Activities in Mexico

Touring isn’t just about the views and visiting landmarks and historical places. It’s also about doing activities that is best done here than anywhere else. A couple of things that I suggest you do are below.

Water Taxi Rides in Cabo
These water taxi rides can be so much fun and can take you from the marina down to Medana beach and even to a place called Lover’s Beach, which is on the very tip of the Cabo Peninsula. These water taxi boats have glass bottoms that help passengers see the fish that are swimming underfoot, a wonderful sight for children and adults to see.

Jungle Excursions in Puerto Vallarta
You should try and visit Yelapa, which can be reached by foot, by boat, or by mountain biking. This beach village is home to a jungle, a waterfall, and rivers that give you the jungle lifestyle that is uniquely Puerto Vallarta. Also, part of the Puerto Vallarta jungle experience is the canopy tour that gets you to see the flora and the fauna of the region in what may be your most exciting jungle adventure yet. You will be zipped above the treetops to see these wonders and more.

If you don’t enjoy this, I don’t know what else would please you. These things can be done here and here alone.

La Quebrada

La Quebrada
What would a mexican vacation be without your seeing the famous cliff divers of Acapulco? This is a site to behold as young boys jump from a cliff, which is more than a hundred feet above the water, and into an inlet that is only slightly over 9 feet deep. The cliffs of La Quebrada is one of the greatest tourist attractions in Acapulco, and these divers have been one of the most popular sites here since 1940. The La Quebrada Cliff Divers are a group of professional high divers, based in Acapulco, mexico. They perform daily shows for the public, which involve diving 45 metres (148 ft) from the cliffs of La Quebrada into the sea below. You can view these divers while having a snack or a meal at the famous La Perla restaurant, which is right across from where these young men jump into the Pacific. You can even see divers jump at night with lit torches from this restaurant.

Spring Break Ideas: Tijuana

Tijuana:

From March to April, Tijuana is one of the hotspots in mexico that experiences the flood of college students who travel to Mexico to have fun and to party. Most of the time, if not all, these students are seeking to get boozed up and drunk since the drinking age of U.S. is 21 while in Mexico, its 18.

Spring break and Tijuana is almost synonymous with each other, students will come in full force. If you decide to go to Tijuana for your break, expect to pay two or three times the norm. There are also smaller bars and cantinas you can choose so you wont have to be smothered by the crowd. Also book your hotel rooms and plane tickets early since spring is usually a peak season and the hotels will be fully booked.

Spring Break Ideas: Cancun

With the rising popularity of mexico as a destination during college spring break, Acapulco has been one of the popular destinations. Acapulco boasts white sand beaches. You can also ride glass-bottomed boats to see the abundant sea-life. They also feature a lot of water sports, like para-sailing, deep sea fishing, scuba diving, sailing and snorkeling among many others.

It has also become very affordable since their target tourists are college students seeking a break from school. The price ranges from affordable to the five star hotels in the area.

Lighthouses of Mexico

Lighthouses are crucial in coastal navigation. And with mexico being surrounded by several bodies of water, these lighthouses are very important. Well, of course you might say, especially if you intend to board a Carribbean cruise. Aside from the function it serves, a lighthouse is a lovely spot to snap lots of pictures of your memorable trip in Mexico.
