El Pescadero

In addition to the interesting cultural attractions, art studios, farm-to-table meals and a thriving pottery community, the village is known for its natural beauty, especially the beaches.

The sleepy beach town offers postcard-worthy beaches and gorgeous cenotes. During your visit, don’t miss places like the Dos Ojos, Zacil-Ha, Calavera, Las Palmas, Playa Paraiso, and Playa Ruinas.
Oaxaca City
The colourful, vibrant city of Oaxaca is a must-visit when travelling to Mexico. It is renowned for its 17th-century architecture, buzzy downtown area, rich Indigenous heritage, and artisan communities. When you are here, do visit the greenery-filled Jardín Etnobotánico de Oaxaca, Hierve el Agua, and the Oaxaca Cathedral.
Copper Canyon Railway
Called one of the best train rides in Latin America, the Ferrocarril Chihuahua Pacífico (Copper Canyon Railway) takes you through vibrant vistas like alpine forests, stunning valleys, and quaint villages. Also known as the Chepe Express (from the “Ch” of Chihuahua and “P” of Pacífico), it climbs from sea level at Los Mochis and takes you to the town of Creel via the rocky landscapes of Copper Canyon (also known as the Grand Canyon of Mexico).
Guadalajara
Mexico’s second-largest city, Guadalajara, is a cultural hub and one of the best places to experience mariachi music, tequila and fine dining. Must-visit places in Guadalajara include Lake Chapala, Tlaquepaque, Instituto Cultural de Cabaña, Mercado San Juan de Dios, and Tapalpa.
