The Best Mexico Vacation Cities for Your Next Getaway
Living in Southern California has lots of perks. And one of them is how easily accessible Mexico is to me. I can find cheap fares from the Tijuana airport and take direct flights to many of the best Mexico vacation cities that the country offers. Sunshine, culture, incredible food, and some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet are just some of the best parts of a Mexico getaway. Oh, and margaritas! This is a country where you can lounge on turquoise beaches one day, wander ancient ruins the next, and finish your night with street tacos that will ruin you (in the best way) for tacos back home.

Chichen Itza Tours: Cruise Excursion
If you book at Mexico or Western Caribbean, there is a decent chance you will also be able to book one of the Chichen Itza tours as a shore excursion. But if you’re like me, sometimes the number of shore excursions can be overwhelming. I’m never sure which to pick or if I even want to book an excursion. When we went to Progreso, Mexico, however, I knew I wanted to take the opportunity to visit Chichen Itza. We had been to a few different popular Mayan ruins sites in the past, but Chichen Itza was one place we still hadn’t visited. Chichen Itza is the most famous, and therefore…

Here are some of the most popular ruins you can visit in Mexico, along with information about what to expect and how to access them. And for more information about using the CBX to fly out of Tijuana,…

Hotel Villa del Palmar: A Puerto Vallarta Family Resort
When people think of spring break in Mexico, a family vacation might not be the first thing that comes to mind. That’s why I spent a lot of time looking at various Puerto Vallarta family resorts that would provide fun for the whole family. I was specifically looking at all-inclusive resorts, but with a family of five, that severely limited us. I was stoked when I came across the Hotel Villa del Palmar Puerto Vallarta. Because we live in San Diego, we decided to fly out of Tijuana for the first time. We took the CBX across the border, and it was so easy. From TJ, we flew direct to…

This beautiful island off Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is known for its turquoise waters, incredible snorkeling, and welcoming atmosphere.
