Feeling that Cancun fatigue lately, are you? We’re big Mexican Caribbean enthusiasts ourselves, and come the start of the year there’s nothing we love more than booking an all‑inclusive Hotel Zone getaway, with poolside mimosas and buffet‑style feasts galore… But sometimes, you just crave something a little more enriching than another do‑nothing vacay, or at …

When people think of a Mexico getaway, the first thing that pops to mind is perhaps Cancun’s luxurious five-star resorts and turquoise seas, Puerto Vallarta’s romantic Historic Center and scenic boardwalk, or maybe the buzzing streets and lively markets of CDMX.

Morelia probably isn’t the first destination that comes to mind when you think of Mexico, especially with Cancun’s world-famous turquoise waters and luxury resorts, or Mexico City’s ornate architecture and ancient pyramids.
