From extreme desert conditions to white sand beaches in tropical paradise, old colonial towns to even older Mayan ruins hidden within dense jungles, Mexico is a fascinating place to explore, a vibrant nighttime hotspot, and a beautiful country to relax in.

Journey through the Yucatan Peninsula to major archaeological sites including Palenque, considered the most beautiful Mayan Ruin to Chichen Itza, one of the best restored and most impressive ruins, or to postcard perfect Tulum, perched on the cliff beside beautiful aqua ocean. The active will want to head to Cozumel, where excellent snorkeling and scuba diving await.

At night, Cancun is one of the top places to be, with parties raging through the night, while the really adventurous can camp up high in Mexico’s top peaks, including Pico de Orizaba, (5610 metres) or Popocatepetl (5,452 metres). In Mexico, there is much to discover for any type of style and taste.

Everybody says Mexico City is an extremly dangerous city, but from my experience I can tell you, that as long as you don't run around in expensive clothes and shoes without any jewelry, noboy will do you any harm. Actually it's the opposite: Mexicans are warm hearted people how are very proud of their country, and especially of Mexico City, and like to share their knowledge of it with everybody!

Very important to see, besides the usual things you can read in every guide, are the different markets in different parts of the town (especially the "TEPITO" market. Also very interesting are the little Taco Bars in the streets. Don't think about what to eat. Just eat and then ask!

There is a really fantastic new organization called Fundacion En Via (www.envia.org) that is running microfinance tours to help women living around Oaxaca get out of poverty. You meet with local women who are applying for their loans and then En Via uses 100% of the groups' tour fee to give them women interest-free microloans.

It is a phenomenal way to get to connect with local women and get a very inside look at life in Oaxaca, and also a concrete way to give back.

The best thing I've done in Mexico!
