Mexico

Mexico moves easily between ancient and modern — Maya pyramids rising out of jungle in the Yucatan, colonial plazas across the highlands, and one of the world's great food cities in the capital. The Yucatan Peninsula alone holds Chichen Itza, hundreds of swimmable cenotes, and a coastline running from Tulum's ruins to Isla Holbox.

Inland, Oaxaca and Mexico City anchor a food-and-culture route that rewards slow travel — markets, mezcalerias, and museums in equal measure.
