Cheap Mexico Hotels
What to see by car: Mexico
    
Hitting the highways of Mexico is a great way to involve yourself with the
culture and people, especially if you live in the southern reaches of the USA
and the heart of Mexico is less than 48 hours away. The highway system between
major cities is modern and similar to the freeways of the US. However, most
highwaysdepend on toll funding rather than taxation; so, have plenty of change
and small bills available.
Major highways are patrolled by Los Angeles Verdes (Green Angels), mechanics
who assist motorists; the service is free, except for parts and gas. Auto insurance
is a must, whether you are driving a rental car or your own. During the last
decade, Mexico has invested huge amounts of money to upgrade its interstate
road network - working with the private sector to build and maintain high-quality
interstate highways that connect Mexico's major towns and cities.
You can travel on Mexico's old interstates for free, but some are slower to
travel on and may have single carriages only, meaning that you can get stuck
behind an old truck.
Guadalajara is the best place to truly experience Mexico's distinctive fiesta
culture of tequila, chimichangas, sombreros, mariachi music and dancing senoritas.
Acapulco, popular with Americans, is located on the Pacific coast and is host
to a glitzy strip of bustling beaches, high-rise hotels, discos and shopping
malls. The famous cliff divers of La Quebrada have been amazing visitors since
the 1930s.
Over on the Caribbean coast, the main attractions of Cancun are its tropical
beaches, particularly Playa Tortugas and Chacmool. Most the action is found
on a spit of land, separated from the mainland by a vast tidal lake. If it's
too busy for you, escape to the popular island of Cozumel, which has plenty
of room for its quieter resorts.
