Myth 1: Mexico is unsafe.
Reality: Like any large country, Mexico has areas with varying levels of safety. Focusing on popular tourist destinations like the Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta, and Oaxaca offers incredible experiences with a strong emphasis on visitor security. We work closely with trusted local partners and resorts to ensure your safety and peace of mind. Plus, many all-inclusive resorts have extensive security measures in place.
Myth 2: You’ll get sick from the water and food.
Reality: While it’s wise to be cautious, many resorts and restaurants use purified water and adhere to high hygiene standards. Stick to bottled water outside of resorts and choose well-established dining options. And remember, street food can be a delicious adventure – just do your research and choose vendors with high turnover. We can provide you with a list of recommended restaurants and street food vendors.
Myth 3: Mexico is only about all-inclusive resorts.
Reality: While all-inclusive resorts offer fantastic value and relaxation, Mexico boasts a rich tapestry of experiences! Explore ancient Mayan ruins, dive into vibrant coral reefs, wander through colorful colonial towns, or immerse yourself in the local culture with cooking classes and artisan workshops. We can customize your trip to include unique adventures tailored to your interests.
Myth 4: You need to speak fluent Spanish.
Reality: While knowing a few basic phrases is helpful, English is widely spoken in tourist areas. Many resorts and tour operators have English-speaking staff. Plus, a smile and a willingness to try will go a long way!
Myth 5: Mexico is only a budget destination.
Reality: Mexico offers a wide range of travel options, from budget-friendly hostels and local eateries to luxurious villas and gourmet dining. Whether you’re seeking a cost-effective adventure or a high-end escape, we can find the perfect fit for your budget and travel style.
