Palm-fringed beaches, chili-spiced cuisine, steamy jungles, teeming cities, fiesta fireworks, Frida's creativity: Mexico conjures up diverse, vivid dreams. And the reality lives up to them.
Writer Anna Kaminski tells us why she loves Mexico. "
I first set foot in Mexico as a teenager, was beguiled by its ancient civilizations at university, and have now spent half of my life traversing the country on numerous trips. Having explored Mexico's cities, coasts, ruins and mountains, having surfed the couches of a motley crew of locals and experts - from a gangster in Tijuana to a Vietnam veteran painter in San Miguel de Allende - and having tasted Mexico's incredible food, from eyeball tacos and mondongo (tripe stew) to Michelin-starred set menus, I am still firmly in love with Mexico's remarkable diversity and its people."
Lonely Planet’s Mexico has the most relevant, up-to-date advice on what to see and skip, and what hidden discoveries await you. Gather all your senses and dive head-first into the ancient Maya world at exquisite Palenque; sample the freshest local specialities from street food stalls and innovative restaurants; and soak in the colours of Oaxaca City’s fiestas, architecture, and arts scene.
Peerless Palenque is Lonely Planet's
#1 Top Pick on the list of things to do.
