Why Go:<\/strong> A laid-back, car-free island known for its bohemian vibe, shallow turquoise waters, and incredible wildlife. It’s a world away from the hustle of Cancun.<\/p>\n Activit\u00e9s cl\u00e9s :<\/strong><\/p>\n Traveler’s Note:<\/strong> Embrace the island’s rustic charm. Be aware that Wi-Fi is often spotty and ATMs can be unreliable. We recommend bringing sufficient cash for your stay. Isla Holbox is an ideal place to truly disconnect and relax.<\/p>\n Why Go:<\/strong> A spectacular freshwater lagoon with stunning shades of blue and turquoise, offering a tranquil alternative to the often-crowded Caribbean coast.<\/p>\n Activit\u00e9s cl\u00e9s :<\/strong><\/p>\n Traveler’s Note:<\/strong> This is an excellent alternative if sargassum seaweed is affecting coastal beaches. For the most immersive experience, we suggest staying in a small eco-lodge situated directly on the lagoon.<\/p>\n Why Go:<\/strong> Explore towering, ancient Mayan pyramids that emerge from an endless jungle canopy. A UNESCO World Heritage site that combines nature and history with a fraction of the visitors of Chichen Itza.<\/p>\n Activit\u00e9s cl\u00e9s :<\/strong><\/p>\n Traveler’s Note:<\/strong> Please be prepared for the remoteness of this site. A rental car is essential for access. Remember to pack plenty of water, snacks, and effective insect repellent. The drive from the main road to the ruins takes over an hour through the jungle.<\/p>\n Why Go:<\/strong> Two adjacent, tranquil villages offering a bohemian, eco-conscious atmosphere with a focus on yoga, wellness, and sea turtle conservation.<\/p>\n Activit\u00e9s cl\u00e9s :<\/strong><\/p>\n Traveler’s Note:<\/strong> Consider these villages a more rustic and spiritual alternative to the busier Puerto Escondido. Accommodations here are generally more basic, often consisting of charming eco-cabins and small guesthouses.<\/p>\n Why Go:<\/strong> An adventurer’s paradise, this region is a surreal landscape of turquoise rivers, powerful waterfalls, and deep jungle-shrouded sinkholes.<\/p>\n Activit\u00e9s cl\u00e9s :<\/strong><\/p>\n Traveler’s Note:<\/strong> This is a destination for active travelers seeking adventure. For safety and ease of logistics, we highly recommend booking guided tours for most activities. A basic understanding of Spanish will be very helpful in this region.<\/p>\n Why Go:<\/strong> A charming fishing village and artist enclave accessible only by boat from Puerto Vallarta, offering a true sense of escape.<\/p>\n Activit\u00e9s cl\u00e9s :<\/strong><\/p>\n Traveler’s Note:<\/strong> Access to Yelapa is by water taxi, which can be taken from Boca de Tomatl\u00e1n or the Los Muertos pier in Puerto Vallarta. With its limited connectivity, it serves as an ideal destination for a digital detox.<\/p>\n Why Go:<\/strong> A vibrant UNESCO World Heritage city built in a narrow ravine, famous for its colorful colonial architecture, subterranean tunnels that serve as roads, and lively cultural scene.<\/p>\n Activit\u00e9s cl\u00e9s :<\/strong><\/p>\n Traveler’s Note:<\/strong> Very comfortable walking shoes are essential, as the city is built on steep hills with many stairs and narrow lanes. Its character is distinctively more bohemian and less manicured than nearby San Miguel de Allende.<\/p>\n Why Go:<\/strong> A breathtaking box canyon featuring a thermal river, a large grotto with a hot waterfall, and dozens of cliffside thermal infinity pools (“pocitas”).<\/p>\n Activit\u00e9s cl\u00e9s :<\/strong><\/p>\n Traveler’s Note:<\/strong> Please note the travel logistics: the site is a 3-4 hour drive from Mexico City. The entire complex is cash-only, so plan accordingly. To avoid significant weekend crowds and enjoy the pools in the morning or evening, we recommend an overnight stay in one of the simple on-site hotels.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" D\u00e9couvrez les joyaux cach\u00e9s du Mexique, des jardins surr\u00e9alistes de Xilitla aux ruines antiques de Calakmul.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":48156,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Out of the Beaten Tracks places to visit in Mexico","_seopress_titles_desc":"Uncover Mexico's hidden gems\u2014from Xilitla's surreal gardens to Calakmul's ancient ruins.","_seopress_robots_index":""},"tags":[21,559],"article-type":[24791],"collection":[],"continent":[24764],"country":[53],"class_list":["post-45997","travel-guide","type-travel-guide","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-inspirationnal","tag-mexico","article-type-inspirational","continent-central-america","country-mexico"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel-guide\/45997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel-guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travel-guide"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45997"},{"taxonomy":"article-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-type?post=45997"},{"taxonomy":"collection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection?post=45997"},{"taxonomy":"continent","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent?post=45997"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=45997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
