Mexico

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.

Puerto Vallarta, Central Pacific Coast, Mexico
I've been to PV on Spring Break for the past 5 years and it's worth going back every time! What the city lacks in beaches, it makes up for in nightlife. The Collage foam night is epic and shouldn't be missed and some of the bars on the main strip are lots of fun as well. It's also probably one of the safer Spring Break destinations in Mexico. I've always been with friends, and we've never felt threatened or unsafe.
