Holidays and festivals

When planning a vacation, one part of tourists usually hunts for advantageous offers, the other is studying a list of interesting activities and events taking place in the country. What unites them is the desire to relax in such a way that only positive memories remain. Excursions, shopping or lazing on the beach - that's not all! Fortunately, in Mexico there is always something to diversify your leisure time.

Dias de los Muertos. The name of the most popular Mexican festival translates as “Day of the Dead.” Latin Americans celebrate the annual holiday in memory of the dead in early November on a traditional scale, throwing a feast with music and dancing.

In the mountainous regions in the north of the country for winter months snow falls.

In addition, the period is ideal for bird watching, of which there is a great variety in these parts.

With the resumption of direct charter flights from Russia last year, Mexico has become a tourist hit. Correspondents of the ATOR Bulletin visited this country and prepared practical recommendations from personal experience, which will be useful to you when choosing a tour, hotel, excursions and shopping in Mexico.

WHICH SEA RESORT IN MEXICO TO CHOOSE?

In our review we will talk about holidays in the seaside resorts of Mexico Atlantic coast- Cancun and Riviera Maya. Russian tour operators are selling tours today only with arrival in Cancun.

Most of the most modern Mexican resorts are located here, on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico (Yucatan Peninsula). The main contingent of vacationers in Cancun are tourists from the United States (62% of all tourists flying to Cancun). For residents of this country, Cancun and nearby resorts such as the Riviera Maya are about the same as Turkish Antalya for Russians: close, short flights, all-inclusive hotels and excellent beaches.

An advantage of the Atlantic resorts of Mexico for our tourists can be considered, and without exaggeration, a luxurious entertainment infrastructure for active tourism.

It is really white (the color of high-quality book paper), and the consistency here is more like fine flour or soft powder.

For example, such giants as Moon Palace Cancun 5* - this is 6 thousand rooms (however, thanks to the huge green area with several buildings, crowds are not visible here at all, even when fully loaded). In quality fives and even fours there is also evening animation (quite incendiary).

In both Cancun and the Riviera Maya you can find both vibrant and large city hotels in the center of nightlife, as well as quieter and more comfortable boutique hotels with a high level of service.

- TOP list the most popular hotels in Mexico among Russians which ANEX Tour recommends for different categories of tourists in 2019, .

- Hotels in Mexico only have 110 volt outlets with three flat connectors, and To charge electronics you will need an adapter. In a number of hotels it is issued free of charge at the reception desk; the main thing is to hand it in upon check-out. Other hotels sell adapters - from 8 to 12 dollars. Often in 5* hotels in sockets or bedside “smart alarm clocks” iHomethere are entrances USB - this way you can also charge some equipment, but it will take a long time.

- Even in hotels high level in Cancun and Riviera Maya no heated towel rails. In the Mediterranean this is not a problem. But in Mexico your things are on the balcony won't dry out overnight- even in winter there is very high humidity here. Therefore it is necessary stock up on several swim kits.

Considering by no means low prices for vouchers, we strongly advise you to choose 5* and 4* hotels and be sure to - All inclusive meal plan. Tours with breakfast or without meals will, to be honest, simply not economically viable. Mexico is not a cheap country at all; prices in tourist places here are designed for wealthy Americans.

Therefore, eating in the city here, firstly, will have to be at quite Moscow prices (this is not Turkey at all, and especially not Southeast Asia). And secondly, it is not possible to reach urban infrastructure everywhere. From some hotels, the nearest cafe can only be reached by taxi for 40-50 US dollars one way.

WHAT IS ALL INCLUSIVE IN MEXICO

Another reason to choose the Mexican all-inclusive concept is its richness and completeness. That's where the all-inclusive truly includes everything - it's in Mexico, and it's definitely worth trying for yourself.

In many good fives In Mexico, not only is it free to eat in 5-10 hotel restaurants to choose from (both buffet and à la carte) and use the infrastructure, but also 24-hour room service. Each hotel has its own “tricks” in the concept, often different for different categories of rooms - from a pillow menu where you can order aroma or water pillows, to your own dedicated area on the beach or a cigar club.

Often the all-inclusive concept in such hotels implies unlimited or by reservation meals in a-la-carte restaurants. Thus, during the holiday a tourist can try Mexican, French, Italian, Lebanese, and Japanese cuisine- and according to the menu (as a rule, without restrictions) and of the highest quality.

The menu of all-inclusive restaurants in the good fives of Mexico will amaze anyone: designed for wealthy guests from the USA, it contains seafood, lobsters, marbled beef, and freshly squeezed juices. Often (but not all and not always) - famous brands alcoholic drinks international brands (however, even without them, Mexico has its own high-quality and expensive drinks).

In addition to the photo at the top of the section, here are a few more photos from the Swedish line of The Grand at Moon Palace Cancun 5* hotel, which our correspondent visited:

Tips and life hacks for tourists:

- Don’t be afraid of “spicy food” in Mexico. The buffet menu in hotels is completely “European”, there are no peppered or generally spicy dishes there. Even in Mexican restaurants in hotels, the dishes themselves are not spicy at all - they are only served with hot sauces.

- “All inclusive” in most hotels means a buffet only for breakfast. Lunches and dinners are usually - in restaurants a - la - card or to choose from .

- In most high-level hotels you are entitled to waiters at the pool and on the beach- you won’t have to go to the beach bar yourself at all. The TOP list of the most popular and recommended ANEX Tour hotels in Mexico can be found

IS IT WORTH GOING TO MEXICO WITH CHILDREN?

Yes. Moreover, you can and should go to Mexico with children. This is a better and more interesting beach and animation holiday than, for example, in Turkey.

Tips and life hacks for tourists:

- You can choose which hotels are suitable for families with children by viewing.

- In all Mexico There is children's table and special children's menu . And these are not hamburgers and fries. However, as mentioned above, regular food in hotels in Mexico is always of high quality, varied and not spicy.

- Many hotels in Mexico can accommodate not only turtles, but also noses, agouti, from which children are delighted, but also (in some hotels) crocodiles. But they are not dangerous and avoid people, living in their lagoons. And a number of hotels have their own dolphinariums- right on the premises.

THINGS TO DO OUTSIDE THE HOTEL IN MEXICO: SHOPPING

First, go out into the city (if your hotel is located near the city infrastructure) or take a taxi to it. Depending on the distance of the hotel, taxi fares will cost from 10 to 40 dollars per car.

In Mexico, in addition to visiting local bars and restaurants, there is interesting shopping. Among the edible foods and drinks, you can buy home real (and very tasty) cocoa, good grain and ground coffee (we recommend coffee from the state of Veracruz), and, of course, local brands of tequila, mezcal and rum. If it's not a supermarket, they might let you taste them.

By the way, the Mexicans themselves drink milk whipped in a blender with pieces of special chocolate - such portioned chocolate is sold, for example, in the cocoa museum in Chichen Itza. We advise you to buy - it's much tastier than cocoa. Another souvenir that you can buy there is chewing gum from Zapato juice. Yes, be sure to take home the local seasoning Gusano - it is salt mixed with chili pepper and crushed dried maguey caterpillars - it is very tasty, believe me. Sold everywhere.

The “souvenirs” here are very diverse - however, the famous skulls immediately catch your eye different types and other symbolism of the “Day of the Dead,” a popular holiday in Mexico. But almost all souvenir products in tourist places - - stamped Chinese.

Tips and life hacks for tourists:

- By icon $ in Mexico it is not the US dollar. And the local currency is pesos. Some tourists are shocked when they see a $39 fee on an ATM screen, $210 on a restaurant menu for a plate of pasta with seafood, and a $12 bottle of water in a store. Calm down - it's just pesos. And US dollars everywhere in Mexico are written asUSD .

- Cigarettes in Mexico very expensive(at least 10-11 dollars per pack), in addition, you can’t buy them everywhere, especially if your hotel is remote from the retail infrastructure. We strongly recommend stocking up on them before your trip. You can bring 1 carton of cigarettes into Mexico.

- You can take out in luggage from Mexico (not including goods from Duty Free) no more than 3 liters of alcohol per suitcase. Important: if there is one suitcase for two tourists, the rule still valid for 1 suitcase, and not for 1 person. It is useless to prove to customs that there are bottles for two in this suitcase, even if you are husband and wife.

- In Mexico, in markets and supermarkets you can buy exotic and unusual tropical fruits, it is impossible to take them out of the country(like, by the way, the shells found on the beach) - all suitcases are see-through and the “banned” is selected.

It's definitely worth a ride around.

To be here and not see the mysterious Mayan pyramids in Cob, Tulum, Ek Balan, not ride over the jungle and karst lakes on ziplines in the Xel-Ha and Xplore parks, not swim with a child, not take photos on the Pink Lakes, not swim with dolphins - it's simply not interesting.

It would be a remiss not to visit the Cancun Cirque du Soleil (it is not touring here, but local, and is very popular among tourists).

But be prepared to spend a significant amount on excursions. There are no “$50” excursions in Mexico; they are of a completely different format and intensity than in Europe, and the prices are designed for Americans.

By the way, you shouldn’t buy “on the street” or online excursions in Mexico: there will be no free wi-fi, no Russian-speaking guide, and there will be completely different food and service.

Tips and lifehacks for tourists

- In ANEX Tour tourist buses, which serve excursion groups, there is a free one Wi - Fi .
