When you travel abroad the first you do is brush up on the local language to pick up the basics. A trip to Mexico booked through IBMT Tours will have travelers hear a familiar phrase all across the country, 'hola como estas?' It translates to hello, how are you when you meet the friendly local people of the country. Lots of fun awaits you when you make a date to travel to Mexico, the Mayan Riviera, beaches on the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, bullfights and traditional flamenco dancing are all part of the rich culture that is waiting for you when you take tours of Mexico. If you like history, Mexico has plenty of different sites to visit that date hundreds, if not thousands of years that can be seen and appreciated. While you are in Mexico, expect to put on some weight, because the cuisine is to die for and you will find yourself hungry all the time! Whether you are snacking on burritos or tacos during day trips or sit down to a full course meal, your appetite will be sated by the gastronomic delights that are at the heart of Mexican food.
When you heart this phrase in Mexico, it means to get up, get up, let's go, let's go to the many destinations that IBMT Tours will help you visit in the glorious country of Mexico. To kick-off your stay in Mexico, the first place you want to visit is the nation’s capital, Mexico City.
• The first thing to know about Mexico City sits at the highest altitude of any city in the country, nestled in the mountains. There are many places to visit like the historic centre of Mexico City – a huge plaza with lots of activity. If you want to see Mayan artifacts a trip to the Museo Nacional de Antropologia is in order. If art and culture are what will make your trip a lasting memory, a visit to Palacios de Bellas Artes is where the best of Mexican fine art is located. Mexico City is a world-class city that holds something for everybody, and every day you spend in the city will be a new adventure.
• When you visit Guadalajara you will see of the finest architecture that Mexico has to offer. Neo-Gothic architecture is on full display at the Templo Expiatorio del Santisimo, or a visit to 17th-century Catholic church and abbey at the Basilica of Our lady of Zapopan, or even a trip to the zoo at the Zoologico Guadalajara. Other attractions in ‘The Pearl of the Occident’ include Teatro Degollardo, the Palacio de Gobierno and the Cathedral. One stop that is sure to get your attention is the Tequila Village. Tequila is the national drink of the country and you can take a tour of a distillery to see the process and sample some of the finest Tequila made in Mexico.
• A visit to the Yucatan means that you will be staying in Cancun and it will be your jump off point for many different sites that reflect some of what Mexico has to offer the traveler and the education will be will illuminating. Merida is known as the ‘White City’ because the colonial buildings are all white in colour to reflect the period when they were built. Stops include Zolcalo, the Government Palace and Franciso Montejo’s House. Mayan history is one of the big draws when you take the time to see Ekbalam and Coba. Both sites hold enchanting visual displays of Mayan culture and in Coba, you can visit the tallest Mayan pyramids of Mexico, the ‘Nohoch Mul.’
• Traveling from Cancun, you will arrive at Bacalar and visit the famous Bacalar Lagoon. It is also known as the ‘Lagoon of Seven Colours.’ When the sun shines on the lagoon, it reflects several colours, predominantly turquoise and jade. A Mayan jungle surrounds the lagoon and the Bec River that envelope the Chicanna archeological site – the translation is the ‘House of the Serpent’s Mouth.’ The site – discovered in 1967 – is famous for the masks of animals that adorn the doors and is unforgettable. At the Structure II site, you can see a zoomorphic mask that depicts the God of the Sun, Itzamna.
