Other two-week trip options include a briskly-paced tour featuring Chiapas and the Riviera Maya, an active adventure through Oaxaca, and a flavor-packed journey centered around southern Mexico's cuisine.

Five days is just enough time to enjoy the highlights of one region in Mexico. With a full week or 10 days, you can combine three or four areas to create an eclectic beach/city/culture/food tour. However, if you want to see the most of Mexico without having to rush, aim for two weeks or longer. No matter your timeframe, the below itineraries will help you plan that perfect Mexican getaway.

Best Time of Year to Visit Mexico
While the idea of a vacation to Mexico might immediately bring to mind hot, sunny weather and endless beaches, the climate here is actually quite diverse. You can experience not only the hot, humid temperatures we all tend to associate with Mexico travel, but also dry, clear days, tropical rainstorms, and maybe even some late-night freezes or snow.

Charlotte put together the itinerary for us perfectly. Not too much, not too little, but just the right amount of activities for our family of four. The activities and accommodations were aligned with the objectives and preferences we had in mind for the trip. We wanted to do things "off the beaten path," and that's what Charlotte delivered. Highlights included swimming in the cenote, Sian Ka'an boat tour (highly recommended), and snorkeling with sea turtles. The team also supported us during the trip and were quick to answer questions when they arose.
Worry-free, unique experience in Mexico!
