A Short Plan to Feel Mexico in a Weekend

    • Walk through a historic downtown and try street food at a local market.
    • Visit a museum or emerging art gallery.
    • Book a cooking class or a neighborhood food tour.
    • End the day with a sunset by the sea or at a city lookout.

September is an invitation to celebrate, to gather, and to savor what brings us together. If you haven’t yet experienced Mexico, this is the perfect moment to plan your visit. And if you already know it, come back and live it again with new eyes and new flavors.
