Hey Mark, I guess I feel very positive about Mexico! Not sure though as I’ve traveled in Mexico only from Sept – Jan.

I’ve been to other countries like Guatemala during the rainy season and still had many fantastic travel days there. You just have to be a bit flexible with your plans as some days are better for staying inside and reading a book

The Guererro stats are so high because of Acapulco city. But your point is well taken and anyone should assess the situation. (I’ll add a note.)

However, you are recommending Zihuatanejo which is in Guerrero… That is one of the most dangerous states of Mexico. Go anywhere outside of those states in the middle Pacific coast.

Fantastic! Thanks for the reply Marek 🙂 Do you have any other advice for the rest of our trip or any itinerary we should look at?

Thanks again

Hey Samuel. That sounds like a neat plan actually. It’s certainly nice to start with plenty of time in Mexico City / Oaxaca. Your route seems cool – I did something roughly similar on my second trip through Mexico (which also included a trip to Cuba).

Firstly, thanks so much for all of this information!
My partner and I are travelling Mexico for about 3 weeks in June. We have 3 and a half months total travelling all through central america and finishing by sailing from panama to colombia!

I was wondering if you could give me some good ideas or itinerary for our Mexico part of our adventure as it is our first stop so we kind of need to have it planned. Especially because we are making a little side stop in Havana and will be flying there and back from Cancun, so we need to have those tickets booked before we get there in order for visas! Which makes timing in each place fairly crucial!

My rough idea was land in Mexico City (4 days) Oaxaca (3 days) San Cristo (2 days) Palenque (2 days) Palenque to Campeche (1 day) and Campeche to Playa Del Carmen (3 days) and in that area we could see chitchen iza and cancun etc, before flying to Havana for a few nights and then returning to Cancun.. From there I was thinking to go down to Coast and spend about 4 days in Tulum before entering into Belize and on we go!

Sorry if that is confusing, I hope it makes sense! I would love to see what you think or have any ideas at all on that!? Researching this part of the trip is making me crazy!

Thanks !
