Mexico – plenty to see and do

Windsurfing, water-skiing, jet-skiing and paragliding are all popular activities, especially in the warm waters of Mexico.

Walks through the jungle are also highly recommended. Mexico City's Zócalo This gigantic main square in the capital is overlooked by the Catedral Metropolitana - one of the biggest churches on the planet and the first to be built in the ‘new world'. Mineral Springs Boiling water and a frozen waterfall can be seen at the Hierve el Agua mineral springs, near San Lorenzo Albarradas. Water percolates calcium carbonate and magnesium, creating bubbles and, where the spring pours down a cliff face, mineral deposits have formed a petrified cascade. Sacred City The sunset over Monte Albán, a sacred prehistoric city and centre of the Zapotec culture, which flourished 2,000 years ago, is a magical sight. The remarkable Central Plaza, the Ball Court, and many of the tombs are open to the public. Tulum Seeing the sunrise over the Mayan ruins of Tulum, near Playa del Carmen, is well worth an early start. Explore in peace then take a pre-breakfast dip in the turquoise sea - the ruins are practically on the beach.
