Mexico Summer Holidays

Mexico’s numerous spellbinding beaches and flour-soft coves are an obvious choice for Mexico summer holidays, lending themselves to laid-back time spent lounging in the sun. The Yucatan Peninsula mixes jungle landscapes and Caribbean coastline, so you can blend off-the-beaten track adventures with sea swims and barefoot beach days. Here you can also experience one of Mexico’s defining features: cenotes, which are equally enchanting for swimming, snorkelling or diving in. Glide through the underwater caverns of Cenote Dos Ojos, spotting colourful fish along the way, or indulge in natural spa treatments at Chablé Yucatán’s private cenote.

Mexico’s Fiestas de la Vendimia (Grape Harvest Festival) takes place during July, so any budding sommeliers can get involved with traditional grape stomping and wine tasting during your Mexico summer holidays. Cantoya Festival sees the sky above Patzcuaro filled with colourful paper balloons, demonstrating the creativity of local artisans. This magical event is a must-see for any avid artists. For those in search of a more full-on fiesta, Guelaguetza Festival in Oaxaca City showcases folkloric dancing and regional music, along with traditional food offerings (and it’s no secret that Mexico excels when it comes to culinary fare).
