How does one go about setting up a
family honeymoon Mexico style?
If you are planning on bringing the family to your
wedding or honeymoon
in Mexico, you've come to the right place.
With its close proximity to the United States, and having three of
its sides surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Pacific
Ocean and The Gulf Of Mexico, Mexico is filled with endless miles of
white, sandy beaches and mountain ranges dotted with ruins of
various ancient civilizations.
Who wouldn't want to get married in such a tranquil
atmosphere surrounded by loved ones?
With its warm people ready to welcome tourists
throughout the year, Mexico makes for an ideal getaway whether you
are going on your honeymoon alone or with your family.
If it's just the two of you honeymooning, then the sandy beaches of
Cancun may
beckon you.
You can spend a lovely time with your spouse swimming,
fishing, diving, snorkeling or even just laying next to each other
on the soft white sand.
If the sights and sounds of nature interest you
then you can visit the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, where you can
explore ancient Mayan,
Tulum and
Chichen Itza ruins or even dense
forests and wetlands filled with rare and interesting wildlife.
You can even buy your loved one or your family
many gifts from the many malls in the city center. You can also stay
in any of the many resorts located right on the beach and you can
take a stroll down the beach, hand-in-hand with your loved ones
while soaking in the sun and the beautiful view of the sea.
Another great way to enjoy a family honeymoon Mexico trip, is to
visit
Ixtapa.
Ixtapa is a mix of islands and canals offering
visitors various activities in the sea such as diving, fishing, para-sailing,
among others and even activities on land such as golf and shopping
for traditional hand-made Mexican artifacts.
A great place to take your family is the Magic
World Aquatic Park, which will give you the chance to experience the
fun of water slides and rides. It also has its own pirate ship.
A great all inclusive honeymoon Mexico hot spot
is the island of
Cozumel... where
couples can enjoy not only swimming, windsurfing and diving, but
also set off into the interior jungles and explore.
This island also boasts various shopping stores
selling black coral jewelry among many other ingenious and imported
items, most duty-free.
If you have the urge to go back in time, then
check out the nearby San Gervasio, where you will find one of the
largest ancient Mayan ruins.
If you are planning a family honeymoon Mexico vacation (or if you
want a not-so-adventurous honeymoon) then you can visit
Mazatlan,
where a trip to the aquarium can enable you to look at different
species of lobsters, seahorses, sharks and many other exotic fish
species.
The botanical gardens and zoo situated nearby can
provide hours of entertainment for the kids.
There is also an aquatic park situated in Mazagua
where you and your family can enjoy water slides, wave machines or
just float around in the various pools.
Mazatlan is also filled with big shopping malls
and smaller stores selling a large variety of consumer goods and
other rare artifacts.
If you want to go a step further towards Mayan culture, then visit
the beach paradise of
Playa Del Carmen, which is home to the world's
2nd largest coral reef system.
Here, you and your partner or your family can swim
along with dolphins or can dive among the reefs.
You can also visit Tulum, which is situated near Playa Del Carmen and has many ancient
Mayan ruins.
You and your family will have lots of fun
exploring these old ruins.
Your need for shopping can also be fulfilled by
visiting the local market, which specializes in Guayabera shirts and
panama hats, among many other traditional artifacts of native Mayan
culture.
So, whether you are on your honeymoon alone or with your family,
Mexico is a wonderful place filled with a warm climate and even
warmer people.
While the local currency is pesos, traders do
accept U.S. Dollars, although they offer a lower exchange rate.
It is usually better to get your dollars exchanged
to the local currency at a higher rate at any official currency
exchange.
This republic has the right mix of old with new
and hence has the ability to please both young and old at the same
time.
With its long sandy beaches and its historic ruins
dating long back, along with mountains offering breathtaking views,
Mexico offers the best!
We hope you find yourself going to this wonderful
country for many repeated honeymoons / family honeymoon Mexico
vacations, year-after-year.
