Action-packed Family Holidays in Mexico

Action-packed Family Holidays in Mexico.jpg

Colourful, vibrant Mexico has miles and miles of idyllic beaches which, when mixed with incredible history brought to life by its vast pyramids, astonishing wildlife highlights and a whole host of active adventures, make it perfect for families of all ages.

Mexico is a big country, so depending on how old your children are, it is often best to decide on what interests you most before choosing where to visit. Also the time of year when you travel will also help determine if you head for the Caribbean or Pacific Coasts. With easy and direct access by air into both the capital and the Riviera Maya, you can even consider bringing your little ones here, as we can arrange for essential baby supplies to be available in your beachside accommodation and recommend the best properties and locations to suit everyone’s interests.

The Riviera Maya makes a wonderful choice if you don’t want to travel around too much, as little ones often get bored of long journeys. Base yourself in a beautiful beachfront setting, perhaps heading out to stunning ecoparks like Xcaret or Punta Venado for snorkelling and jungle exploration. Visit a local Mayan community, swim or snorkel in cenotes (underground sinkholes of sparkling blue water), explore secret caverns of stalagtites and stalagmites and Mayan pyramids at Tulum or Chichen Itza, explore the stunning Caribbean coastline by private catamaran or even snorkel with giant whale sharks.

You may think that the cultural side of Mexico from its ancient pre-colombian heritage to more recent colonial history may not be of as much interest to your children. However, the vivid (and somewhat bloodthirsty) history of the Mayans and Aztecs really appeals to older children and we can provide exactly the right guide to bring these fascinating civilisations to life for visitors of all ages. Explore the Mayan ruins of Coba by bike or climb the pyramids of Teotihuacan outside Mexico City after touring the city by Segway, a fun twist!

Active families with older children will love the Copper Canyon region for some hiking, 4x4 drives and even ziplining across the canyon combined perhaps with some time spent in Baja California, a brilliant destination for all water babies. Snorkel and kayak amongst colonies of sealions from Espiritu Santo Island in the Sea of Cortez. You could also head to a beautiful private beach camp for some of the world’s most spectacular encounters with gray whales as well as spending time at a sea turtle monitoring station.
