Places to go in Mexico                                             go back

There are so many out of the way, yet fantastic, places in Mexico. This section is a travel guide for people who want to go to some places the lonely planet doesn't mention.

Safety: all the places mentioned are places I would feel perfectly safe to visit alone. And I would be very happy at all the camping spots with one other person.

Spanish: I have a reasonable level of spanish and have discovered that asking around is always a very good idea. Even if you can only say the name of the place you are going, ask a couple of people!

Weekends: Mexicans love to get away on the weekends so expect people and noise in even the most remote spot.

Xilitla, the surrealist garden, and the caves, waterfalls, and museums of the Huasteca region. (About seven hours from DF)
