There is an ecological park in the area, which was built in April 2003, that can only be reached by boat. The ecological park houses a wildlife sanctuary which allows visitors see see many different local plants and animals. The park also offers visitors the chance to go mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, and swimming. Many tourists also enjoy the zip line which is also available here. There are also many activities here that allow travelers to learn about the ecology, ecosystems, and environment. This makes it a great learning experience for children, making Sumidero Canyon a great place for the whole family. It’s a great idea for travelers to bring a swimsuit as it is likely that travelers will want to take a dip in the water at the ecological park.

Know worldwide for its coral reefs, Cozumel is a prime location for snorkeling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, swimming, and kayaking. The beaches of Cozumel are beautiful and are a great place to catch a breathtaking sunset. Jacques Cousteau once remarked that Cozumel is one of the best places in the world to scuba dive. Although the coral reefs bring visitors in droves each year, a deep water pier was built in the 90s which allows cruise ships to dock. Since then, cruise ships have done much damage to the reefs in the area.

Those who wish to enjoy an eco-tour will enjoy Cozumel as it also has unique wildlife. This is apparent in the fact that in the Mayan language the word Cozumel means “island of the swallows”. The island’s central area is undeveloped, thus it offers visitors to catch a glimpse of the rare wildlife that live in the swampy areas deep within the jungle. There are many national parks on the island and other protected areas. The southern part of the island is known for its lighthouse as well as the Columbia Lagoon which is a great place to few some of the island’s endemic species. Much care should be taking when going on a Cozumel eco-tour as it is home to many endangered species such as sea turtles.

Those who are adventurous can try cliff diving of of La Quebrada. The activity of jumping of this cliff into the swirling water below has been popular since the mid 1930s. Jumpers have to be wary of the strong current and tide below, however. There is a water park called CICI right by the main beach which is a must visit for travelers with children. The area also offers many water sports. Isla de la Roqueta is a small island off of Acapulco that travelers can get to by ferry. Fishing, snorkeling, and diving are popular here as well as swimming as the island is surrounded by shallower water than that of Acapulco.

Acapulco’s town square, Zócalo, allows tourists to see more culture than town squares of most other Mexican tourist cities. The cathedral is located in this area as well as many small shops and restaurants. Those wishing to get away from the tourist scene in Acapulco can visit the nearby town of Puerto Marquez, which is quieter and friendlier. It’s a good idea for travelers here to know some, even if just a little, Spanish as Puerto Marquez isn’t really a tourist area thus far less locals speak English. Puerto Marquez is a great place for travellers to experience Mexican food at its finest. The food and lodging here is also cheaper here than Acapulco.

Those looking to enjoy water sports such as snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, swimming, etc, may want to consider the lagoon side as these types of water sports are more popular on this side. Those looking to surf are urged to head over the the Caribbean side of Cancun where the waves are higher.

There are many different clubs that offer salsa music, world music, techno, etc. The music varieties are almost limitless, so any one wanting to party can do so in Cancun.

For those who enjoy a little history with their adventure, exploring Mayan ruins is a great way to spend a vacation. A large amount of Mayan ruins are just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Cancun. Chichen Itza and Tulum are two great places to see Mayan ruins as much reconstruction of the ruins have kept them in better condition. However, Coba allows visitors to see up to 80 square miles of Mayan ruins which make for some beautiful views.

Many people enjoy more hands on adventure vacations. There are many things to do in Mexico that fit this group of travelers needs. For those traveling on the Baja side of Mexico, sea kayaking is a must-do (first image to the left). This is great for those who would love to kayak along sea cliffs and explore little caves and secret canyons. Those who are traveling near the Gulf side of Mexico can enjoy the Veracruz River (second image to the left) by way of rafting. The Veracruz River passes by two different sets of ruins. There are also

some small rapids on the river, which are considered quite tame for those who regularly go rafting, but still add fun to the equation.

Those who have found themselves visiting Mexico City may enjoy hiking one of the nearby volcano of Ixtaccihuatl. Many hikers enjoyed the twin volcanoes of Popocatepetl and

Ixtaccihuatl, but recently Popocatepetl became an active volcano and is now closed to hikers. Climbing Ixtaccihuatl isn’t for the amateur hiker, however. It can be windy and is often below freezing.

Those who have never been to Mexico have little knowledge of how it is a gem hidden in the rough. There are literally thousands of things to see and do in Mexico and these things are enjoyable for people of all ages.

For those who enjoy taking the scenic route to wherever they go, there is a lot to be enjoyed in Mexico.

Those who enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving may be shocked to hear that many actually do so in the craters of these volcanoes. There are also many historic sites to see such as Mitla (second image), which are ancient ruins constructed by the Zapotec civilization around 200 AD. Nearby to the ruins there is a large tree which may well be older than the ruins themselves. There is also the Copper Canyon railway (third image) which is one of the most beautiful and scenic train trips that tourists can take. Those who enjoy scenery such as canyons and rivers will find themselves finding both on this trip. For those with a little bit of cowboy in them, there are ranches that are open for tourists to visit and to enjoy horseback riding. Some ranches also offer tequila tasting as a way to cap off the evening.

Those who enjoy the beach scene will be quickly spoiled in Mexico. Mexico is known for some of the most beautiful beaches in the world including Cabos San Lucas (image to the left) and Cozumel. Beaches are very lively places in Mexico thus thousands of American tourists find themselves at Mexican beaches each year. Mexico is also known for its fine arts. Many people flock to Mexico City’s Palace of fine arts to see many cultural dances and ballets.

Those who enjoy water sports will not be disappointed as the Banderas Bay offers much in the way of water sports. This bay, one of the deepest bays in the world, offers swimming, snorkeling, diving, fishing and more.

The area is also known for its eco-tours and zip lines. Anyone interested in eco-tours will never find themselves bored in Puerto Vallarta. The Banderas Bay, being the second largest bay in North America, offers a lot in the way of boating. Sailing is popular here and many tourists find themselves on a sailboat enjoying the sun or learning how to sail. Kite surfing and para sailing are also popular here.

Other outdoor activities include exploring what the Sierra Madre has to offer. By way of the Sierra Madre mountains, tourists can experience the Mexican outback and see the many plants and animals in this sub-tropical location. Many tours will take visitors out here to allow them to experience this beautiful area. Some of these tours will also take tourists to local villages, too.
