Meanwhile, history enthusiasts visit the country to see ancient Mayan ruins, such as the ones in Palenque, Tulum, Merida, and Cozumel. Other cultural attractions are Guanjanato, with its cobblestone paths, and Mexico City, where you can indulge your inner foodie. Give yourself time to explore this beautiful and colorful country by booking one of the top vacation rentals in Mexico.
