San Miguel de Allende
Its cobblestone streets and colorful facades make it the ideal destination for a walk, since in December its colonial architecture is wrapped in Christmas lights and fills with traditional activities like posadas. Also take the chance to visit nearby towns and allow yourself to relax with its cafés, galleries and viewpoints at the end of the day — after all, that's what trips are for: to rest.
Tlalpujahua, Michoacán
Famous for its artisanal tradition of Christmas ornaments, in December you'll see its traditional Christmas decoration fair; its craft stalls are ideal for a romantic or family trip. An excellent option if you want to dazzle your guests at Christmas dinner with the best decorations, since they are all handmade and you won't find them in any department store.
Tepoztlán
Climb the famous Cerro del Tepozteco and admire the incredible landscapes from its summit; it's an amazing journey that starts from Calle del Tepozteco, an avenue where they sell mojitos, azulitos and beers. Start on Calle del Tepozteco with an azulito in hand, and finish at the top of Cerro del Tepozteco with an incredible photo that all your followers will 'like'.

Puerto Vallarta and Mismaloya (Jalisco)
Beach and ideal weather — forget the cold by traveling to warm places like Puerto Vallarta or Mismaloya, which offer calmer coves where you can snorkel and go boating. Surround yourself with water and sun this Christmas.
From Vallarta there are excursions to nearby magical towns like San Sebastián del Oeste.
Playa del Carmen and Tulum
One of our travelers' favorite destinations is Playa del Carmen in Quintana Roo; 5th Avenue and its eco-archaeological parks are the perfect escape from the cold of this December season.
In Tulúm you'll find Mayan ruins with a beach — can you imagine? Sun, history and relaxation, you need nothing more! Pack your bags and book your van with driver on our website, get a rate in seconds and let's hit the road!
Atlixco, Puebla
Atlixco is known by travelers who come to its Villa Iluminada; the streets are decorated with lights, Christmas decorations and craft markets. Experience Christmas in a more traditional way! With posadas, Puebla cuisine and strolls under the lights.
A trip to Atlixco could be the decision you make every year from now on.
Mazunte Oaxaca
If you're looking for something bolder, Mazunte is the choice — a bohemian beach with a super calm and relaxing vibe. Marvel at its stunning sunsets, visit the turtle sanctuaries or meditate on the beach.
From there you can quickly travel to Zipolite (the only nudist beach in Mexico) or to Punta Cometa and watch the sea from cliffs, a magical view, especially at sunrise and sunset.
Extra tips:
During the December high season, it's recommended to book any trip in advance. If you travel to coastal areas, it's recommended to pack light but bring a coat for the cool nights.
It's well worth traveling this season to see how Christmas traditions are celebrated in other parts of the country.
