Travel Tips for Mexico Insider: Beyond Cancun

The last time I was in Mexico, it was so everyone else - so it seemed. But it is possible to travel to Mexico and enjoy a white sandy beach and the peace and tranquility at the same time. All you need to know is where to go (and in some cases, though).

When to go

November to April is widely regarded as the best time to visit. The summer months can get very hot. September and October is the peak of hurricane season, which actually extends from November to June.

Pressthe fact that the month of March tends to be very busy on the beaches of Mexico, with high school and college students in spring break. If it's a quiet holiday you want, you want to avoid the time around Christmas and Easter, July and August.

How

It 's true there are a lot more in Mexico - and the Yucatan Peninsula - the city of Cancun.

Here are five most popular destinations that memorable Mexican holiday is to offer. Each of theseSpot can be reached by flying to Cancun. So if you want a taste of the big resort town and then go to the less traveled route, you will have the best of both worlds.

1. Isla Mujeres. Only 8 miles across the bay of Cancun, Isla Mujeres is a peaceful fishing village with restaurants, shops and small boutique hotels. In fact the island is relaxed: The island itself is less than a mile wide and about five miles in length. Downtown Isla Mujeres onlyabout six blocks. The island's signature turquoise waters and white sand beaches great for snorkeling and diving. Rent a kayak, scuba equipment and other equipment directly on the beach. Other activities to enjoy during your stay in Isla Mujeres include fishing, sailing and swimming with dolphins.

2. Riviera Maya stretches the peninsula from Cancun to Tulum. Here you will find the species are white sand beaches and water sports, includingDiving along the Great Maya Reef, the second largest coral reef in the world. Diving and snorkeling can be rewarded with the view of marine life from sea anemones, sponges and sea cucumbers and sea urchins, starfish and sea caves. Sport fishing is big business in the Riviera Maya as well. Other activities include golf, spa go, and eco-tours in various nature reserves in the region. Two strengths: the Xcaret eco-park and SianBioshphere Ka'an.

3. Playa del Carmen. About 40 minutes drive along the coast of Cancun, Playa del Carmen Maya is growing into a lively town on the Riviera. If you like shopping, you'll love Playa del Carmen. Boutiques across the city offered by the top fashions of European research in the field of crafts from local artisans.
During your stay, miss, not Fifth Avenue (Fifth Avenue). E 'in the heart of Playa. There are no cars, you can walk along the avenue and street talkArtists, including artists and musicians. Playa del Carmen offers the first dinner, when most of the restaurants on the Riviera Maya are located here, and many of them are on Fifth Avenue itself. The bars and discos are hopping in the evening, so bring your dancing shoes.

4. Xel-Ha. Xel-Ha is an archaeological site and eco-park, between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. This destination offers adventure for all ages and mesmerizing ecological attractions and waterSports such as diving and snorkelling. You can swim with dolphins here.

Tulum is the starting point for eco-tourism and adventure travel, so be sure to shop around and sightseeing.

For an ideal holiday and round, try a couple of days will study the gradeur Riviera Maya, so the time to look around and play in the lively Playa del Carmen and one or two days to visit the Mayan ruins - and under the seats - from Tulum.
