You name it, Mexico has it. Stunning beaches, lush jungle, mountains, hot springs, amazing food, friendly locals, affordable prices and pretty towns & cities.
It´s one of the countries I have traveled the most extensively and it has made it to my TOP 3 favourite countries easily.
Mexico is HUGE, you can spend months and months here and always explore new areas and things to do without getting bored anytime soon.
Even though it has gotten more and more popular to tourists over the last years, it still has a lot of great hidden gems.
I personally did a mix of the typical tourist destinations (Cancun, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Escondido etc.) and hidden gems & off the beaten path places.
I have spent approximately 4 months in this Mexico in early 2022, out of them two months driving through the country and mostly car camping in my mini camper.

General Information & Good To Know before visiting Mexico
Language:
Spanish if the official language in Mexico. English is in my experience mostly spoken in very touristy areas and upscale restaurants/ hotels. Outside of touristy areas not very much.
Currency:
Mexican Peso (MXN). Around 20 Pesos for 1 EUR and 17 Pesos for 1 USD
Weather:
Different weather throughout the country depending on the region and elevation. Generally a tropical country with high temperatures year-round. Dry season is from November to April.
Safety:
While I have personally felt super safe throughout my several months in Mexico, it is a country with relatively high crime rates. Especially in cities and regions with larger cartel activities, extra caution is a good idea. Don’t necessarily walk around by yourself at night, be aware of your surroundings etc. Even after solo car camping in Mexico for 2+ months, I did not have a single negative experience related to safety.
