Tropical
Vacations Introduce You to Nature’s Glory
A tropical vacation usually evokes images of images of sultry summer
days lounging on the beach and soft breezes caressing you in the
evenings while you sip a drink in the evenings. There are so many
wonderful tropical vacation packages that give you just that in Mexico,
but if you’d like to take it to the next level, consider
traveling to the interior as well and experience the full spectrum of
nature’s glory. Tropical also means exotic plants, gorgeous
birds and chattering monkeys, mountain cliffs and amazing wildlife!
Jungle and Tropical Rainforest Vacations
Ecotourism is one of the most incredible adventures you can embark on
in Mexico and other tropical areas of the world. These eco adventures
give you the opportunity to see and hear things you would never be able
to experience outside of a zoo or museum. In tropical regions of the
world there are jungles and rain forests that shelter an amazing array
of plants and animals that are colorful, unique and exotic.
Traveling with an experienced guide through the interior of a
rainforest or jungle will bring you into a world where time has stood
still for thousands of years. Imagine trekking along a stretch of sandy
beach your first day, then heading spending the next few days in a
rainforest where brilliantly plumed parrots fly overhead, calling to
one another and flashing feathers of emerald, ruby and gold. The
chatter of monkeys as they swing overhead will delight your group as
your guide explains the delicate balance of Mexico’s
ecosystem.
There are coral reefs to explore, natural springs and underwater rivers
with stunning rock formations and always the crystalline waters of the
Caribbean Sea.
In the evenings you’ll view glorious sunsets from atop
majestic Mayan ruins or high natural ridges, all part of the protected
heritage of the Mexican people. The warm breezes will sweep away the
humidity of your jungle day as you relax with your small group of
fellow travelers, suspended in time under a brilliant blanket of stars.
Challenge Yourself in the Tropics
If you’re up to something a bit more physical, tropical
vacations offer a vast range of topographies for every activity from
mountain biking to scuba diving. The mountains of the Yucatan Peninsula
offer extremely challenging mountain biking trails and hiking
opportunities for solo or group trekking.
Check out some of the stunning vistas you can see from various mountain
locations, including views of several of the largest volcanoes in
Mexico like Pico De Orizaba, Iztaccihuatl and the still active
Popcateptl (which erupted spectacularly less then ten years ago,
causing the evacuation of two villages). Near Mexico City you can visit
the Pyramids of Teotihuacan, another spectacular example of early Mayan
culture.
If you’re a fan of scuba diving, there’s nothing
more exhilarating than a tropical vacation for scuba. Cancun offers a
variety of packages for exceptional open water diving and cave or
cavern diving. Even experienced scuba divers agree that
there’s always something new to discover in the elaborate
underwater caverns along the tropical beaches of the Mexican shore.
Did you know that the second largest coral reef in the world, the Great
Belize Coral Reef, is in Mexico? This tropical reef system stretches
from Playa del Carmen to the Gulf of Hondoras and is a paradise of
stunning plants and fish that can be explored by scuba divers and
snorkelers alike. Your whole family will be enchanted by the flashes of
rainbow color darting through the diamond-clear waters of this vast
expanse of one of the world’s most beautiful ecosystems.
Soaking Up the Atmosphere
Tropical means warm days, warm nights and plenty of sunshine, and on
tropical vacations you expect plenty of both. In Mexico
you’ll find them – the average temperature is
85º in the daytime and in the 70’s at night, with
warm rains of short duration only occasionally interrupting the
mornings. Warm breezes keep things comfortable year-round and the
sunsets are always spectacular!
And tropical means atmosphere…it’s that special
combination of warm weather, sandy beaches, exotic locale and that
indefinable something extra that comes from the people. The Mexican
people are friendly, generous and family oriented. You’ll
discover that shops are closed for lunch breaks and that Friday
afternoons are made for relaxing.
Don’t be afraid to strike up conversations and make new
friends; the mood is relaxed when you take a tropical vacation.
There’s no fussy dress code and you’ll never have
to put on a necktie or suffer through an evening in stockings and high
heels (unless you want to!). Casual is the standard when
you’re on a tropical vacation – even for dinner,
you’re fine in a polo shirt and sandals are encouraged. This
is a vacation, after all! And kids are welcome everywhere!
It’s a tropical pace that encourages taking full advantage of
the simple joys of walking on the beach, sampling fresh seafood,
bartering in the local marketplace and sipping a Sea Breeze in the
evening with your spouse while the sun goes down over the waves in a
blaze of oranges, reds and golds.
The beaches stretch for miles with the finest white sands in the world
and new and unusual sea shells washing ashore with every wave that
gently laps the shore. Palm trees stir in the breeze, adding the quiet
rustle of their leaves to the winds and providing shade for the many
hammocks you’ll find strung between them.
Time loses meaning in the Tropics
The sound of pounding surf and the cry of seagulls overhead will lull
you into a relaxing sense of peace as you realize there’s
nowhere you have to be, nowhere to rush off to, because in tropical
Mexico, no one operates by their watches. It’s free and easy,
based purely on what you want to do and when you feel like doing it.
Doesn’t that sound good for a change?
So for the ultimate in relaxation or adventure, a tropical vacation has
it all – sunsets, warm breezes, natural beauty, adventure,
friendship, and incredible, lush beauty. Go somewhere tropical for your
next family vacation – you’ll never want to go
anywhere else!
