Mexico is the perfect choice for adventure–related vacations whether it’s hiking, mountain biking, scuba diving or surfing, Mexico offers unspoiled natural surroundings for every experience.  Mexico will satisfy your spirit of adventure, from a train ride through the Copper Canyon and rock climbing the peak of El Gigante, to discovering the wonders of different World Heritage Sites such as the Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve.

 

More and more tourists are seeking active vacations and Mexico is catering to those seeking nothing but adventure and excitement. For example, the state of Chihuahua offers some of the greatest adventures in the Copper Canyon. From mountain-biking paths that wind through the forests around the town of Creel, to exploring secret caves along indigenous families and sleeping in solar-powered eco-lodges, Chihuahua will dazzle your senses.

 

Down in the country’s Pacific Coast, surfers ride the waves in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. The world-class breaks in Zicatela and Marineros beaches lure surfers from around the world while in the same region, hikers venture into the trails that meet the clouds in the mountains and forests in Sierra Norte featuring beautiful crashing waterfalls.

 

Another option is Puerto Vallarta with its lagoons and wetlands, where bird watching is a popular year-round activity, while right on the bay, whales and dolphins frolic and play. Hikers, horseback riders and mountain bikers can explore the tropical forest and at night on the beaches, marine turtles lay their eggs during the summer months.

 

In the Yucatán, adventurous travelers will find ecotourism trips and exotic tropical bird watching excursions. Few areas in the world have such a diverse natural attributes such as leafy tropical jungle and wetlands that encompass fantastic biological diversity and islands covered in vegetation, surrounded by savannas, grottoes and fresh water cenotes (sink holes) in the heart of the jungle.

 

Water sports are above par in Riviera Maya and Cozumel. The area offers incomparable scuba diving along the second world largest coral reef in the world, the Mesoamerican Reef, with more than 200 species of tropical fish, it’s no wonder the reef was Jacques Cousteau’s favorite spot.
