For decades, Mexico has been known as a spring break destination. College kids head to its beaches to cut loose and have fun. But while Mexico is known for its beach resorts, it really is so much more. Head inland and explore its villages and cities. From the mountains, to the tropical beaches, to the jungle, there are plenty of undiscovered areas left in Mexico. Hit up a festival. Drive through the countryside. Stop by an undiscovered restaurant. Get off the tourist trail in Mexico and you'll see it has so much more to offer.

Mexican food has spread throughout North America. Everyone craves tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, but nothing can top the experience of eating the food in the country where it originated.
