Small City Hidden Gems
There are huge cities in Mexico with all sorts of life and culture. The smaller areas of Mexico can be just as breathtaking, especially with beach views. Take the city of San Miguel De Allende, a haven for expats, but don’t let that deter you from visiting these smaller areas of Mexico. There may not be the nightlife or the busyness of places like Mexico City, but these small areas offer such a great place for travelers to get to know the Mexican way of life. Whether it's a hidden gem quaint restaurant, fresh margarita, or must-see walking path, it's worth the stop.
Stunning Beaches Galore
Now, let's return to those beautiful beach views and margaritas mentioned. Several areas of Mexico have breathtaking beaches and then some. Not to mention, Tulum offers some incredibly spectacular views and fun in the sun. With just under a 50,000 population, this can be an excellent area for some much-deserved quiet beach time compared to a much larger size in Cancun. After all, a moment of relaxation is well deserved!
If all of this hasn't convinced you to go to Mexico, maybe, consider the Baja peninsula. We're confident it will. Baja is like a country within a country. Yes, that may be confusing, but stick with us, promise we're onto something here. The peninsula is separated by the gulf of California and touches the Pacific Ocean. This is where you can see some incredible out-of-this-world beaches. It's like nothing you've seen before. Surrounded by water, the land is detached from most of mainland Mexico, but it still holds on to its rich Mexican culture.

The country is begging to stimulate your taste buds, from tacos to tamales. Name something better than that. You have no shortage of things you'd expect and some unexpected. Need an example? We're happy to share one. Probably something people wouldn't expect in Mexico is there is a lot of wine. There are vineyards to do wine tastings and see the country.
