Los Cabos
Los Cabos is possibly one of the most popular destinations for American tourists who want to have some fun under the sun. Its unique geography, which allows the sea and desert meet, is its primary draw. Being one of the sunniest places in the world also helped make it a popular getaway over the years.
With a 20-mile Resort Corridor, you definitely won’t run out of things to do, explore, and enjoy in Los Cabos. You might even bump into vacationing celebs as stars like Reese Witherspoon, George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Christian Bale, and Jessica Alba have been spotted here.
Travel experts recommend scheduling your visit from May to June. The winter vacationers will already be out of your hair around this time and the summer showers won’t fall yet. You can also go during late winter to early spring, but expect the winter crowd.
What to Do Here:
- Enjoy the breathtaking scenery
- Surf and try out various watersports
- Eat lots of seafood
- Explore the local art scene
- Go scuba diving and snorkelling
- Enjoy various outdoor adventures
- Golf
Puerto Vallarta
Featuring miles of green turquoise seawater, Puerto Vallarta is a major beach resort city in Mexico. It was once a bustling fishing town with a rich cultural history. Everything changed when Hollywood stars Ava Gardner, Richard Burton, and Elizabeth Taylor filmed “The Night of the Iguana” in the area.
They brought the paparazzi and then the investors came next. Tourism became one of its biggest source of income soon enough, making it the international beach destination that it is today.
When should you visit? December to April are the busiest months with winter vacationers looking for warmth. May to June is the perfect time for a visit because there are fewer tourists in the area.
What to Do Here:
- Go on a yacht tour
- Enjoy the local delicacies
- Explore
- Try their many fine dining options
- Discover the local art scene
Riviera Maya
Last but not the least, the Riviera Maya offers a beautiful spot on the Caribbean coast. This resort district is not just packed with beautiful beaches and natural wonders but it’s also brimming with culture and history. So aside from spending some time under the sun, you can also get to know about Mayan history on your visit.
The best time to schedule your trip would be during their dry season (November to February). You can still visit during the months of March to May, but be warned that it will be very hot and humid during this time.
What to Do Here:
- Explore the beautiful cenotes (water caves)
- Learn about the local culture, history, and biodiversity
- Enjoy the nightlife
- Go scuba diving and snorkelling
