Ask yourself: what could be more relaxing than lying on a tropical beach, watching the sun set? Especially in the equatorial latitudes, sunsets are certainly a sight to behold the glowing orange disc descending on the horizon, seeming to melt into the glittering waves as they dance, alight with fiery colors. If you close your eyes, you can almost hear the tranquil calls of tropical birds singing their mates home to roost, and smell the salty, invigorating scent of the sea. This is the kind of evening that becomes typical after a few days vacationing in Mexico to be followed by a gorgeous, brilliant sunrise the next morning, provided you wake up early enough to catch it! Your entire family will be so awed at the pristine beaches, balmy weather, and sumptuous cuisine that it'll be hard to believe the vacation can get any better; rest assured, though, that all that is only the beginning.

Mexico: Land of Serenity

A family vacation in sunny Mexico is an express ticket to freedom: from boredom, from stress, and most importantly, from all your cares. So much is available in this rich, deep land so full of history and culture, your prevailing preoccupation will be how to pare down the list of activities you and your loved ones want to participate in so that you don't end up missing your flight home! From the sunny beaches of the Riviera Maya to the skyscrapers of Mexico City, to the awe-inspiring ancient ruins of Tikal, you'll be traveling in style and living in luxury, enriching your mind and body, and creating memories that your family will treasure for a lifetime.

The Mystery of Tulum

One of the most intriguing and convenient, if you're staying in Cancun, Cozumel, or the Riviera Maya ancient sites in Mexico is the seaside ruin of Tulum. Built on a rocky coast and couched in the fertile arms of the jungle, Tulum was one of the last strongholds of the Maya kingdom, its inhabitants having been felled by disease, not warfare, nearly 50 years after the Spanish invasion of the Americas. The site features incredible pyramids like the great Castillo, a variety of temples such as the Temple of the Descending God, and is doubly famous for featuring one of the ancient world's first known lighthouses. Atop the massive sea wall there is a prominent fortification with several small windows, which would act as a means of focusing the sun's rays to guide ships around the area's treacherous coral reefs. Walking or cycling tours of Tulum are both available, and it's only a short hop back to your hotel, resort, or eco-lodge, making Tulum the perfect one-day seaside excursion.

Unlimited Potential for Adventure

Southern Mexico is the gateway to Central America, a region similarly rich in historical treasures and unmatched natural beauty. Just a short trip south to Belize opens the door to a wide variety of adventures such as nature tours and bird-watching, activities best undertaken with an experienced guide who can lead the way and point out the multitude of rare and colorful birds and animals not to be found in any other biome on the planet. If animals are not your passion, you can simply meander amidst the thick foliage and marvel at the limitless variety of tropical flowers, trees, and ferns, walking under towering waterfalls, and taking in a sunset as it sinks beneath the jungle canopy. Or, you could climb down a cenote to experience the thrill of underground cave tubing. A particularly popular destination for this is the Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave, where you can descend deep into the ancient Mayan underworld and view the glittering, calcified remains of the Crystal Maiden.

Wherever you decide to go, and whatever your fancy, it's a safe bet that Mexico and Central America will have all your desires covered. The wealth of experience that you'll gain in even a brief stay, the everlasting memories it will create for you and your family make the decision to spend your next holiday in Central America an easy one to come by.
