To say that Mexico is a vast and rich country with many different landscapes, cuisines, and cultures somehow still feels like an understatement. Starting from the Río Grande that forms the border with the United States, Mexico stretches over 1,850 miles down toward the tropics, and there's a whole lot more to the place than Cancún and Tulum.
There's the beaches and surf of the Baja Peninsula, the rugged Sierra Madre mountains, the vast Chihuahuan Desert, and the southern Lacandon Jungle, to name a scant few of Mexico's natural wonders. And as far as adventures to be had, there's world-class rock climbing in El Potrero Chico, surfing in Sayulita, and cenote swimming in the Yucatán. It's always nice to come back to a cozy place after a day of such activities, and if you're thinking of an alternative to your average hotel, consider Mexico's growing glamping scene.
Glamping, an alternative and more luxe form of camping, comes with all the perks of a getaway out in nature without sacrificing the comforts of a hotel. Mexico's glamping scene is small but growing and, like the rest of the country, entirely unique—from treehouses in lush rainforests on the southernmost border to cabins in the northern mountains, glamping might be the ultimate way to experience all the beauty the country has to offer.
