The Mexico Travel Guide: 184 Best Things to Do (Printable + iPad)

Planning a trip to Mexico is exciting, and surprisingly overwhelming.

Mexico City, the Caribbean coast, the Maya ruins of the Yucatán, Oaxaca, the colonial silver towns, the Pacific beaches, Baja and the Copper Canyon are all incredible. But they're far apart, most trips can't cover them all, and it's hard to tell what's genuinely worth your days from what's just on every list.

This 27-page printable travel guide gathers the 184 best things to do in Mexico, organized by region, with a short note on every entry so you know why it made the list.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• 184 places, foods and experiences across 21 regions and themes
• A short note on every entry: what it is and why it's worth it
• A progress page to track each region and the whole country
• Two editions: a printable PDF, and a tablet edition for GoodNotes, Notability and other iPad note apps, with a tappable contents page to jump between regions
