The Best Honeymoon Destinations in Mexico
What better way to begin your wedded life together than in Mexico? The “Land of Enchantment” has all the trappings of a blissful honeymoon.
-
1. Oaxaca
Don't bypass this pretty Spanish colonial city, whose skyline is dominated by the jaw-dropping 16th-century Church of Santo Domingo de Guzman. While here, consider a daytrip to the atmospheric ruins of Saint Alban, which date to 500 BC. Mexico's culinary capital, Oaxaca, is regaled for its heady cinnamon-spiked chocolate, Mezcal cocktails, and chapulines (seasoned grasshoppers).
-
2. Mexico City
The bohemian capital transports visitors into a world of old tavernas, baroque palaces, stunning cathedrals, and an eclectic underground party scene. Plan a romantic picnic for two at the sprawling Chapultepec Park, home to a castle, a zoo, and museums. And for a date night, head to Palacio de Bellas Artes for some Mexican folk ballet. The venue also sports Diego Rivera's murals. More romance awaits at the “Venice of Mexico,” Xochimilco, where you can charter your own gondola.
-
3. Cozumel
Clear blue waters, white beaches, and 22km of Mesoamerican reefs define Cozumel. Here, you can look forward to windsurfing, snorkeling, kayaking, and frolicking with the dolphins, among other distractions. Honeymooners have to visit the Ixchel Sanctuary, which is dedicated to the goddess of love and fertility. Meanwhile, an excursion to the Mayan ruins of San Gervasio is a must for history buffs.
-
4. Chihuahua
This name may evoke images of a pint-sized dog, but it also refers to Mexico's largest state. The area encompasses vast desert landscapes, forests, grasslands, caves, and endless canyons. Recommended is a train ride up to the Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon), and a day trip to the stunning stalactites in Grutas Nombre de Dios (Name of God Caves) The city of Chihuahua's biggest attraction is the resplendent baroque cathedral right by the bustling Plaza de Armas square.

What to Do During Your Honeymoon in Mexico
There's much to see and do in Mexico, from exploring its unparalleled cultural heritage to ziplining at dangerous altitudes and dancing until dawn with the locals at carnival parties.
-
1. Xcaret Mexico Espectacular
Culture trippers will thoroughly enjoy this joyous spectacle of music and dance that traces the country's history from pre-Hispanic times to present day. It takes place at the opulent Gran Tlachco Theater in Cancun.
-
2. Zipline 1,575 feet above ground
Don't miss the Sierra Tarahumara zipline at Barrancas del Cobre Adventure Park. Consider this a second leap of faith as you and your partner glide along a 3,652-feet-long zipline ensconced by the fiery-red Batopilas canyon and a thread-like river flowing below.
-
3. Mexican cuisine
Fuel your breakfasts with chilaquiles (fried tortillas topped with salsa, scrambled egg, and chicken. And for lunch, try pre-Hispanic pozole soup made with herbs and spices. Corn on the cob (elote) dabbed with butter, chili powder, lime, and sour cream is a fun and nutritious street snack. A final note – when downing tequila, ensure the bottle has a "100% agave" label on it to avoid spurious knockoffs.
-
4. Carnivals and festivals
Mexico takes its festival calendar seriously, so plan accordingly. Festival de Mexico, which showcases the best of Mexican art, opera, music, and dance, is best experienced at the port cities of Veracruz or Mazatlán amid raucous revelers, colorful floats, fireworks, and non-stop music and dance. Meanwhile, La Posadas marks the advent of Christmas. It's all about nativity stories, magically lit villages, traditional songs, and candlelit processions.
