Mexico is one of the most popular travel destinations. Although Mexico is enjoyable all year, some seasons are more crowded than others. In particular, the southern coast is exceptionally crowded during the summer months between July and September. During this time of the year, hundreds of college students descend from the northern hemisphere for a bit of sun and sand. Additionally, hundreds of European tourists also find this to be popular time to visit sunny Mexico.

The months between December and February are notably the slowest as far as tourist travel in Mexico. The weather is a bit more disagreeable with colder temperatures. Hotel rates will, however, be a bit less expensive and more reasonable. Moreover, the hotel rates are typically cheaper during the week as opposed to on the weekend.

When requesting a room at a hotel ask if there are any specials. Quite often, it is possible to get a senior citizen discount or a discount with an automotive membership such as AAA. Moreover, you should always use the recommendation of a friend, relative, or coworker when deciding which hotel to book at. Not all hotels offer the same amenities or great service. If you cannot obtain a recommendation from someone that you know, search through the message boards on the Internet.

Whenever booking your stay, request a full list of any fees that will be charged. Hidden fees are often the fastest way to have your hotel bill go from reasonable to unreasonable in a matter of minutes. Additionally, you should also ask for a list of the services that are included with your hotel reservation fee.

Thought of by many as an exclusive resort town, Cabo San Lucas is appealing, small, and close to the harbor. Odd rock formations, palapas, white sands, gorgeous sunsets, and crystal clear waters are only some of the intriguing facets to this town.

The malecуn or pedestrian walkway snakes along the harbor and offers the opportunity for a relaxing stroll. The path takes you right to the sport-fishing docks where you can get a glimpse of the day’s catch. The Baja waters offer approximately two-dozen different species of fish to sport fishers with striped marlin being available year round.

Exploring this area won’t take you to anything very historic; however, secluded coves over rock formations, hidden beaches, and surfing areas to explore. In fact, Chileno Bay offers some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving spots in the area.

The beaches of Cabo San Lucas are popular for many reasons. In addition to the sun and sand, the beachfronts offer outdoor dining, parasailing, kayaking, and sea craft rentals such as such as wave runners and catamarans. Mйdano Beach or Playa El Mйdano is just north of town and offers excellent sunbathing opportunities.

Beaches at Land’s End are typically accessible by boat only, but that could add to the excitement. The most crowded beach in all of Cabo San Lucas is Lover’s Beach. Water taxis drop off and pick up beach goers throughout the day.

Pack a picnic lunch, as this spot offers nothing but relaxation and fun. From this beach, one can always walk over to Divorce Beach or Solmar Beach. However, the rough currents make swimming way too dangerous at these spots; so only go if you plan on treading your toes in the white sands as you comb the beach for treasures.

But love of Mexico is more than a one-day event. Mexico, the northern most country of Latin America, has a long and varied history that its citizens can be proud of. This nation covers an area of 760,000 square miles and has a population expanding well beyond the ninety million mark. Its capital, Mexico City, is one of the world’s most crowded cities. Guadalajara, Monterrey and Netzahualcoyotl are other heavily populated Mexican cities. Many travelers choose to visit these Mexican cities as well as Tijuana, Acapulco and Vera Cruz to name a few popular destinations. Blue shoes

Of course Mexico’s history extends long before it was actually known as Mexico. Indian empires once built ancient cities and formed great and complex cultures. These early Indians of Mexico also invented a calendar, developed a counting system and used their own form of writing. The first people to have lived in Mexico are believed to have arrived there c.20,000 B.C. These people hunted such creatures as buffalo, mammoths and mastodons until the climate became considerably drier. Agriculture took the place of large-scale hunting and early farmers cultivated peppers, corn, beans and tomatoes.

Mayan civilization developed between 250 A.D. and 900. Their impact to the region was considerable and many of their pyramids can still be visited such as those at Teotihuacan. It is not precisely known why the Mayan civilization declined and fell, but it was followed by the Toltec and Aztec empires. The Toltecs worshipped a feathered-serpent god known as Quetzacoatl and notoriously practiced human sacrifice in their religion. The Aztecs founded Tenochtitlan—also known as Mexico City.

The Aztecs were the last Indian empire to rule Mexico until they fell to the invading Spanish in 1521. While the conquering Spanish were quite brutal towards their Indian subjugates, they did introduce many changes that influenced religion, government and agriculture. The Spanish also practiced mass intermarrying between the cultures which resulted in today’s Mexican people. Flats shoes

Mexico was a Spanish colony for roughly three hundred years so Spanish influence can be felt in many ways across the nation. Mexico finally won its independence from Spain in 1821. War with the United States occurred in the middle of the eighteen hundreds over Texas which was eventually won by the U.S. Modern Mexican history is full of a cast of colorful personalities—both heroic and notorious characters. Emperor Maximilian, Benito Juarez (defeated the French and went on to become president of Mexico in 1867), Porfiro Diaz, Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata are only a few of Mexico’s famous and infamous historic personages.

But the history of Mexico is about more than empires and wars—even though the country has been persistently plagued by political unrest, rebellion and war. Religion and art also form part of Mexican culture’s core. More than ninety percent of Mexicans practice Roman Catholocism which greatly influences the nation. Mexico has also produced many world renowned artists such as Diego Rivera and his wife Frida Kahlo. Historic authors include Jose Joaquin Fernandez de Lizardi, Mariano Azuela, Martin Luis Guzman, Carlos Fuentes and Octavio Paz. Hello Kitty Shoes

Today Mexico faces many challenges. Poverty is a real concern for the people of this nation. Over-population of cities causes many problems for the country. Nevertheless, many Mexicans from outlying agricultural regions still pour into the major cities in the hopes of finding work. A relatively recent obstacle for this nation was the earthquake that struck central Mexico and Mexico City in 1985 causing about 7,500 deaths and more than four billion in damages.

Still, Mexicans have much to be proud of and many reasons to celebrate their great country. From world-famous cuisine to bull-fights to soccer to music and great locales hospitable to flocks of tourists, Mexico has a wealth of cultural offerings. The land itself is reason enough to visit this remarkable nation. Each region of Mexico contains its own unique history and the land of these regions varies greatly. For example, the Plateau of Mexico contains a series of volcanoes that are still active. The upside to the volcanoes is the fertile soil they give way to making agriculture quite successful in this region. The Yucatan Peninsula is generally a hotspot for tourists who enjoy resorts dotted along the Gulf of Mexico. Much of the land of Mexico is arid so water is a hot commodity.
