Mexico offers an enormous variety of travel experiences, from the beaches of Cancún, Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen and Tulum to the culture and history of Mexico City, the food and architecture of Oaxaca, the resorts of Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos, and the ancient Maya sites of the Yucatán Peninsula.

Don't worry if your question seems simple. Information from travellers who have actually visited a destination can often be far more useful than a generic travel guide.

Discover Mexico City​

Mexico City is one of the world's great city-break destinations, combining historic neighbourhoods, museums, markets, restaurants, parks and an enormous variety of things to see and do.

If you've visited Mexico City, consider starting a discussion about your experience.

Useful topics might include:

Best areas to stay in Mexico City
Mexico City itinerary for 3, 5 or 7 days
Best things to do in Mexico City
Mexico City airport transport
Day trip from Mexico City to Teotihuacán
Where to eat in Mexico City


First-hand recommendations about neighbourhoods, transport and places to eat can be particularly helpful to travellers planning their first visit.

Cancún, Riviera Maya, Tulum & Playa del Carmen​

The Caribbean coast is one of Mexico's best-known holiday regions.

Use the forum to discuss Cancún hotels, Riviera Maya resorts, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres and the many attractions throughout Quintana Roo and the Yucatán Peninsula.

Questions and trip reports could cover subjects such as:

Cancún vs Playa del Carmen – which is better?
Best all-inclusive resorts in Cancún
Things to do in Riviera Maya
Is Tulum worth visiting?
Best cenotes near Cancún and Playa del Carmen
Cancún airport transfers and transport
Best day trips from Cancún


Mexico's official tourism site also highlights destinations throughout the Yucatán and Maya Caribbean alongside regions across the rest of the country. (Visit Mexico)

Explore Beyond the Main Resorts​

There is much more to Mexico than its major beach resorts.

Travellers can also exchange advice about destinations such as Oaxaca, Guadalajara, Mérida, Puebla, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, Puerto Vallarta, Baja California, Los Cabos and Chiapas.

If you've discovered somewhere memorable, tell other travellers about it.

It doesn't need to be a long travel guide. A short post about a town, beach, restaurant, hotel, attraction or journey can become valuable information for someone planning their own trip.

Answer questions, recommend destinations and share practical information that travellers may struggle to find elsewhere.

Real experiences are what make a travel community useful.

If someone asks about a destination you've visited, add a reply. Your recommendation about a neighbourhood, hotel, beach, restaurant, bus journey or day trip might make a significant difference to their holiday.
