3. Breathtaking Landscape
Much of Mexico’s appeal lies in its breathtaking natural beauty. The Caribbean coast is fringed by pristine white sand beaches lapped by crystal clear warm waters. Just off the coast lie colorful reefs to explore, while a short distance inland ancient Mayan ruins are hidden away in lush jungle. The Pacific coast of Mexico is equally appealing.
