Holidays in Mexico
Understanding Mexico
Mexico is one of the most popular tourist countries on earth over 20 million foreign visitors last year Much of the tourist industry is centered around the beach resorts as well as the altiplano in the central part of the country Visiting the northern interior allows visitors to get off the beaten path a bit American tourists tend to predominate on the Baja peninsula and the more modernized beach resorts Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, while European tourists congegrate around the smaller resort areas in the south like Playa del Carmen and colonial towns San Cristobal de las Casas
Climate
Mexico uses the metric sytem for all measurements All weather forcasts will be in celsius °C
Varies from desert-like regions on the northwest part of the country cities like Hermosillo, Ciudad Juarez, or Los Cabos; and temperate in the northeastern part cities like Monterrey, Nuevo Laredo, Ciudad Acuña, but note that much of the northern Mexican territory gets rather cold during the winter with average day time highs from 8C 39F to 12C 59F, overnight lows average around -4C 24F and snow is sometimes frequent in certain northern places like the Sierra Madre of Chihuahua, Durango, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and northern Tamaulipas but can also occur at higher altitudes in the temperate forests in the central part of Mexico Also, northern Mexico gets very hot during the summer with sudden violent storms in the afternoon, with heavy rain and hail, also an isolated tornado can occur with these storms but rarely, and the temperatures during the day can quickly exceed 39C 100F The Bajio region is semiarid cities like Aguascalientes, Leon and Zacatecas; and temperate forests in the central part of the country {Mexico City, Toluca}, and tropical rain forests in the south and southeast regions like Chiapas, Cancun The region stretching from Guadalajara to Morelia enjoys what many consider one of the best climates in the world, with daily high temps in the high 70s and 80s year round During hurricane season, hurricanes are common in the coastal cities specially those near the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico
Landscape
High, rugged mountains; low coastal plains; high plateaus; temperate plains with grasslands and Mezquite trees in the northeast, desert and even more rugged mountains in the northwest, tropical rainforests in the south and southeast {Chiapas, Cancun} semiarid in places like {Aguascalientes, San Luis Potosi} and temperate coniferous and deciduous forests in the central part of the country {Mexico City, Toluca}

Time
- Mexico uses the 24-hour clock system for time keeping
Mexico observes daylight savings time DST the same way as the USA did pre-2007, from first Sunday in April to last Sunday in October This now includes the tropical regions of southern Mexico as well Note there will be several weeks each year when the US is on DST, but Mexico is not The state of Sonora south of Arizona, does not observe DST since Arizona doesn't have it either
Talking in Mexico
Although there is no official language by law, Spanish is the de facto national language It is used by virtually the whole population and all public communications signs, documents, media, etc are conducted in the language Bilingual signs in Spanish and English might be available in popular tourist destinations
English is largely spoken in border cities with the United States as well as some tourist destinations, but much of the country is monolingual Outside these places, more educated Mexicans specially among the higher class and young people will more likely be fluent in the language and/or in other languages The most popular foreign languages to learn within Mexico after English are French, Italian, German and Japanese Clerks, policemen, and drivers outside touristic destinations are the least likely to know a second language, so a student or a businessman on the street will be a better bet
Mexico has one of the richest diversity of languages, with more of 60 indigenous languages spoken within the Mexican territory These languages are spoken within the communities of these indigenous peoples, who are largely segregated from mainstream mestizo society In any case, the probabilities of finding a speaker of any of these languages is small, since only half of 20% that comprises Indian population in Mexico speaks indigenous language On the other hand, most of these communities are also fluent in Spanish as well Therefore learning any of these indigenous languages is not indispensable at all, but can gain a lot of respect from these communities

The currency of Mexico is the peso MXN, divided into 100 centavos Coins are issued in 5 , 10 steel, 20, 50 centavo brass and 1, 2, 5 steel ring, brass center, 10, 20, 50, and 100 peso brass ring, steel or silver center denominations, but it's extremely rare to find coins valued at more than 10 pesos Banknotes are produced in 20 blue, 50 pink-red, 100 red, 200 green, 500 brown, and 1000 peso purple and pink for the latest issue, purple for older issues denominations The most recent 20- and 50-peso bills are made from polymer plastic, and there are several different series of 20-, 50-, 200-, and 1000-peso notes
Do not accept old pesos issued before 1993: they are practically worthless
The symbol for pesos is the same as for US dollars, which can be slightly confusing Prices in dollars in tourist areas are labeled "US$" or sport an S with a double stroke As of August 09 the exchange rate hovers around $13 MXN to $1 USD As this exchange rate has typically hovered around $10 MXN to $1 USD, vendors and merchants will often use this rate of exchange Thus it is currently better to purchase with MXN pesos US dollars are widely accepted in the far north and in tourist locales elsewhere
Euros are generally not accepted by merchants, and even banks headquartered in Europe may refuse to accept euros for exchange On the other side, most banks and exchange offices "casas de cambio" will widely accept them
If you have brought cash in USD or EUR, best places to change your money are at arrival airport eg MEX and CUN, where many money exchanges are located already in the arrival hall - here you also can compare some exchange rates and choose the most convenient - normally, at airports, the exchange rate is on a very fair level
If you wanted to wait with the exchange for later, try to avoid to change at your hotel, as the rates there are an extreme disadvantage for the tourist Often, you can find money exchanges at strategic places in most touristic destinations and near the hotel zones The exchanges rates should not differ drastically from the ones at airport If you are not familiarised with mexican money bills, coins, try to stick to these mentioned official exchange places In some popular internationally visited beach destinations like Cancun, Los Cabos and similar, local merchants are very used to deal with US-Dollars, and it often accept them as payment Try always to bare in mind, that "private" money exchange usually comes along with a slightly unfavorable exchange rate
Credit and Debit Cards with Maestro or MC/VISA affiliation are widely accepted in Mexico You can use them at ATM's as well as in most department stores, bigger restaurants, gas stationsbe sure, that in Mexico's province you always carry sufficient cash in MexPesos in your pocket, and generally verify the possibility to pay with card before consumption Smaller often family run business often only accepts cash
While many Pemex stations accept credit cards, especially in locations that have heavy tourist traffic, some do not; travelers who intend to pay by credit card should ask the attendant if the card is accepted before pumping begins
ATMs are easy to come by Bank of America customers can avoid ATM fees by using Santander Serfin ATMs Other banks may have similar policies, check with your respective institution Otherwise, do not be surprised to find yourself with a fee for each withdrawal ATMs in smaller towns can run out of currency; sometimes this is a regular occurrence Check with the bank or locals about the best time to use the ATM and don't wait until the very last minute to get cash
Merchants can be picky about the state of your paper money, they may scrutinize it and reject anything with rips Try to keep it in as pristine condition as possible Reputedly, this is more the case the further South you go In any case, you can easily enter a bank with some damaged bill to get it exchanged into another one
Merchants are often reluctant to make change in smaller towns Try to avoid paying with overly large denominations; the best customer has exact change In rural areas, your 'change' may consist of chiclets or other small commodities
- Indigenous Art A visit to anywhere in Mexico will give one the opportunity to buy art made in the "old world" manner that reflects the diverse ethnicity of Mexico Included in these articles would be textiles, wood carvings, paintings and carved masks that are used on sacred dances and burials
- Timeshares When visiting the resort cities of Mexico eg Cancun, Puerto Vallarta or similar, it is more than common to be approached on the streets, in bars, in restaurants and anywhere with offers of gifts, free rental cars, free nights, free dinners, free anything that may appeal to you, just for visiting and listening to a presentation to buy a timeshare Unless you are severly desperate for something to do, you may want to ignore those making the offer and stay away from those free offers While the properties are very nice, great locations and plenty of amenities, this is not the place to learn about timeshares Do your homework before even thinking about buying a timeshare, see what the values are in the resale market and understand the rights you are buying as well as the future costs Collecting on the free offers may be difficult, if not impossible
Food and eating in Mexico
Mexican cuisine can be described better as a collection of various regional cuisines rather than a standard list of dishes for the whole country Because of climate, geography and ethnic differences, we can classify Mexican cuisine broadly in 4 great categories according to the region:
- Northern - Mostly meat dishes done mainly from beef and goat This includes Cabrito, Carne Asada Barbecue and Arrachera Is influenced by international cuisine mostly from the United States and Europe, but it retains the essential Mexican flavor
- Central - This region is influenced by the rest of the country, but it has its well developed local flavor in dishes such as Pozole, Menudo and Carnitas Dishes are mostly corn-based and with different spices
- Southeastern - Is known for its spicy vegetable and chicken-based dishes Caribbean cuisine have influences here because of the location
- Coast - Is composed heavily with seafood and fish, but corn-based recipes can be easily found as well
Ask for the "platillo tipico" of the town, which is the local speciality that may not be found elsewhere, a variation, or the birthplace of a recipe, also consider that most of the recipies change from place to place, like tamales, in the south are made with the banana plant leaves, and in the Huasteca region tamales are very big, one is OK for a complete family
Traditional Mexican food can often be very spicy; if you are not used to peppers, always ask if your food includes it ¿Esto tiene chile?
There are many food carts on the streets of Mexican cities and towns Travellers are advised to eat from these carts with caution, as hygienic preparation practices are not always reliable In doing so, you may or may not find some of the most unique and genuinely Mexican dishes you've ever had From these vendors, you may find tacos, burgers, bread and almost any kind of food and service you would imagine
- Chicharrón - Deep fried pork skin Quite crunchy and if well-prepared slightly oily
- Enchiladas - Chicken or meat stuffed soft tortillas covered with green, red or mole sauce Some may have melted cheese

You can measure the quality of food by popularity, do not eat on lonely places, even if they are restaurants or hotels
Drinking in Mexico
Tap water is potable, but generally not recommended for drinking Some exaggerated people even claim that tap water is not good for brushing teeth Hotels usually give guests one large bottle of drinking water per room per night Bottled water is also readily available in supermarkets and at tourist attractions
- Absinth is legal in Mexico
- Tequila, distilled from Agave a specific type of cactus
- Pulque, ferment made from Maguey
- Mezcal, similar to tequila but distilled from Maguey
- Tepache, made from pineapple
- Tuba, made from coconut palm tree
There are also several Mexican beers, most of which are available outside Mexico, these include:
- Corona popular, but not necessarily as overwhelmingly popular in Mexico as many foreigners think
- Dos Equis XX, dark or lager both good mass-market beers
- Modelo Especial medium lager
- Negra Modelo darker, flavorful ale
- Modelo Light typical light Mexican beer - Corona, Pacifico and Tecate also have "light" versions
- Pacífico Pilsner beer, one of the better lighter beers
- Tecate perhaps the most common beer, especially in the north, light with a slight hoppy taste
- Indio good amber, not commonly exported
- Bohemia nice malty taste
- Carta Blanca mass market beer
- Sol very light, similar to Corona
- Superior pretty common beer
- Victoria A light Vienna-style beer, usually not exported

- Corona "de Barril" or Barrillito fun to drink
- Chamochelas
- Modelo Chope Draft beer only available in select bars & restaurants, comes in Light & Negra varieties, with the latter being a Munich dunkel
Lighter Mexican beers are often served with lime and salt, though many Mexicans do not drink beer in this fashion In some places you will find beer served as a prepared drink called "Michelada" or simply "Chelada" The formula varies depending on the place, but it's usually beer mixed with lime juice and various sauces and spices on ice served in a salt rim glass Other variation called "Cubana" includes Clamato cocktail, soybean sauce, salt and a little bit of hot sauce
Northwestern Mexico, including Baja California and Sonora, also produces wines, and Mexican wine is often quite good, but most Mexicans tend to prefer European or Chilean imports
Non alcoholic beverages:
- Chocolate
- Atole
- Horchata rice based drink
- Agua de jamaica hibiscus iced tea, similar to karkadai in Egypt
- Licuados de fruta Fruit smoothies and milkshakes
- Champurrado Thick chocolate drink
- Refrescos common sodas, generally sweet and made with cane sugar, not corn syrup as in the United States
The legal drinking age in Mexico is 18, but not strictly enforced In many places, consumption of alcohol in public "open container" is illegal and usually punishable by a day in jail Be aware of waitresses and barmen, especially at night clubs If you are not aware of your consumption and how much you already spent, they can add a few more drinks to your account Some do this, not all
Alcoholmeters are widely used in driving roads If drinking, always have a designated driver Driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage will result in 1 to 3 days in jail
Mexico, especially the southern state of Chiapas, produces excellent coffee Café con leche, usually one part coffee to one part steamed milk, is very popular Unfortunately, many places in Mexico that are not cafés serve Nescafe or other instant coffee - you may have to search for the good coffee, but it's there
Accommodation in Mexico
A number of hotel chains are available throughout Mexico, including Palace Resorts, Le Blanc Spa Resort, Best Western, Holiday Inn, CityExpress, Fiesta Inn, Fairmont, Hilton, Ritz, Camino Real, Starwood Sheraton, W, Westin, Four Points and many others Rates have risen considerably in recent years, though most are still reasonable compared to similar US or European hotels Chain accommodations are usually clean and comfortable, good for business travelers, but not necessarily for those wanting to experience Mexico itself Smaller hotels and motels along the roadside may not be safe or comfortable Boutique hotels are found all over the country; price range varies but all of them are rich in Mexican traditions, elegance and charm, the perfect way to experience the cultural heritage of each state A great source of information is Melba Levick's book Mexicasa, found in many libraries and online bookstores There are also many all-inclusive resorts for those visiting the major beach destinations
There is a large backpacker culture in mexico, and there are many hostels offering dorm accommodation and private rooms You can expect to pay between 50 and 150 pesos for a night in a dorm, often including breakfast Hostels are a fantastic place to share information with fellow travellers, and you can often find people who have been to your future destinations There are a number of internet sites that allow you to book hostels in advance for a small fee, and this is becoming an increasingly common practice
The most authentic accommodation can usually be found by asking locals or gringos, especially in the smaller towns If you are unsure about the safety or conditions of the room ask to see it before paying This will not be considered rude
If you are going to be in cooler areas in the winter consider bringing an electric blanket - as there is power, but no heat in the cheaper hotels And although it may get quite hot by afternoon outside, adobe and cement are like fridges An electric tea kettle is also a good idea, hot water might not be available when you want it
If you're traveling with children, use a plastic case with wheels and a handle as luggage, and it can be used as a bathtub for the kids if necessary Budget hotels rarely, if ever, have bathtubs
Working in Mexico
Working may require a work visa, which is difficult to get if you just want to freelance for a short time
Many important headquarters are located throughout the main cities of Mexico Mexican top corporations like Televisa, Bimbo, Cemex, Telmex, Vitro, are often willing to hire professionals who speak English as their native language as most of the business scene is developed with North American corporations
An excellent way to get to know and understand more of the country is to do some volunteer work There are several organisations such as Travel to Teach 22 that arrange work for international volunteers in Mexico and other countries in the region
Native English speakers can pick up work, as English teachers The upside is that English speakers with no knowledge of Spanish are sought after, because they will force their students to practice English The downside is that salaries are somewhat low
