MEXICO Bordered by azure Pacific and Caribbean waters, site of the extraordinary remains of advanced ancient civilizations, and home to some of the world’s most inviting people, Mexico is the vacation destination you dream about. Mexico is vibrant, colourful, and unique, blessed with Native American heritage and a distinct Spanish flavour. Its varied terrain ranges from cactus-studded deserts to whitesand beaches and blue-green waters, tropical rainforests to steep rocky canyons, and snow-capped volcano peaks to bustling cities. You’ll find it all in this proud nation, where the most notable feature of all is the warmth and hospitality of its people. Much of Mexico’s countryside remains unspoiled by development, and its cities display a unique style of architecture. Its amazing history is reflected in ancient Mayan temples strewn across the jungles, ruins of Aztec civilizations, rural indigenous villages, Spanish colonial cities, silver-mining towns, and traditional seaports. Modern Mexico thrives along hundreds of miles of Pacific and Caribbean coastline, some of the most popular vacation real estate in the world.

Entry requirements All Canadian citizens are required to present a valid passport. Travellers staying in Mexico for more than 72 hours need a Mexico tourist card, which is good for single entry up to 180 days, and which must be kept with you at all times when in Mexico; the cost (about $20) is included in your airfare. Climate Mexico’s Pacific Coast is bathed in warm-to-hot weather; high temperatures hover at around 32°C with little variation between day and night, and seldom drop below 25°C. Along the Caribbean, temperatures are constant and rather warm throughout the year (with highs of 27°C).

PARTY THE NIGHT AWAY MEXICO, WHERE THE CLUBS ARE HOT AND YOU DANCE UNTIL YOU DROP

Cancun Mexico after dark is at its best in Cancun, famous the world over for its dance clubs, bars, discos, parties, festivals, shows, restaurants, and live music. The Hotel Zone is the place to be, it is in the heart of the nightlife scene. A spot you must check out is Coco Bongo, be mesmerized as talented acrobats perform to today’s hottest tunes as you dance the night away.

Drink Tequila like a local... In Mexico, most folks drink their tequila neat, straight from the freezer. And they don’t gulp it, they sip at it as if it were a good whiskey. The trend for lime and salt comes from outside the country, probably as a way of masking the harsh taste of the varieties. The good stuff will burn in your belly not your throat, so you won’t need to drink anything but the tequila.

DESTINATION WEDDINGS A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN A STUNNING LOCATION

magine celebrating your special day on palm-lined shores, to the beat of a mariachi band, or amid fragrant blossoms on a colourful island paradise. Indelibly glamorous, surprisingly affordable, and more effortless from start to finish than many couples can even dream, destination weddings combine all the romance and exhilaration of a regular wedding with the excitement of a memorable trip overseas. Don’t sweat the details Destination weddings can help take the stress out of planning, with customizable packages ranging from classically simple to gloriously lavish. Special touches like tropical flower-draped wooden arches, delicate floating candle centrepieces, fluttering white tablecloths, and even the releasing of butterflies set the stage for your special day, while photographers, musicians, and hair stylists are often available at your request. Many resorts employ professional wedding planners who will deal with all the small details – arranging transportation, acting as a liaison between vendors. All you have to do is show up, say your vows, and have a wonderful time. Your own kind of special day Wed in blissful solitude with just you, your fiancé, and the rippling of the ocean, or invite all your friends and family to kick up their heels for a week in paradise! From an intimate ceremony followed by a candlelit dinner-fortwo, to a blowout celebration with seating for 40, you can make your special day as inclusive – or as exclusive – as you like. And the party doesn’t have to start at the altar! With many resorts offering group discounts, you can invite your loved ones to spend time at the resort before the ceremony. Make everyone a part of the fun – hit the golf course with dad, enjoy a pampering day at the spa with mom, introduce extended families over a heartfelt welcome dinner, and hit the clubs with your friends to party after dark!

The celebration never ends What’s more, destination weddings make it easy to combine your special day and your honeymoon into one gloriously long celebration. Destinations across Mexico make it easy to say “I do” in tropical settings – directly on the beach, at an on-site chapel, or even in an intimate ceremony performed right inside your suite – and settle in for a week of exquisite pampering at the all-inclusive resort of your dreams. Whatever your style, wherever your location, a destination wedding is sure to create memories that will last long after the last “thank you” note has been mailed.

On your own time Beyond special honeymoon and wedding packages and amenities, there’s the attractive organic appeal of a wedding or honeymoon in Mexico:

Endless experiences Free-dive in an underground river in the Riviera Maya. Stake your sunbathing claim on the golden sands of Los Cabos and Ixtapa on the Pacific Coast, or in Cancun and Cozumel in the Caribbean.

Away from the coasts, there is bungeejumping, birding, off-roading, hiking, horseback riding, caving, rappelling, zip-lining, and, of course, golfing. Bring your clubs and tee off on more than 150 courses across the country, designed by top architects.

Immerse yourself in ancient Mayan history at fascinating archaeological sites and breathtaking architectural ruins. Wander historic city streets lined with Spanish Colonial and Mexican Baroque gems. And all of your days will be bathed in sunshine by day and starlight by night. Is there anything more romantic?

Shopping Cancun is a duty-free zone; here you pay the lowest prices in Mexico on items such as perfume, spirits, and jewelry. Puerto Vallarta’s fine art galleries set it apart from most Mexican beach resort cities; look for silver jewelry, blown glass objects, local pottery, sarapes, clothing, masks, and other artisan products.

Include us in! All-inclusive resorts in Mexico are heavy on top-tier extras like gourmet dining, 24/7 room service, full-service spas, golf and tennis, water sports, nightlife and casinos, and, of course, more-than-plush rooms (often with private plunge pools or Jacuzzis). For those tying the knot, many resorts offer the services of certified wedding planners, beautiful indoor and outdoor venues (including on-site Catholic chapels or seaside garden gazebos), elegant banquet salons, and much more.

Sports Water sports enthusiasts get their kicks on hundreds of beaches bordering the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Pacific Ocean, and Sea of Cortez. Dive into a wide range of activities, from windsurfing, boating, and sport fishing, to jet-skiing, water-skiing, snorkelling and scuba diving, and swimming with dolphins and sting rays.

The cosmopolitan character of Playa del Carmen is reflected in the eclectic stores along Fifth Avenue, which offer genuine Mexican silver jewelry, carved wood decorations, batik beach wraps with Mayan designs, and cigars (which are rolled right in front of you). Food Prepared lovingly and presented simply, Mexican cuisine as a whole is natural, flavourful, colourful, based on seasonal produce, and fresh. Pull up a chair for traditional and regional dishes like ceviche, Chiles Rellenos, Huachinango, and Pollo Pibil.

World-class resorts. Legendary beaches. Acclaimed cuisines. A staggering array of natural wonders. Electrifying big-city culture. Awesome sights and landscapes. And a bevy of destinations that were made for romance. The options in Mexico for your destination wedding or honeymoon are almost endless, and offer some of the best values anywhere. 21

COZUMEL Welcome to an idyllic island where Mexican hospitality and Caribbean charm blend seamlessly – and the coral reefs are among the most celebrated in the world.

Taking the bait Book a charter boat and sail into the warm waters in search of sport fish like blue and white marlin, sailfish, and swordfish.

Cozumel caught the attention of underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau in the 1960s. Since then, the small island has been hailed the world over as a top scuba diving destination, with the second largest coral reef in the world just offshore! Deep-sea fishing, snorkelling, and water-skiing are also popular, and resorts and recreational facilities are well equipped.

IXTAPA / ZIHUATANEJO These Pacific Coast neighbors offer contrasting versions of Mexican paradise, making your vacation a perfect “2 for 1” sun-drenched getaway!

Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo experiences •• Go scuba diving among coral reefs, underwater canyons, shoals, and sunken ships.

Looking for a modern, amenity-filled resort destination? Charming seaside village? When you visit Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, you get both! Consider Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo: Although carved from the same tropical coastline and marked by verdant hills and scalloped coves, these Costa Grande neighbors offer contrasting versions of Mexico – some even call it “the one place that’s two places at once.”

•• Stop at a typical Zihua café for aporreadillo, a local dish made from cured beef, eggs, and Mexican salsa. •• Wander the Mercado de Artesanía Turístico for terrific buys in jewelry, beads, silver, handicrafts, and hammocks.

Zesty Zihuatanejo Known for the incredible beaches protected within its absolutely gorgeous small bay, unpretentious Zihuatanejo is tailor-made for sunny days full of fishing, sailing, scuba diving, snorkelling, biking, surfing, water-skiing, horseback riding – or just snoozing under a shady palm tree along the malecón. Invigorating Ixtapa Sophisticated pleasures and world-class accommodations are the hallmark of dynamic Ixtapa, the most modern resort destination on Mexico’s west coast. There’s great nightlife, shopping, and restaurants, while championship golf, tennis, deep-sea fishing, water sports, and boutique shopping offer diversions for every taste.

•• Visit the Museo de Arqueólogia de la Costa Grande for its impressive collection of artifacts from pre-Hispanic times.

•• Take a ferry to beautiful, sandy Isla Ixtapa, where a small lighthouse offers spectacular Pacific views. •• Dance until sunrise at the pulsating discotheques around Ixtapa’s boulevard area. •• Venture to the beaches of Playa del Palmar and Playa Quieta for water sports, including unparalleled surfing.

LOS CABOS There’s no topping this Pacific paradise for boundless sunshine, striking landscapes, outstanding golf, unbeatable resorts, and more!

MAZATLÁN An affordable and friendly destination with wonderful amenities and loads of seaside charm, Mazatlán is also known for its uninhibited celebrations of life! The largest city along Mexico’s Gold Coast, Mazatlán has quietly become one of the most popular destinations in the country, offering 20 miles of golden-sand beaches, world-class golfing, outstanding seafood, and numerous daytime and nighttime diversions. Port side The Zona Dorada (Golden Zone) is a major tourist area with some of the city’s best hotels, shops, and restaurants. It is separated from the port by a long stretch of undeveloped beach, allowing the tourism attractions and the charm of a working Mexican city to coexist nicely. Fish story Along the resort areas, open-air bistros and bars line the active yet uncrowded beaches. The rolling surf is akin to that in Southern California, making water sports, sunbathing, and parasailing favorite pastimes. Anglers get a special treat with some of the best deep-sea fishing in the world and more than a dozen sport fishing fleets to serve them.

Mazatlán experiences •• Discover the heart of the city’s history and artistic culture as you stroll through Old Mazatlán’s cobblestone sidewalks, colonial mansions, museums, and shops. •• Indulge in snorkelling, boogie boarding, parasailing and more at Playa Camaron, Gaviotas, Sabalo, and Brujas. •• Mazatlán is home to one of the largest shrimp fleets in the world, and there’s no shortage of fresh-caught shrimp on the menu at the city’s many restaurants. •• Dive into the Golden Zone’s fun-filled nightlife, especially at the Fiesta Land entertainment complex. •• Rent a Hobie Cat ® or jet-ski, and cruise all day on Puerto Viejo Bay. •• Try a refreshing Mexican-pilsner style beer, from Cerveza Pacífico Clara. It was first brewed in 1900 in Mazatlán.

GUADALAJARA Said to possess the true soul of Mexico, is the birthplace of such cultural gems as tequila, mariachi music, and many popular Mexican dishes. Guadalajara is Mexico’s second largest city, and growing fast thanks to its booming industrial economy. Despite the onrush of modernity, the city still embodies the unhurried pace and gentility of Old Mexico. You can experience this in traditions that are deeply ingrained in Mexico’s national identity: tequila; mariachi music; and charrería, a display of Mexican cowboy and rodeo culture.
