Mexico - Accommodation and Special Offers

Surprising, exuberant, colourful and full of contrast, Mexico is two million square miles of pure fascination. Curving from northwest to southeast it encompasses vibrant desert landscapes, picturesque colonial pueblos, snow-capped volcanoes, steaming jungle and some of the most magical beaches in the world. From mole sauce and mescal to marching mariachi bands, prepare for your senses to be assailed by unforgettable sights, tastes and sounds. This is the land where the great empires of the Olmec, Maya and Aztecs flourished, leaving behind their astonishing legacy of archaeological treasures. It's where Cortés and the conquistadors left their mark too, and where today over fifty distinct indigenous peoples, each with their own language, live and work. The Yucatan Peninsula, famed for its porcelain white beaches, sunshine and cerulean sea, holds extraordinary surprises. Here are historical haciendas, the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, one of the seven new wonders of the modern world, the fine colonial cities of Merida and Valladolid and the deep natural pools of the cenotes. Across to the west on the Baja California, a pleasure paradise awaits for those into fishing, sailing and whale watching, whilst in Punta Mita, close to Puerto Vallarta, there's a chance to enjoy glorious beachside seclusion by the rolling Pacific. No visit to Mexico would be complete without experiencing the buzz of Mexico City, a sprawling metropolis brimming with attractions. Remarkable museums, chaotic markets, taco and juice stalls, magnificent cathedrals, and everywhere fond tributes to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, artistic giants whose lives seem to capture the very soul of Mexico. Served by regular flights direct from London, the city makes the perfect base for multi-centre holidays; internal flights reach every corner of the country.
