How to Visit Mexico on a Budget – A Guide

Mexico is a great destination for adventurous tourists, as it offers a variety of cultural, culinary, historical and natural landmarks. Even better, Mexico is also incredibly easy to visit, even on a budget.

As Mexico is a big country, there are a lot of sights to explore and enjoy. If you enjoy pristine beaches, ancient ruins or towns that seem to be frozen in the old times, you’ll feel right at home in Mexico.

Planning Your Destination

A lot of areas like the Yucatan peninsula are rich both in natural wonders, ancient ruins and preserved traditions. Yucatan is an ideal budget destination for anyone looking to visit Mexico and experience everything it has to offer.

One thing keeping tourists away from Mexico is the rumors about the notorious crime rates. In reality, not every part of Mexico is struggling with the drug wars or high crime rates any more than some cities in the US.

Yucatan is one of those areas where you are highly unlikely to stumble upon any criminal activities or other unpleasant situations you may have heard about.

Transportation

A lot of budget travelers choose budget airlines and rely on public transport once in Mexico. Some tourists choose to travel by car, but still use public transport in Mexico, as the traffic there is notoriously difficult to master.

Whatever you choose, make sure to get the map of the public transport routes and look into the cheapest Taxis in Mexico. As there are many wild taxi drivers, it helps to ask for a license or ask for the price in advance to avoid getting scammed.

However, if you plan on traveling to Mexico by car, don’t forget to purchase a special Mexican Insurance policy from a reputable agency, as your US or Canadian insurance won’t cover you once you’ve crossed the border.

Accommodation

There are nearly limitless lodging options in Mexico for a budget traveler to choose from. From traditional apartments to affordable resorts. The prices across the country differ and tend to increase during the holidays.

However, you can find affordable hostels up to $15 and luxurious resorts for anywhere between $200 and $500.

Couch surfing and Airbnb are also popular with travelers and have proven to be more than fantastic alternatives to hotels.

Food

Mexican food is definitely one of the most diverse and delicious cuisines in the entire world. And in Mexico, you can find it cheaper than anywhere else. If you choose to stick to fast food options like tacos or burritos, you can save a lot of food as you can find both of these specialties for as low as $1.

However, for a couple of bucks extra you can experience the real variety of Mexican cuisine and try dishes rich with spices and served with a variety of side dishes. You can find delicacies such as Ceviche for $5 to $10 dollars, depending on the restaurant.
