People often believe Mexico’s best vacation options are all-inclusive resorts in Cancun or Cozumel. While this is one aspect of Mexico, it is far from the whole picture. Mexico offers endless opportunities for adventure seekers. From ancient ruins to lush jungles, this country is full of exciting destinations.
It is perfect for exploring on your next getaway. So whether you’re planning an extended vacation or just a quick weekend trip, here are some ideas of what you should experience while visiting Mexico.
Fun Things to Do in Mexico: The Ultimate List
#1. Tasting Mezcal (Oaxaca)
Though tequila is Mexico’s best-known liquor, Mezcal deserves just as much attention. It’s made from the same plant (the blue agave) but has a very different taste than tequila. And it goes well with anything! Oaxaca city in Mexico is known worldwide for its mezcal bars and distilleries.
Here you’ll be able to try a tasty drink at many places in this big city. Places like Santo Coyote located on Avenida Independencia between J Gomez Sosa and Negrete streets. Or how about Mi Gustitos in Santa Maria Tonantzintla street in the Santiago Matatlán neighborhood. It is near La Soledad Church. They have great food. Both are in the historic center of the city within walking distance of each other.
Another great place to taste mezcal in Oaxaca is La Mezzetta. It is located on Calle Murguia (near the corner of Juarez and Lerdo de Tejada streets). This bar has a wide selection, with over 100 different brands. This gives you the opportunity to choose your favorite one!
To reach the lovely beaches in Puerto Escondido, add another day to your time in Oaxaca City. So get ready for an evening full of fun. Try all kinds of mezcals and find out why mezcal deserves its category apart from tequila. It’s also worth noting that almost every type of mezcal contains some percentage of alcohol. So don’t empty them too quickly… unless you want to lose track very quickly!
#2. Taking part in a Mexican Cooking Class (Oaxaca)
If you’ve ever visited Mexico, you came back wanting to learn how to cook the local Mexican cuisine for yourself. Fortunately, there are several cooking schools in this country where anyone can take a class. Plus you will get to make your favorite cuisines from Mexico!
One good option is Casa Oaxaca, located on Donato Guerra Street by San Angel Inn Metro station. It is close to the Coyoacan neighborhood. This school has courses ranging from one-day or half-day workshops to weeklong classes. You will work with expert chefs who teach students how to prepare various Mexican delicacies. They provide information about ingredients used and the rich history behind these recipes. It’s an excellent way for individuals and groups to get together. You will have fun while learning a new skill.
Take a cooking class during your next trip to Mexico. You will learn how to make some of the best dishes in the country!
#3. Taking a dip at Hierve el Agua (Near Oaxaca)
Hierve el Agua is an archaeological site and natural beauty with pools of crystal clear water. They form overhanging rock formations. I think this would be a great place to take a tour of the waterfalls
But don’t worry: the water isn’t boiling! It’s just the result of mineral deposits in the rocks, making it seem like they’re bubbling up from beneath. But be careful not to get too close. There are no railings around these “boiling” waters, so you could easily fall off if you aren’t paying attention. Which I would never recommend.
You can find Hierve el Agua near Oaxaca City on highway 190 between Tulle and Mitla. It is approximately 50 km south of Oaxaca City or kilometers north of San Bart olo Coyotepec. Once you get there, it is a reasonably easy walk with incredible views of the valley below. So don’t forget your camera! If you’re in Oaxaca city and have some free time on your hands, add Hierve el Agua to your list of “must-see” attractions when traveling Mexico. You’ll be amazed at this natural wonder, unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.
#4. Enjoying the Best Mexican Cuisines on a Food Tour (Oaxaca)
The best way to taste the flavors of Mexico is by taking a food tour! These walking tours take you around different eateries and bars. This is where you’ll be able to try all kinds of traditional dishes. You can also find plenty of great street food tours in Mexico’s largest city if you don’t want to go on your own. One excellent option is the cooking class which lets you enjoy a culinary experience as you visit the market.
Another awesome place for a great experience is in Oaxaca city at La Merced market. It is located on Independencia street between Juarez and Flores Magon Street. It is close to Santo Domingo church. Or even better, Mercado 20 de Noviembre also called “El Tule” is a market locally. This area has plenty of restaurants that offer tasty local cuisine. They are even in colonial architecture buildings, which makes it an attraction itself. But what people come here for are tasty foods like quesillo (typical string cheese), tlayudas (a kind of pizza), and chapulines (grasshoppers)
Also, near Plaza Hidalgo is a beautiful main colonial square located just one block from Templo Mayor archeological site. The free walking tour has an average duration of four hours, so it’s perfect for a half or full-day excursion.
#5. Witnessing the Day of the Dead Parade (Oaxaca)
Another highlight to add to your itinerary is the Day of the Dead parade when coming down south.
This celebration takes place annually in Mexico on November first and second. But it’s most famous for its “parade” that occurs during this time. Here you’ll find locals dressed as their ancestors who walk through town carrying skulls. Or other decorations inspired by traditional Mexican culture. Thus making for a truly unforgettable experience!

#6. Trekking in the Mountains of Sierra Norte (Monterrey)
If you’re into hiking or just looking for an exciting outdoor activity, trekking in the Sierra Norte Mountains is necessary. This area contains some of Mexico’s most spectacular landscapes with lush forests and jagged peaks.
From Monterrey International Airport, take highway 57 north until it becomes highway 40 after Cerralvo city. Continue this road through Hualahuises village before turning right onto another dirt road signposted towards “El Sabino.” Follow this path up to El Pico del Caballo mountain, where plenty of trails will lead you around the forested mountainsides. Ensure that you have a map of the area. Make sure you are familiar with the trails before setting out (for your safety).
Trekking in the Sierra Norte Mountains is an unforgettable experience. The views alone make it worth the journey, but you’ll also see some fascinating wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for deer, wild boars, and even bears! Unfortunately, I thought we could see moose, but you will find that there are no moose around here!
Be sure to bring plenty of water, snacks, and proper hiking gear if you’re planning any serious trekking. And be prepared for many uphill walks. This isn’t a walk in a theme park! But trust me, it’s all worth it when you arrive at the spectacular views atop El Pico del Caballo.
#7. Biking all over – (Mexico City)
Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world, so it can feel overwhelming when exploring on foot. However, there are some great ways to see all this city has to offer without feeling too harried about finding your way around.
One option is renting a bike and taking off into different neighborhoods outside downtown Mexico City. Many of my favorite places to rent bikes: Coyoacan at Los Reyes rental shop located on Avenida Prolongacion Masaryk Street. It is neaby Colegio Militar Metro station. Or you can rent one from the La Condesa neighborhood. They have rentals available along Amsterdam avenue between Medellin and Parallel streets. This shop is close to Insurgentes Metro stations.
