wild nightlife, San Jose is known for its more sedate, sophisticated and culturally rich counterpart.
Weather
The temperatures don’t vary greatly between the two destinations however the Riviera Maya is prone to higher levels of humidity during the summer months between June to September. Temperatures in the summer have been recorded as high as 32 degrees in the Riviera Maya and 34 degrees in Los Cabos.
