If you’ve never been to Mexico, now’s the time.
If you live in the states, it’s relatively close, and there are many ways to reach your final destination. Listed below is a sampling of how you can arrive to this sunny country of perennially happy and friendly people.
Air transportation
Arriving by air is the fastest method of traveling to Mexico unless you happen to live along the U.S. border. It also opens up the market for those who are traveling outside the states. Since Mexico is a fairly large country, it’s serviced by a number of airports. The largest is Mexico City’s International Airport (MEX). In fact, it’s the biggest airport in all of Latin America. From here, you can catch connecting flights to just about anywhere in Mexico. The airport is conveniently located just less than 10 miles from the city. You can either take a taxi, bus or one of the trains to reach the city.
If traveling to the Mexican Caribbean, there’s no better place than Cancun International Airport (CUN) to fly into. In fact, if you’re flying from New York, it takes only around four hours to reach your destination. The airport is located less than 15 miles from town, and there are plenty of buses and taxis to get you there. But if planning a vacation on the other side of the country, consider flying into the airport just outside Acapulco (ACA). Located within an easy 30-minute drive from the city, it’s an extremely convenient airport for any stay around Acapulco. One other airport not to forget about is in Guadalajara, which is a great central point of departure for travel throughout central Mexico.
By cruise ship
Mexico is one of the most popular destinations for cruise travel. With ports up and down Baja California, the Pacific Coast and along the Mexican Caribbean, you’ll have your choice of destinations. Ports such as in Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas or Acapulco are just a taste of the line-up of five-star destinations.
By land
Driving from the Southern United States into Mexico is definitely an option. Key entry points are Mexicali (right near San Diego), El Paso, Nogalas (Arizona) and Brownsville, Texas. Just make sure you purchase separate car insurance for Mexico, as your normal coverage won’t apply. |
