Mexico
Easily accessible and welcoming, Mexico offers virtually unlimited vacation options for travelers. The country is comprised of 31 states and one Federal District (Distrito Federal, or D.F.), spread out across a vast and diverse territory that ranges from arid desert in the on a cruise to Mexico, you can lie on a sun-kissed beach, indulge in all types of watersports, explore historic ruins, and dine like a cacique (a Mayan chieftain). The vaunted nightlife of Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, and other coastal cities will keep you up all night. And eco adventures abound, from nature parks to wildlife sanctuaries to wine tours in Baja, California.
If you want a more urban getaway, there are few metropolises in the world to compare with Mexico City. Colorful Guadalajara will invite you to hop on a tequila tasting tour, walk the beautiful city center and take in the mural art and colonial architecture, or test your palette on a culinary tour. In Oaxaca, you can tour the ancient city of Monte Alban, visit beautiful churches and cathedrals, and sample mole in street markets. The states of Palenque and Campeche offer plenty of outdoor adventure, with spectacular ruins like Palenque nestled in the jungle.
Mexico - Baja
Sandwiched between the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez, Baja California is a peninsula along the west coast of Mexico that stretches for almost 800 miles across desert and mountain, between sea and ocean. This incredible expanse is divided into two states—Baja Sur and Baja Norte—connected by the Trans peninsular Highway (Highway 1). This route is considered one of the great road trips in the U.S. (and who doesn’t like road trips!) for its spectacular scenery, isolated stretches, and the cattle that sometimes meander along the road with you. Famous for its wine, beaches, marine life, and get-away-from-it-all vibe, Baja sends its siren call to free spirits around the world..
Mexico - Round Trip
The Pacific coast of Mexico has been a tourist playground for decades. The seaside cities of Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, and Manzanillo offer visitors a plethora of beachfront resorts, outstanding watersports, and diverse natural landscapes that range from idyllic beach to lush tropical jungle to the volcanic peaks of the Sierra Madre mountains. Sailing from California, a packaged vacation or round-trip cruise to Mexico will introduce you to the rugged natural beauty of Baja California, the cultural richness of Jalisco, and myriad postcard-perfect beaches. .
