Why Mexico Should Be on Your Bucket List!✨ In June this year, I got to tick off one of my Bucket List Destinations. A destination where rich culture, stunning landscapes, and vibrant history collide. Mexico offers a kaleidoscope of experiences that left me in awe! 🌵 From the bustling streets of Mexico City to the tranquil beaches of Isla Holbox, there's something here for every traveller. Mexico City: A cultural powerhouse, Mexico City is where I started my journey and what a way to start! Stroll through the historic centre, where the grand Zócalo square—one of the largest in the world—buzzes with life, surrounded by architectural marvels like the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace. Dive into the city’s rich history at the Templo Mayor, an archaeological site that offers a glimpse into the ancient Aztec civilization. Whether you're savouring street tacos in Coyoacán or exploring the lush Chapultepec Park, Mexico City is an intoxicating blend of the old and new that will captivate your senses. 🎨🌮 Oaxaca: Nestled in the heart of the Sierra Madre mountains, Oaxaca is a vibrant tapestry of indigenous traditions, colonial architecture, and world-renowned cuisine. This city is a haven for food lovers—taste the rich, complex flavours of traditional mole, sample artisanal mezcal, and enjoy fresh Tlayudas in bustling markets. Oaxaca’s rich history is evident at every turn; explore the ancient ruins of Monte Albán, a UNESCO World Heritage site that offers stunning views and a fascinating insight into the Zapotec civilization. As you wander the colourful streets of the city, you’ll encounter artisans crafting intricate textiles, pottery, and Alebrijes—brightly coloured folk art sculptures that bring the region’s mythical creatures to life. Oaxaca’s lively festivals, like Día de los Muertos, add even more colour to this already vibrant city, making it a destination that will leave an indelible mark on your heart, as it did mine. 🏺🍫 Isla Holbox: My favourite stop of this trip. Isla Holbox is a tranquil island paradise where the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico converge to create a natural wonderland. This serene retreat is perfect for those looking to unwind, with its pristine white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a pace of life that encourages relaxation. Adventure seekers will find plenty to do, from kayaking through mangroves to swimming alongside majestic whale sharks, the gentle giants of the ocean. Nature lovers will be thrilled by the island’s rich biodiversity—watch flamingos and other exotic birds in their natural habitats, or take a sunset cruise to witness the bioluminescent waters light up the night. With no cars and a laid-back atmosphere, Isla Holbox is the perfect destination to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature in its purest form. 🌅🦩 Mexico isn’t just a place to visit; it’s a place to fall in love with.
