FAVORITE PLACES

TULUM AND THE MAYAN RIVIERA

Crystal-clear water, endless white beaches and Caribbean flair await you on the Riviera Maya. The coast stretches over 150 km - from the popular vacation resort of Cancún via Playa del Carmen to Tulum. The Riviera is the center of international tourism in Mexico and is correspondingly well developed. Many luxury hotels and leisure parks are located here. You can party to the music of international DJ stars at the many beach parties and there is a huge range of leisure activities on offer. No wonder this unique region attracts so many people. One of the world's best diving spots is located off the coast of the Riviera, and the island of Cozumel is particularly famous for this. Snorkeling is also possible all along the coast. If you are in the region during the summer months, you have the opportunity to snorkel with whale sharks, a unique and fascinating experience that you will never forget. To the south is the Sian Ka'an National Park, which is known for its variety of birdlife. You can go on wonderful boat tours through the mangrove forests and enjoy the impressive nature.

Another highlight of the region are the cenotes, natural pools filled with fresh water that invite you to dive, snorkel and swim. There are countless of these magical places on the Riviera.

Tulum is our favorite place on the Riviera, which is why we have many fantastic hostels in our program where you can work. If you long for endless white beaches, crazy beach parties and a hip vibe, you'll find your happiness in Tulum. You'll rarely find such a laid-back vibe anywhere else. The city is full of backpackers from all over the world and has a lively bar and restaurant scene. This is precisely why it is teeming with cool hostels and hotels that are just waiting for you. Perfect for an unforgettable work and travel adventure.

However, if it gets too much for you, you are not far from various islands in the Caribbean Sea where you can completely switch off. The poor internet connection on Isla Holbox has no small influence on this, leaving more time for long walks on the beach or one of the numerous hostel parties on the island. We love Holbox and have therefore added the Animal Shelter to our programs. Even if you're only there for a short time, it's worth paying the animals a visit. If you prefer a little more infrastructure but don't want to miss out on the island feeling, you'll love Isla Mujeres.

This fascinating pyramid symbolizes the greatness of the Mayan culture. If you take a look at the architecture, the city must have played an important role beyond the region.

Like Palenque, Chichén Itzá was also declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 and attracts up to 8,000 visitors a day. So don't miss it under any circumstances!

If Chichén Itzá is too touristy for you and you would rather explore a Mayan ruin away from the footsteps of other travelers, we also recommend Ek Balam, which is close to Chichén Itzá.

Things get turbulent at surf contest time, as the international surfing elite meet up in Puerto. Many unforgettable parties are pre-programmed.

If you drive 50 km east along the coastal road, you will reach Mazunte and Zipolite, probably the most relaxed places on the coast. A place where happy hour is an all-day affair and the clocks generally tick slower. Hippies from all over the world and sun worshippers of all kinds flock here. The hammocks in the beach bars invite you to linger, do yoga or rent a surfboard. The turtle farm in Mazunte is also worth a visit, as are the streets of Zipolite adorned with street art.

Surrounded by ancient rainforest trees on which monkeys swing from branch to branch, the ancient palaces of great rulers shine out. The ruins are particularly mysterious in the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight illuminate them with a soft glow. They have been a UNESCO cultural heritage site since 1987 and are considered one of the most recently discovered and best-preserved Mayan ruins in the world.

There are artists' quarters with lots of students, the Mexican Venice, nice bars, restaurants, shopping streets with great stores, and, and, and. There are also street markets in almost every district where you can sample the tasty delicacies of the Latin Americans.

Mexico City has the highest density of museums in the world. You shouldn't miss the famous Frida Kahlo Museum and the Anthropological Museum in particular.

Just outside the city is Teotihuacán, a historical site from the pre-Hispanic era. At 65 meters high, the famous Pyramid of the Sun is the third tallest in the world and the second tallest structure in ancient Mesoamerica.

The year-round spring-like climate attracts backpackers, students, culture vultures and language students alike.

Guanajuato is unique in many ways. Not a single road leads in a straight line, instead they curve up and down the steep slopes, wind around hills, disappear into tunnels and then suddenly reappear at another corner. Much of the road traffic is underground, with old mine shafts being used as tunnels.

Rich silver and gold deposits made Guanajuato an urban jewel. Ornate architecture and brightly colored buildings characterize the cityscape. The historic old town and the mining facilities were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1989.

Three hours northwest of Mexico City lies a gem of colonial architecture. San Miguel Allende is particularly popular with artists, who have settled here.

The uniqueness and authenticity of Mexican cuisine can of course only be experienced in its diversity in its country of origin. One more reason to travel to Mexico.

For Mexicans, food plays an important role in their culture. This is probably also due to the large selection of fruit and vegetables available there.

TRAVEL INSIDER

BEST TIME TO TRAVEL

Best time to travel

The climate is as diverse as the country itself. Due to its proximity to the equator, moderate temperatures prevail all year round, creating ideal travel conditions. Due to the size of the country, the climate is not the same everywhere. In the highlands, it can get very cold in the winter months, while the north is characterized by warm summers and cool winters.

In contrast, you can enjoy year-round bathing weather on the Caribbean coast in the east of the country. The endless southern coast of Mexico offers a tropical climate with high humidity and constant temperatures of around 30 degrees.

The rainy season occurs at different times throughout the country. Between May and October, however, it generally rains more than during the dry season. In central Mexico, the rain tends to come in short, intense downpours in the afternoons, while in southern Mexico the climate is tropical and warm throughout and it always stays warm despite a few hours of rain.

As soon as the rain stops here, you can be sure that the sun will be at its best again.

The rainy season in the project country of your choice should not be an exclusion criterion, as the country simply shows a different side here. In the rainy season, many accommodations are cheaper and there are fewer tourists than in the dry season. The vegetation is also different at this time. If you decide to travel to Mexico during the rainy season, you will be able to experience nature in its full splendor and bloom.

MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION

means of transportation

Mexico has a well-developed transportation network. The huge country is therefore easy to travel around by public transport.

As scheduled buses pass through all the major towns, they are a particularly good means of transport for your trip. There are several large bus companies that offer regional and intercity trips and many small, local providers. The buses in Mexico are also much more comfortable than the buses we are used to in Germany. From simple buses to luxury class, everything is available in Mexico. The buses run regularly and there are night buses for long distances. However, it is advisable to buy your ticket in advance, as the busiest routes often fill up quickly. The ticket can be purchased via the bus company's app or at the counter at the local bus station. The 1st class buses travel quickly and often run without a stopover between the larger cities. Some bus companies also offer free WiFi on board. The cheaper buses, on the other hand, stop more often en route.

Another option for traveling to Mexico is by plane. Due to the numerous low-cost airlines, a plane ticket is sometimes cheaper than the bus. It is therefore always worth comparing prices. If you are lucky, you can get a ticket from Mexico City to Cancún for 30 euros.

A special highlight for every traveler is a train ride. Although rail traffic was largely shut down in 1990, two impressive routes can still be covered by train. From Los Mochis on the Pacific coast, the train travels through breathtaking gorges and over bridges in the so-called "Copper Valley", through the Sierra Tarahumara to Chihuahua.

A trip on the Tequila Express is also not to be missed. The train travels from the capital of Jalisco, Guadalajara, to the city of origin of the Mexican popular drink with the same name, "Tequlia".

Ferries run regularly to the Caribbean islands from various departure ports, as well as to Baja California in the northwest of Mexico.

Ferries run regularly to the Caribbean islands and to Baja California.

Our tip: Be sure to wait for your visit to Oaxaca to buy cheap souvenirs for friends and family, you can find the same items at the Rivera Maya for three times the price.

HISTORY AND CULTURE

History and culture

Before you visit this beautiful and diverse country, it certainly doesn't hurt to know a little about its history. The local people will certainly be able to tell you a lot, but they will be happy if you bring some knowledge with you.

Mexico's history is characterized by pre-Columbian civilizations, Spanish colonial rule and a long struggle for independence. Long before Christopher Columbus discovered America, various peoples lived in Mexico. Between 800 and 500 BC, the Zapotecs settled in Oaxaca and the Mayas on the Yucatán peninsula. This is when the now famous Monte Albán was built, which you can visit outside Oaxaca. Several other tribes joined them and built temples and entire cities in the areas they ruled, often several thousand meters above sea level. After Columbus arrived in 1492 and the Spanish under the leadership of Hernan Cortes in 1519, some Mayan and Aztec-run cities were lost to them. This included the former Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, on the ruins of which the current capital Mexico City was built.

It was not until 1821 that Mexico became independent from Spain and was officially declared a republic. Today, Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country and a total of 62 indigenous languages are recognized as official national languages.

WANDERWORLD INSIDER TIPS

Mexico is a country that truly fascinates everyone from the very first moment. Our colleague Lisa has already been able to visit some places in Mexico herself and has summarized her favourite places and experiences from her trip in 4 highlights.

Oaxaca is a vibrant, colorful and lively city. I was in love with the beautiful houses, the cute restaurants, the markets and the food from the very first moment! Oaxaca has the best cuisine in Mexico and the traditional mezcal. My favorite dish there is the tlayuda, a huge, thin and crispy tortilla topped with various ingredients. Oaxaca is the perfect place to experience Mexican culture! You can stroll through the beautiful colonial-style streets in a pleasant climate and meet up with friends in a bar in the evening. For "Día de los Muertos", the city is also decorated for days on end and there are big parades and parties.
In Puerto Escondido I went surfing for the first time in my life and it was incredible fun. The beaches are fantastic and the waves are perfect for standing on the board for the first time. It was really exhausting for me, but the sense of achievement of standing on a wave on the board is simply outstanding! In the evening, you can enjoy a well-deserved meal in the delicious restaurants and then go partying in the beach bars and clubs.
In Guadalajara you never get bored. I can walk for hours through the beautiful city and keep discovering new corners. The city combines the old colonial style with the modernity of a big city. Guadalajara is typically Mexican and I like the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether shopping or sightseeing, the city is a must on any trip to Mexico. There are also first-class restaurants and a great hostel scene.
I had a total goosebump moment when I went to the "Día de Muertos" in Mexico. The Day of the Dead takes place annually on November 2, with preparations starting as early as mid-October. It was an unforgettable experience to stand in a cemetery in Michoacán at night with candlelight and music. The atmosphere was a little spooky, but at the same time it was wonderful to see how Mexicans visit the graves of their relatives and still live this culture today. All the graves were decorated with flowers and candles, people danced, drank, laughed and cried in the cemetery - a very special experience. If you have the unique opportunity to be in Mexico at this time, you should definitely spend the festive season in Oaxaca or Michoacán.
