Mexico usually conjures images of a wild nightlife, getting high on tequila, gorging on fiery Mexican cuisines, and visiting well known sightseeing places like the Xochimilco canal system, Palaci de Bellas Artes, and Xcaret. Besides all these rewards of buying air tickets to Mexico, there are numerous off the beaten attractions as well that cast a spell upon visitors.
Chiapas
Far from the maddening crowd, Chiapas is the place to get introduced to the serene side of Mexico. Abundant lakes and waterfalls make for a highly soothing ambience. Explore the exquisite carvings and frescoes at the ancient Mayan city of Palenque and take a dip in the brilliant blue mineral rich waters of the Cataratas de Agua Azu. Check out colourful winged denizens like the Resplendent Quetzal at the Reserva de la Biosfera el Triunfo.
Copper Canyon
Much larger than the much more publicised Grand Canyon, this place is the confluence point of as many as six rivers. A verdant greenery of fig, oak, fir, and pine trees mesmerise the visitor. The Divisadero town on the way proves to be a photographer’s delight with its vertiginous heights.
Isla Holbox
Isla Holbox, a small barrier island, and an erstwhile shark fishing town is a place, which witnesses the migration of one of the largest populations of endangered whale sharks in the world. In fact, marine life aficionados buying air tickets to Mexico for the summer months of May to August can witness the spectacle of the migration of more than 2000 whale sharks here. The Isla Holbox feeding grounds prove perfect for swimming with these gentle giants.
Puerto Escondido
A highly satiating beach experience awaits one at Puerto Escondido. The Zicatela beach here, often called ‘The Mexican Pipeline’ emerges as a haven with surfers. During the season time here from May to July, waves sometimes shoot to heights exceeding 30 feet. Those without much of a hardcore surfing experience can try out the gentler waters of the Playa Carrizalillo and a few of the other beaches.
Sian Ka’an
Sian Ka’an, translating as ‘Where the sky was born', is an immense conservation area of cenotes, lagoons, and mangrove jungles. Established more than two decades ago on the Caribbean coast of Mexico as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the Sian Ka’an is like an ever growing stretch of paradise as vast stretches of land are becoming its part. Visitors can have their fill of hiking, bird watching, swimming, and kayaking here.
Merida
Outside Mexico City, Merido is the second largest historic centre and the erstwhile hub of sisal trade. Grand mansions as well as crumbling ruins dot the streets giving Merida an indescribable old world character. Many of these quaint old structures have been refurbished as classy hotels. A must visit spot here is the Cathedral of San Ildefonso, which is amongst the oldest cathedrals in the continent of America. The cathedral was built from the stones of pulled down pyramids. Travellers booking Mexico flight tickets during winters can join the special winter tours to the spot.
