Looking for Travel Tips for Mexico? After spending almost a year in this amazing country (and loving it!), we’ve put together this guide to share with you the best of Mexico.
Undoubtably, Mexico has ome of the best beaches in the world, delicious food, warm and friendly locals, and lots of history and culture, Mexico is a destination that has a lot to offer for any traveler. While most people associate it with sunshine and beaches, its deep history and culture are also worth exploring.
Mexico Quick Information
Currency: Mexican Peso
Electricity Socket: 127V AC electricity, with a standard frequency of 60Hz. Power outlets are usually two-prong flat sockets.
If the voltage in your country is 220 to 240V, you may need a voltage converter for your appliances and electronics to work well. Be sure to pack a universal travel adaptor so you can still use all your electronic gadgets.
Visa: Mexico offers visa-exempt entry to nationals of over 60 countries if you’re traveling for business or leisure for a period of 180 days or less. You may also be exempt from visa if you hold a permanent residency or a valid visa in/for certain countries. In my case (Anna), as I had a valid Schengen visa, I was able to get visa-free entry for 6 months.
If in doubt, we suggest checking with your nearest Mexican consulate to confirm if you need a visa to enter the country.
Intending to stay longer in Mexico? Whether it’s residency, work permit, or another visa, it’s a good idea to look into the requirements for the visa type that you need and prepare accordingly for your visa application.
Safety: Mexico does have a bit of a bad reputation due to drug-related crimes and violence. That said, these incidents typically occur in the north, particularly along the U.S. border. For the most part, Mexico is safe to travel to especially if you’re heading to tourist areas and as long as you stay away from anything related to drugs and illegal substances.
Petty crime and pickpocketing can be an issue so it’s best to stay vigilant of your belongings. Exercise caution and common sense: don’t drive alone at night, don’t flash large amounts of cash, don’t wear flashy jewelry or watches. If you can, avoid taking taxis alone.
Our travel insurance of choice is Safety Wing as they offer renewable monthly insurance plans at an affordable price. SafetyWing also now offers cover for COVID-19 and covers a wide range of adventure travel activities.
Language: Spanish is the official language of Mexico. That said, in most tourist areas, English is spoken and understood to varying degrees, depending on where you visit. The further you go off the tourist track, the less likely you’ll be able to find people who speak and understand English.
However, with that being said, you will be able to get by with even the most basic knowledge of Spanish. Learning even just a few common phrases in Spanish can go a long way when you’re visiting Mexico! Mexicans are very accommodating with tourists and travelers who try to speak their language, even if you’re just using phrases or broken sentences.
If you take the time to engage with Mexicans in Spanish, they’ll definitely appreciate your effort and will try their best to help you with what you need!
Transportation in Mexico: Don’t underestimate the size of Mexico! To travel larger distances, flying is your best bet. Most flights, especially if you’re flying from the Yucatan Peninsula all the way to the Pacific side of the country, often stop in Mexico City for a layover.
If you prefer to travel slow or are going shorter distances, consider taking the bus in Mexico. A popular bus company that runs all throughout the country is ADO. If you would like to plan your route and book your bus tickets ahead of time, check out Bookaway.
Here are a few transportation guides for various places in Mexico:
- Cancun to Isla Mujeres
- Cancun to Tulum
- Cancun to Playa del Carmen
- How to get to Holbox from Cancun
- Playa del Carmen to Tulum
Seeing Mexico by bus is not only affordable but it’s also an awesome way to see more of the Mexican countryside. If you want a more local experience, you can also hop on the local transport which is called collectivos. These minivans are super cheap and take you around most places. They do tend to get a bit crowded as this is what the locals use on a daily basis.
There are taxis available anywhere but as always, make sure you check the price before getting in. In larger cities like Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, or Merida, ride-sharing apps like Uber are available.
Personally, our preferred mode of transportation is renting a car! Here in Playa del Carmen where we are based, the roads are in great condition and everything is clearly marked. Car rentals are super cheap and a great way to travel around without having to rely on group tours.
As a general safety precaution though, if you are driving through the country, it’s a good idea to travel in the daytime. Opt for the tolled highways as they are safer, cut down travel time, and are in better conditions.
Before planning your trip, we suggest checking the latest information via the nearest Mexican embassy or checking the Mexican Health Ministry for updates (in Spanish).

Mexico Trip Planning
Best Time to Go to Mexico
The best time to go to Mexico depends on which region you’re visiting and what your plans are. Remember, Mexico is a rather large country so the weather can vary a lot, depending on where you plan to go!
Generally speaking, December to April is the most popular time to go to Mexico as it’s the driest time of the year in most of the country. However, this means that you’ll be among lots of other travelers — accommodation prices will be higher and resorts will be more crowded.
Summer (June to October) is the rainy season in Mexico but it rarely rains in the north and the central part of the country typically only gets short afternoon showers. That said, we’d suggest avoiding September to mid-October as heavy rains and storms are the norm during this time.
The best time to go to Mexico is November, when the rains are over yet before the crowds of the peak seasons arrive.

Rough Budget
It’s challenging to suggest a daily budget for travel to Mexico as it really depends on the way you travel. However, from our experience, we know that it is possible to travel in Mexico for as little as $35 a day, depending on what type of accommodation you prefer as that will take up the bulk of your budget.
Transport in Mexico is cheap as is the food, especially when you eat at local restaurants.
Here is a rough cost of basic commodities:
Accommodation
Budget: Dorm ~$10 / Private ~$20
Mid-Range: $45+
Splurge: $140+
Food (Typical Meal For One)
Street Food: $1-3
Local Restaurant: $5-10
Fine dining: $80+
Transport
City Metro / Bus: $0.50
Long-distance Bus: $5-6 per hour of travel
Taxis: $2+
What to Pack for Traveling Mexico
Wondering what to pack for your trip to Mexico? While it largely depends on the time of year and which region you’re visiting, generally speaking, light clothes suitable for warm to temperate weather will be sufficient. We’d also suggest bringing a layer or two for cool evenings, especially if you’re traveling inland.
If you’re headed to Mexico for some sun and sea, our beach packing list has you covered!
The winter in Mexico is relatively mild but you should still pack a sweater or two as the temperatures dip in the mornings and evenings. If you’re intending to travel within Mexico, it’s much easier to get from town to town and city to city with a backpack rather than a rolling luggage. Consider using a backpack like the Osprey Farpoint 40 or a carry-on duffle bag.
Don’t forget to bring a daypack as well! They’re handy for any excursions or adventures you go on while in Mexico.
Personal Recommendation: If you’re looking for an awesome daypack, check out the Nomatic Backpack. It’s stylish, sturdy, and with enough room for everything you need on a day out. We absolutely love ours and we don’t go anywhere without them!
Other essentials to bring include bug spray and sunscreen (both can be overpriced in Mexico!). Opt to pack reef-safe sunscreen as some places won’t let you enter with regular sunscreen!
Since tap water in Mexico isn’t safe to drink, it’s also a good idea to bring a water bottle with a filter or a portable water filtration straw.

What to Eat in Mexico
Chances are, you’re familiar with popular Mexican foods like tacos, quesadillas, and fajitas. But believe me, it’s all extra tasty when you’re eating in Mexico.
Aside from those well-known foods, there are loads of other Mexican dishes that you may not know about but definitely should try while you’re visiting.
Here are our recommendations for what to eat in Mexico and the best Mexican Food.
Street Tacos
Seriously, don’t leave Mexico without at least having authentic tacos! Corn tortillas filled with meat, salsa, cilantro, onion, and lime, these tasty babies are great any time of the day. Variations to try include tacos al pastor which have marinated pork, tacos arabes which are wrapped with a pita-like tortilla, and gringas which use flour tortillas and cheese.
Don’t forget to sauce your tacos! Most taquerias have (at least) 2 sauces which are green and red. They can be quite spicy so be sure to taste-test before dousing your tacos in the sauces! We have a never-ending love affair with tacos al pastor and are always on the hunt for the best ones wherever we go!
Elote (Corn on the cob)
Give this a try when you spot street vendors selling them. This isn’t the usual corn on the cob that you may know. Aside from butter and salt, elotes are doused with sour cream, mayo, cheese, and chili powder. It’s a party in your mouth!
Tortas
These Mexican-style sandwiches work well as a light lunch or snack in between bouts of sightseeing. Whether it’s a street vendor or a restaurant, you can fill the crusty bread roll with a meat of your choice, beans, cheese, avocado… and whatever else you want!
Go hot, cold, pressed, or toasted — no matter, it’ll be a filling treat.
Nopalitos
Ready to go a bit exotic? This dish made of nopales, which is part of a cactus, is a dish you should definitely try. Have it for breakfast with eggs or have it as a salad with cilantro, tomatoes, and avocado.
Flautas
Also known as taquitos, flautas are a Mexican dish that is basically tortillas rolled up and fried. They’re usually filled with meat and cheesy, and served with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and lettuce.
Chilaquiles
Calling all nacho-lovers! You’ll love this dish. Made up of fried, crispy tortilla chips and swimming in sauces, and topped with cheese and onions (and sometimes meat), this is a great dish either as an appetizer or on its own. The lush green and red salsa, together with the crunchy tortilla and flavorsome toppings are just yummy!
Mole Poblano
There are many types of mole sauces in Mexico but we recommend trying mole poblano. This velvety smooth brown sauce, made of chili pepper and chocolate (among other things) works well with everything from meat to fried eggs to roasted veggies.
Places to Stay in Mexico
Hotels, resorts, apartments with beach views, villa-style accommodations… Mexico has it all! No matter your budget, you’ll be able to find a spot to stay that fits your needs.
