The Land of Enchantment isn't short on history. Their pre-Hispanic civilizations were busy bees, creating some of the most complex architecture in the ancient world. Much of it still stands today, a testament to their sophisticated civilization. Then, of course, the Spanish arrived and left their own layer of culture that permeated every corner of the land. Some of the nation's greatest cities have at their core an achingly beautiful colonial old town, one of the best places to look for a Mexico vacation rental. Modern Mexico continues to inspire and enrich, with a thriving art scene, in part due to the works of Frida Kahlo.
Mexico is big. Very big. Its reaches house every imaginable landscape you can think of – smoky volcanoes, glistening lagoons, lush rainforest and cactus-dotted deserts, not to mention the mile upon mile of coast, almost 6,000 miles in fact. This outdoor adventure playground has long drawn in explorers who come to hit the surf, go hiking up the mountains and white-water raft along the meandering rivers. If that all sounds a little too extreme, when you stay at a Mexico vacation rental you can find more sedate activities, like sea kayaking, snorkeling, or simply kicking back on the beach.
The country's span means several different climates that change throughout the year. The mountains and Mexico City can get chilly in the winter, while the coasts stay warm pretty much year-round. As a general rule of thumb, try to score a Mexico vacation rental in the spring months, between March and May, when it's suitably warm wherever you are, and the summer rains have yet to kick in. Other than the Caribbean coast, which sees the odd hurricane between June and November, there's no other time that's off limits and you'll always have something to see or do.
This vast land is home to more than 10 per cent of the world's biodiversity. Trust us when we say, that's a lot and ranks it as one of the most varied ecosystems on earth. Putting that into perspective, when you stay in a Mexico vacation rental, you could have close wildlife encounters with any of the 200,000 species in 65,000 square miles of protected land. Watch monkeys swinging through the jungle, snorkel with gentle whale sharks and watch roadrunners race in the desert. Needless to say, Mexico is a wildlife lover's dream destination.
Mexico has beautiful beaches that offer unique geological formations and opportunities for watersports. Vacation rentals are available near places like Cabo Pulmo National Park, a serene oceanfront recreation area with sandy beaches and a coral reef for snorkeling and diving, and Bahia de Banderas, a bay on the Pacific Coast with soft-sand beaches, surfing, and whale watching. You'll also like Playa Norte, a sandy beach with palm trees and a backdrop of restaurants and bars.
Mexican cuisine has been around for thousands of years, drawing on influences from the Maya culture and other Mesoamerican groups. Staples in the cuisine are native foods, such as corn, beans, amaranth, avocados, chia, tomatoes, cacao, agave, turkey, and chili pepper, all fused into flavorful dishes. If you want to experience the authentic cuisine of Mexico, visit a restaurant or eatery near your vacation rental.
