A wedding couple in Mexico © CarlosMendoza |
A wedding or honeymoon in Mexico can be filled with culture,
charm and gorgeous scenery, from sun-kissed beaches to colonial
settings and cobbled streets. Mexico's Native American heritage and
emphatic Spanish influence makes it vibrant, colourful and unique.
There are various hotels, villas and resorts geared to hosting
wedding functions or honeymoon couples, as well as wedding planners
at hand to assist with preparation. Laid-back locals and great
weather year-round add to the appeal of this wedding and honeymoon
destination.
Wedding and Honeymoon things to see and do
Wedding or honeymoon couples in Mexico will find countless
things to see and do. Explore the Templo
Mayor, the main Aztec temple, in Mexico City or wander
the cobbled streets of San
Ángel. The beautiful scenery of
Baja California is not to be missed, from azure bays and
fine white beaches to rocky cliffs, quiet deserts and cactus
covered mountain slopes. Visit the ancient Mayan city of
Palenque,
or the pyramids they built at Chichén
Itzá. And then there are
cruises,
whale watching and
diving for couples to enjoy together...
