Which regions in Mexico aren't too touristy?
Hi Bruno,
Thanks so much for your message! October 18th, but I’m way ahead of myself! 😉 I don’t know if it’s a generational thing, recklessness, or just an inability to plan anything in advance... The only time we planned a bit ahead was in February 2020... and no, I haven’t booked any flights yet, so I can still change my mind about the destination.
Chiapas is now in the "orange" zone according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, except for cities like San Cristobal or Palenque, but I think it’s a shame not to feel comfortable exploring the surrounding areas or having to make huge detours to get from one place to another. If any travelers have recent info, I’d love to hear it!! Because honestly, this region really appeals to me.
I’m poring over travel journals and blogs... I’m already traveling a little in my mind!
Have a great day! !

Which less touristy regions to visit in Mexico?
Hi everyone,
My partner and I would like to travel to Mexico during the Christmas holidays. We’re well aware that this is a peak tourist season, but it’s the only time of year when we can take a long trip (over two weeks) due to work commitments.
We’re looking to avoid overly touristy areas and travel independently (renting a car). We want to explore Mexico’s history, take our time, and enjoy nature and the sea.
I’ve never been to Mexico before, and I’m considering the following regions (not all of them, of course): Yucatán (outside Quintana Roo), Baja California, Oaxaca, or Chiapas.
I’ve more or less ruled out Chiapas for safety reasons (even though the nature there looks amazing), and I’d love to hear your thoughts on the other regions. From experience, I know that even in highly touristy areas, you can often find quieter spots with good planning and by avoiding the main hotspots. For example, we were in Thailand last year during the same period, and aside from 2-3 places, we had a very peaceful trip—sometimes even being the only Westerners around. Would the same be true for Yucatán or Baja California?
Do you have any recommendations for nice, less touristy spots? What are your thoughts on the regions I mentioned?
Thanks so much for your help, and I hope you have a great weekend!
