We all know (and love) Mexico for its paradisaical Caribbean coast and with world-class resorts with the kind of five-star amenities you’d think would only be reserved for the elites, but lately, we’ve been craving more. Don’t get us wrong, we’re definitely not ones to think we’re too intellectual, and above everyone else to look down …

Let’s be honest: your Instagram feed has seen enough of Tulum. We all know the drill by now—$25 cocktails, traffic jams in the jungle, and a “spiritual” vibe that feels a lot like a marketing campaign. Mexico is massive, yet 90% of American tourists squeeze into the same three airports. But for the traveler willing …

Be it for the delicious cuisine, the breathtaking nature, or the colonial landmarks, it’s no secret that Latin America is the go-to destination for millions of Americans. Navigating the nether half of the continent isn’t always the easiest task, though: safety levels can vary drastically between different destinations. Some are very safe, if not safer …

Everyone knows and (arguably) loves the Mexican Caribbean for its all-inclusive hotels, tropical vibes, and year-round great weather, but have you, by any chance, caught wind of this so-called Cancun fatigue lately? As we touched on previously, Mexico’s busiest string of resorts is sort of losing its luster, now that everyone’s been, and tourists are not really …

Forget San Miguel de Allende. This winter, travelers are trading the crowded cobblestones for a misty mountain town that feels more like Europe than Mexico. Mexico is famous for its colonial magic, but there is one historic gem that remains criminally overlooked. It isn’t just another Spanish colonial town—it is a bizarre and beautiful historical …

If you typically plan your trips around immersive cultural experiences, and you’re a History aficionado, chances are you’re already making plans to cross the pond—again—this winter, no matter how gray and awfully-cold Europe may be at the minute. Hold your horses. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to embark on a Transatlantic journey to …

Forget Cancun and its glitzy (but jam-packed) Hotel Zone, Puerto Vallarta and its infamous party scene, and Los Cabos’ golden-sand beaches and luxurious resorts: The best beach destination in Mexico this year, as elected by voters of the Food and Travel Reader Awards, is none other than Puerto Escondido. As the name suggests, a true …

Forget Cancun’s jam-packed Hotel Zone, Puerto Vallarta’s riotous nightlife, and even Cabo’s rapidly polished-up beachfront. There is a fourth coastal spot trending in Mexico at the moment, and if you happen to be hunting for fewer crowds and prices that won’t break the bank, this might just be your ticket. The often-overlooked capital of the …

Much like crystal-clear seas are the main draw for beach bums heading to Mexico, colonial cities are the sweet spot for culture enthusiasts. We’re sure you’ve heard of Mexico City and its vibrant neighborhoods, Merida with the soaring, stone-built cathedral, Oaxaca and its cobblestone streets, and of course, San Miguel de Allende, famous for colorful …

Landing in Cancun this winter? Expect to see a massive show of force. Authorities have deployed 7,000 troops to the Riviera Maya—here is how it affects your vacation. We at Travel Off Path have been tracking this for a while, especially after 400 new police officers with body cameras were added to Cancun’s force earlier …

If you’re already on a first-name basis with Cancun, Cabo, and Puerto Vallarta, this one’s for you. At Travel Off Path, we wanted to build a 2026 Mexico list that actually feels fresh… places that still stop you in your tracks and haven’t been completely overrun yet. From canyon rail journeys to neon-blue lagoons and …

If you’re traveling to Cancun in the near future, chances are some relaxation and week-round pampering in a five-star resort are top priorities for you, and listen, we totally get it: Cancun is practically synonymous with hassle-free tropical vacays, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add a little culture and nature exploration to the mix. …
