Mexico is far more than a beach holiday. Mexico City has some of the best restaurants and museums in the Americas, Oaxaca and San Miguel de Allende are colourful colonial towns, and the Yucatán is full of cenotes, haciendas and Maya ruins.
On the coasts you can choose the Caribbean calm of the Riviera Maya or the desert-meets-ocean drama of Los Cabos, where whales pass by in winter.
