Mexico

Honeymoon Destination: Itinerary Inspiration

About Mexico

With plenty of warm and sunny destinations to choose from, you're sure to find paradise in Mexico. If you're looking for a water wonderland, Cozumel is home to the second largest coral reef barrier in the world and the charming town of San Miguel. The Riviera Maya is another favorite with its jungle trails, ancient Mayan cities and exotic cuisine. A little further north is Cancun, known as Mexico's showcase. Here you'll find a mecca of shopping, nightlife and outdoor activities, from parasailing over Laguna Nichupte to scuba diving on Cozumel Island to lounging on all-inclusive white sand beaches.

Choose to explore the western side of Mexico and head to Puerto Vallarta, the jewel of the Mexican Riviera. Puerto Vallarta is a sun-drenched, colonial seaside town with access to the sought-after Bay of Banderas, upscale shops and exotic cuisine. Cabo San Lucas is another popular spot. Located in the Baja peninsula next to the richest body of water, Cabo San Lucas will offer you plenty of sun, surf, activities, nightlife and fresh Baja cuisine.
