MEXICO |
Mexico is located in the northern region of the American continent between the Gulf of Mexico on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west. It is bordered by the United States on the north and by Guatemala and Belize on the south. Mexico’s land area extends 1,964,375 sq km, which is divided into six tourist regions.
Mexico’s 32 states are truly diverse, as each one has countless tourist destinations offering a wide array of activities.
Monterrey, known as the Sultan of the North, is located in Mexico’s northern region, 729 km (452 mi) northeast of Guadalajara and 993 km (616 mi) north of Mexico City. The climate is hot, with an average temperature of 23º C (73º F).
Monterrey is the state capital of Nuevo Leon and it ranks among Mexico’s three most important cities. In addition, it offers countless tourist attractions, such as its colonial and contemporary architecture. Here you can see the contrast of new and old as you marvel at beautiful buildings like the Palacio del Obispado and the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo (Contemporary Art Museum). At the Macro Plaza, the heart of Monterrey, you’ll see imposing civic and religious edifices. There you also can visit interesting museums that house valuable exhibits offering an overview of the city’s 400-year history.
In the surrounding areas you can enjoy gorgeous natural scenery at the Cascada Cola de Caballo National Park and Cumbres de Monterrey National Park. The park is one of the nation’s largest parks and consists of the Chipinque Ecological Park, the Cañon de la Huasteca (Huasteca Canyon) and the Cerro de la Silla, ideal spots for camping, ecotourism and adventure tourism.
Due to the city’s importance as an industrial center and its proximity to the United States, Monterrey is an excellent place for shopping. During your visit be sure to try cabrito asado (roast kid), one of the state’s most famous dishes. |

Cancun is a world-renowned tourist resort. Four million visitors arrive each year in an average of 190 flights daily. The Hotel Zone of Cancun is shaped like a 7 with bridges on each end connecting to the mainland. Hotels on the vertical or long side of the 7 tend to have rougher beaches and beach erosion can be a problem. Resorts on the horizontal or short end of the seven tend to have more gentle surf because the waves here are blocked by the island of Isla Mujeres which lies just off shore. On the opposite side of the island from the Caribbean Sea is the Nichupté Lagoon, which is used for boating excursions and jet-ski jungle tours.
The fishing in Acapulco, particularly sailfish, is legendary. The snorkeling and Scuba diving here are first rate and there is nothing as exciting as jumping on a jet-ski and riding at full throttle across Acapulco Bay!
A stroll through the city to the impressive San Diego Fort or an afternoon at the Botanical Garden will satisfy all ages. For some excitement you can scuba dive or go deep sea fishing. If you're searching for a vacation spot that virtually guarantees flawless weather with incredible views, margarita sunsets and romantic breezes and if you're searching for total privacy and fully staffed accommodations, Acapulco is the right place. |
