Exploring Mexico
Mexico
Mexico is a place where every step feels like an expedition through time. From the shadowed ruins of Teotihuacán to the colonial brilliance of Oaxaca’s churches and the art-soaked alleyways of Guanajuato, this is a country that speaks fluently in architecture, culture, and chaos. For the architecture-curious explorer, it’s a living museum; layered with Indigenous, Spanish, Baroque, and even Brutalist elements, all wrapped in fiery street food, bustling mercados, and mariachi beats.
Backpackers are drawn here not just for the affordability or world-class tacos, but for the sheer variety. You can surf the Pacific in the morning, wander through Mayan ruins by midday, and dance salsa in a cobbled colonial plaza by night. Whether you’re chasing sunsets on the Yucatán coast or mapping out Mexico City’s architectural icons, this country delivers adventure in every direction; it leaves you with stories to tell but also the yearning to not leave!
