Hi all, I am having a 9 hr layover next month on Benito Juarez airport. I have never travelled to any South American countries. I will have a carryon bag with me. Can someone please help ?Things I would like some help are below

• transportation (any uber/ swift like apps? Or should I use local taxis?)

• where can I safely keep my carryon bag so that I don’t want to carry that around?

• language: I don’t know Spanish and I am an international student in US. How difficult to travel? Is google translate enough to travel?

-Cash/card: I have a travel credit card but will I be charged extra? Do I need to get cash for expenses in Mexico

• Any must see place and restaurants I can visit during this small window?

If anyone can give some insight, much appreciated 😊

Hi everyone, i am going to get married in Vegas in November and am coming to Mexico afterwards for my Honeymoon.

We will be flying into Cancun and my future wife and i are both not the historical and sightseeing people and rather like to chill and relax. We both LOVE eating though.

I am trying to get a good mix of food, culture and chilling at the beach without going to any of the typical american all inclusive places.

We also don't want to end up travelling half of the time therefore our tour will be quite "small"

Plan is following:

Land in Cancun 28.11 in the morning and take an ADO to Valladolid

28.11-02.12 - Valladolid

02.12-06.12 - Merida

05.12 - 13.12 - Holbox -> back to Cancun on the last day to fly out

My question is:

• Am i missing something crucial?
• Is there something you would say is a MUST to go to in that region?
• What would you do different?
• Overall recommendations and tips are also very welcome!!

I am thankful for anyone giving me feedback on this one as i am quite unsure and have nothing booked yet.

Hi all,

We’re visiting Mexico for vacation for the first time (Tulum and Cancun). We have a 2 year old baby and we would need to buy milk for her since she does drink a lot of milk.

Can anyone suggest what the popular safe pasteurized milk brands in Mexico are? We won’t have a way to boil it since the hotel room doesn’t have a stove. So just want to make sure we get something similar to what we have in the US where we can consume it straight out of the Tetra Pak.

Please suggest the popular and safe pasteurized milk brands in Mexico that we can give to our baby directly without having to boil.

Hey everyone! I’m planning a trip to Mexico in 15th Dec-4th Jan and would love some tips on things to do/places to eat and see etc!

Route is Mexico City -> Oaxaca -> Sayulita but open to options and detours

Thanks!

Going to Cabo for my 30th & my resort choice are Riu Palace Baja California or Breathless Cabo. I really want a party vibe, all inclusive of course. Would like a resort that has decent food, good drinks, immaculate ambiance & entertainment. I love anything water activity related and anything adventurous i.e zip lining, atv, camel rides, etc etc.

Which resort would you recommend? Also wouldn’t mind excursion recommendations also!

Hello everyone ! I’m going to Mexico in December and wanted to visit Sayulita. I prefer not to take any flight and wanted to know if it’s possible to go by bus from Mexico City ? Thanks in advance !

My wife and I, both retired, would like to identify a Spanish language immersion program in Mexico. My wife is a solid intermediate speaker, and I am a beginner. We would prefer a something like a family stay, or a residence where we can have a full experience. Ideally we want to be in a location with a temperate climate. For example, Mexico City, Puebla or Oaxaca. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My wife has attended Latin American immersion programs in the past. I only have rudiments of spanish learned in college years ago.

Does anyone know current threat/cases of Zika in Cancun? Returned form a trip recently to find out out I’m 5 weeks pregnant. I did get bitten at a cenote and now worried I may have contracted Zika.

Also in 2 minds about getting tested as apparently yellow fever vaccination can give false positives.

Hello, I’m visiting Tulum during Christmas with my parents (65/70) and my siblings (30ish). We’ve never been to the Yucatan region before but like chilled, more authentic experiences when it comes to holidays. My parents want a nice beach experience mixed with nature.

Tulum seems really developed but with beautiful beaches so we have some doubts - but wanted to ask if people had first hand experience being there, how it felt, was it chilled? Completely crowded? Overly gentrified? Or bliss? We’re planning on staying in an Airbnb in town. Does it feel safe? We’re planning on being there for about 5 days

.If you have more suited recommendations of beach towns or think Tulum is perfect for our kind of holiday - please share!! Thanks in advance 💕

Como dice el titulo, me recomiendan hacer 2 noches en San Miguel de Allende o 1 ahí y otra en Queretaro?

Voy en plan familiar

Soy brasileño y estaré en la Ciudad de México este sábado 18 de mayo. Como soy un gran aficionado al fútbol me gustaría ver el partido entre América y Guadalajara en el Estadio Azteca. Sin embargo, me preocupa la seguridad, ya que no conozco la historia entre los dos aficionados ni el estadio. Por eso me gustaría pedirles consejos de seguridad y algunas precauciones que debo tomar para poder ver el partido tranquilamente. ¡Gracias!

In Mexico, Iluma is now up for grabs, and it comes with a price tag much cheaper than in numerous other countries. Plus, save yourself the hassle of carrying your terea – you'll find it readily available at every OXXO.

Hi! I know similar questions have been asked many times, but I didn't get the answers to my questions on those posts...

I am spending a week with my girlfriend in Playa del Carmen at a resort and I am unsure how much money to bring. Food and lodging is already covered, but we are planning on doing excursions and exploring around town.

I was thinking of brining about $150USD and 2500MXN each (total of 300USD and 5000MXN). Is that enough or is it too much? We were planning on visiting Chichen Itza and some cenotes. I am not planning on buying things like t shirts or souvenirs...

Our travel agent has suggested to bring only USD, but after reading all the other posts this is obviously bad advice.

Thanks in advance !

Si pudieran que elegir una ciudad para conocer, cual sería y por qué?

My wife and I are planning to visit a college friend in Mexico City in late August/early September. We'd like to go on from there to a Beach resort for a few days before returning home. We usually fly Delta for the long flights. Any suggestions on where to go and who to travel with from Mexico City?

I live in Europe. I have a Mexican friend, from Guadalajara. He tells me that 'everyone' (both Mexicans and foreigners) likes Guadalajara, except him. I asked him why, and he replied:

"I think there are other parts of Mexico that are more colorful and have a stronger, more interesting and friendly character than my city, so I don't understand where the obsession with my city comes from. If I wanted to experience a more interesting and authentic version of Mexico, I would go through Oaxaca, for example."

What is he referring to? Keep in mind that I have never been to Mexico and I do not know that country, so please be patient and explain to me step by step. Also, keep in mind he has some Oaxacan ancestry so I suspect he may be biased, but I am unsure about that.

i’m traveling from NYC to Cancún Mexico in a day. I found out vapes are illegal an hour ago! I heard to bring it in a carry on bag in a toiletry bag but it’s a disposable vape and it’s in its original packaging unopened but because of that u can clearly tell it’s a vape, should i keep it like that and just hide it under makeup brushes, phone chargers, and tampons? should i even bring it? this is my first time flying out of the country in years so i kinda forget how things go with an airport. will the mexican airport check my carry on bag again after i get to cancún? some people said to put the vape in your pocket once u land but i don’t see how that works if you walk through a metal detector? anyone who has brought one please give advice! i’m going to an all inclusive resort so i know i’ll be fine once i’m there but i do not want to get fined at the airport. how do i know if they wanna check my bag some people are saying “red light” but red light on what and when? and i do not plan on bringing it back to the US after my trip, im just worried to bring it to México. and i hate cigarettes, how ironic.

If $30 US Dollars is worth $505 MXN What can you actually purchase? A drink? Pair of shoes? Night in a nice hotel??

I'm looking to book a trip in early May to Riviera Maya but I've been hearing some safety concerns with traveling in that area. Can someone give me some insight if they've traveled there recently?

I travel to Mexico tomorrow, I’m english and have never visited any of the americas let alone Mexico. I have two questions:

1. What would happen if I brought my vape with me? I’ve seen a lot of conflicting info online and I’m a bit confused really.

2. What is the standard practice for tipping in Mexico? We don’t tend to tip here in the UK so I want to make sure I tip properly when necessary.

Thanks :)
