7 Magical Towns in Mexico that will blow your mind

Did you know there are 132 magical towns in Mexico? We’re aware you’re looking to enjoy a unique experience, but maybe you don’t have enough time to explore all of these remarkable places, or don’t know where to start.

Sharing is caring, so here’s our top 7 picks of Mexican Magical Towns (yes, we chose our favorites so that you don’t have to do the work 😘)

Tulum, Quintana Roo

This magical town is a must see, and its unique Mayan Ruins are one of the best examples of this ancient culture. It is also the only archaeological site that sits on the edge of a cliff, under which lies the beach Playa Paraíso (Paradise Beach), one of the best and most attractive (for real!) beaches of the Riviera Maya.

The Maya did not play around with their ocean view suites! 😎

Coatepec, Veracruz

Coatepec is right in the middle of Coffee Country; so this is for you, Coffee Lover!  After a delicious cup of coffee, don’t miss out on The Orchid Museum Garden with more than 5,000 species to see!

El Oro, Mexico State 

Did you know that at one point, this magical town was one of the richest places (in gold) of the world? 🤑

If you enjoy sport fishing for trout, catfish, carp, bass and shrubs; or you’re just looking for a pleasant walk in nature, make sure to visit The Brockman Dam

Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo

Only golf carts, bicycles or motorcycles are allowed on this small island, located in front of Cancun. Isla Mujeres stands out for its extraordinary mix of natural attractions: beautiful beaches, a lagoon, reefs and mangroves.

If you are looking to relax in panoramic pools, hammocks and lounge chairs with movie views, this island has it all! As the saying goes: “You MUST visit Isla Mujeres at least once in your life”.

Bacalar, Quintana Roo

Last (but not least 😜) we present to you one of our favorite magical spots in Mexico!

This is one of the quieter places to visit in the Yucatan peninsula and part of its charm relies on the many different activities you can enjoy here: swimming and relaxing in the water of the Lagoon of 7 Colors,  discover  the underwater caverns of Cenote Azul, adventure into the jungle, a romantic sailing trip, and much more.
