There’s a reason why the dreamers of this world constantly flock ‘South of the border’ to Mexico. It’s a place where the ultimate bohemian lifestyle is not only possible but expected. Try to envision the colors, the mystery and the passionate emotions of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera’s work to begin painting your own canvas of Mexico. Without a doubt, beautiful beaches are Mexico’s monopoly but there’s a lot more to indulge in – from a rich Mayan history to art, culture and a seriously hip night scene that only a city like Mexico City can offer. Not to mention of course, the food.
For city lovers, Mexico City has been experiencing a rebirth of sorts, rising up to become one of the hottest destinations in Central America and as the locals say, como Mexico no hay dos -Mexico is second to none. For those seeking a more ‘ancient’ experience – or those who follow the Mayan calendar and believe the world will end come 2012 – the Mayan ruins scattered across Mexico tell the tale of an ancient land and people that will surely enrapture visitors of all kinds.
But if it’s the beaches you are in search of, forget Cancun and Cozumel and head to Los Cabos, which popular culture has made a mandatory stop for the wandering traveler. Like a siren’s call, artists, musicians and the gypsy jet setters regularly spend time here to soak up the sun, take in the music (yes, the mariachi bands are still here) and indulge in some authentic Mexican cuisine. And a note to the gastronomes out there – expect to indulge in Mexican food like you’ve never had it before. Sure, guacamole will never taste the same again, but the culinary repertoire of this hot-as-peppers country extends far beyond the taco-tamale-chimichanga menu and is not to be missed.
