Flight, Hotel & Bargain Package Holidays to Mexico

Getting there and getting around

Flights from the UK to Mexico operate daily with the scheduled airlines such as British Airways. Flying to Mexico from the UK takes on average between 11 and 12 hours. Mexico’s four major tourist airports are ‘Benito Juarez International Airport’, which is not far from Mexico City, and on the west coast ‘Puerto Vallarta Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport’, Cozumel Airport and the most popular destination, Cancun International Airport. Located on the north eastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, Cancun Airport is a well equipped facility operating two terminals and bringing in millions of passengers through its gates annually. Public Shuttles run to Cancun, while some hotels provide their own shuttle service. With regard to getting around in Mexico, many of the hotels are all inclusive, therefore holidaymakers tend to stay on site. However if you would like to get out and about, there are many excursions on offer and buses are available at very reasonable prices.

Things to do

Whether or not you’ve had the pleasure of taking a holiday to Mexico before, there is a myriad of interesting things to do. Mexico is renowned for surfing, scuba diving, fishing and snorkelling. While any Mexico travel is filled with sun, there are also plenty of things to do and visit away from the beach. Why not take a cultural adventure to Valladolid and Chichen Itza, founded in 1542 on the ancient Mayan city of Zaci, ‘The pearl of the east’ is a welcoming city, full of history and a place that the people of Yucatan are truly proud of. The city is known for its exceptional colonial flavour and it is said that when walking through the streets to discover the brightly painted houses, the quaint churches and the convent of San Bernardino of Sienna, it is like walking directly into the past. For the experience of a lifetime on Mexico holidays, you should definitely try swimming with the dolphins. This excursion is available in Cancun, Cozumel and the Mayan Riviera, here you can get up close and personal with these adorable dolphins and take away a special picture reminding you of that memorable day out.

Food and drink

Eating in Cancun is a real treat. There is such variety, everything from fast food joints serving burgers and fries to elegant dining rooms offering pheasant under glass. Due to its international population, Cancun has many restaurants offering French, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese and of course Mexican cuisine, some of the finer restaurants combine elements of French and Italian cooking with Mexican, creating truly delicious meals. An example of this is a restaurant called Pericos, offering typical Mexican food and other delights in a party atmosphere that will last in your memories. “Fiesta forever” is the Mexican motto and here at Pericos they stick to it, offering fantastic evening shows and excellent cuisine.
