Easter is is a great time of year to visit Mexico. Semana Santa (or Holy Week), is a huge event here, marked in style all over the country with colourful celebrations and flamboyant processions with some surprising traditions thrown into the mix. During the second week of Easter, many Mexicans flee the cities for the coast, leaving these beautiful historical and cultural centres free for you to wander in delightful tranquility. It's still pleasantly warm in April and May, and though nearing the end of the dry season, the serious rain has yet to begin. This vast and diverse country has such a wealth of ancient history, spectacular beaches, fabulous diving and superb surfing that your biggest problem is where to start. Not to fear, our experts are on hand to give you the best insider tips for your Mexico Easter holidays.

"We planned and booked our two-week honeymoon in Mexico with Original Travel and could not have had a better experience. From the first time we reached out, our travel consultant Oliver was immensely responsive and knowledgeable, helping us put together a great itinerary in no time. We were able to make adjustments easily and rely on Oliver's recommendations of where to go, what to see, and how to avoid the crowds. We loved every stop of our trip in Mexico and all the guides we worked with on the ground were very friendly and knowledgeable. What's more, we had great feedback from our local guides about their relationship with Original Travel. We had a wonderful trip and would highly recommend booking with Original Travel - we certainly will be doing so again."

"Great trip. The highlights were exploring the vintage market in Mexico City, dinner on the roof top overlooking the church in San Miguel de Allende and wandering the streets there."
