Mexico Best Family Vacation

Mexico – best family vacation, like no other. I love Mexico! I’m sure it’s great to travel there as a single person but it’s unbeatable as a family vacation. There is something for everyone. There are cultural festivals, markets for artisans, bull fights, sporting events, archeological sits, Spanish immersion school, humanitarian opportunities, eco-tours, and, of course, the beach.

Beach

For young children you can’t beat the beach. With such a wide range of resorts as well as locations off the beaten path you are sure to find something that fits your budget and your sense of adventure. The water is consistently warm, unlike the beaches in the USA. It’s a great introduction to the ocean for small children especially since most major beaches are in the confines of a bay. Thus the waves are small and risk of rip tides or other water dangers are minimal.

Study Spanish

If you have a desire to study Spanish there are great immersion schools in some wonderful locations throughout the country. You can spend a week or more with native speakers who will guide you through grammer rules and, most importantly, get you speaking.

Monarch Butterfly Reserves

Most people don’t know that the annual migration of monarch butterflies ends in a beautiful canyon in Mexico. There are special butterfly reserves so that these magnificent creatures can spend the winter in peace as they prepare to mate in the spring. It’s something you can only see in your Mexico best family vacation. To see it through the eyes of your children is an entirely new experience as well.

Culture and Serving

Mexicans love their fiestas! Cultural and religious events are a regular part of life in Mexico. If you are able to plan your family vacation around a major holiday, like Day of the Dead, you and your family will be astonished at the wide range and depth of traditions that make up Mexican culture.

If you’d like to have the experience of serving families in Mexico, opportunities abound. Not only are several rural areas in need of assistance to build schools and basic infrastructure, for instance, but even if you want to stay close to the cities you can find ways to help in one of the many orphanages.

Mexico is home to an abundance of archeological sites. Great cities of the past are being discovered all the time. Ancient pyramids and Aztec temples as well as more modern cathedrals, castles and nunneries are open to the public to climb, learn and explore. Many of the sites now house extensive museums and visitors centers with English speaking guides.

Downtown Mercado

If you love unique artisan markets you’ll find one in most major cities. Most towns are known for some kind of unique technique or material the people use. For instance Taxco is known for its silver and places closer to Cuernavaca for their work in clay. You can visit markets in the cities or just stop in a small town and discover some wonderful treasure.

Food Futbol

Mexican food goes way beyond tacos and burritos. Did you know that in the city of Oaxaca the streets smell of chocolate? Can I say Mexico great family vacation? What family wouldn’t enjoy a day exploring there? Chocolate is made into drinks and candies but also savory soups, marinades, and moles. You’ll never think of chocolate in the same way again.

Sporting events are a big draw for communities in Mexico. Most towns and all the major cities have their own soccer team. Loyalties run deep. The facilities are generally well maintained and accommodating. If you are a sports fan, attending a Mexican futbol (soccer) game will give you a new perspective on what it means to be an “avid fan.” It’s an outing the Mexicans share as a family and one you should consider as well.

As you consider your next family vacation I encourage you to explore the many unique and exciting options available in Mexico. Mexico best family vacation is a paradise where you can relax, explore, learn and grow as a family. It’s a vacation you’ll never forget. I can bet as your children think back they’ll say when asked which was your best family vacation? Mexico best family vacation hands down.
