Reply To: Mexico 2-week itinerary advice?

[slonik]

Thank you so much for all the advice, it is hugely appreciated.

You have convinced me to drop the Copper Canyon. (Interesting that the area is no go according to FCDO – it is prominently featured in a photo exhibition outside the Mexico embassy in London, which I passed the other day, and which was actually what inspired me to try and add it to the trip in the first place. I am clearly easily influenced by beautiful photos!!!)

We will spend longer in Yucatan and Mexico City instead; that way we can explore both properly.

@NorthernLass please can you post a trip report when you are back? Would love to read it.

@JDB which areas of Yucatan would you recommend as a base? Is around Tulum still (comparatively) OK? You make a very good point re “selling” the ruins to the teen. I will do that and will aim for Tulum, Chichen Itza and one other (plus Teotihuacán once we get to CDMX).
