Welcome to the ultimate Mexico travel guide on and off the beaten path!
Mexico has been my second home for more than a decade. I have lived in Cancun and have been driving around most of the country and I am excited to share everything I know about it. We will cover both the most authentic off-the-beaten-path areas and more touristic, but worth exploring places. It is my life mission to help you travel around Mexico like a pro!

WHY MOVING AROUND MEXICO BY CAR IS MY FAVORITE OPTION
You will read very often in many posts how I am an advocate of renting a car and moving around at your own pace because it gives you the freedom to explore hidden gems on your own (yes, even as a solo female traveler, like me) terms without waiting for others or getting rushed.
There are some areas in Mexico where it is more advisable to join organized tours (and I talk about it in the posts as well) but many other areas such as the Yucatan Peninsula of Baja California, the Oaxacan Coast, or around Sayulita and Puerto Vallarta where it’s very advisable and safe renting your own car.
If you are concerned about driving in Mexico or you are not sure if renting a car in Mexico is convenient, I have got you covered as well.
When it comes to renting a car, I recommend Discover Cars rental because they give you the option to compare prices among different companies and choose the more convenient one. They have great reviews as well.
Discover Cars Mexico Review
Browse through international and local car rentals and find the best deal.
I’ve always had great service from Discover Cars. They always respond quickly if there’s a problem of any kind…I would never use any other car rental company as my many experiences with DiscoverCars.com have been 100% positive.

ABOUT THE EDITOR
Hey, this is me in the picture, at the bottom of the spectacular waterfall El Chiflon in Chiapas. I am Isabella, pleased to meet you! I was born and raised in Italy but moved out in my 30s to explore the world. Mexico chose me twice, and after the second time, I have never left. I lived in Cancun for 7 years and backpacked around Mexico for 10 months, exploring its diverse territory and culture, the different traditions, and falling in love every day. There are so many unique places to visit in Mexico, and I have created this site to show them all to you. I am still traveling in and out of Mexico, and I always find something new to explore.
