Scuba diving in Cozumel
If you are in the mood to do something adventurous, there isn't any better place than Cozumel to channel your inner thrill-seeker. This is an island in the Caribbean where you can do scuba diving. View the Mesoamerican Reef and a range of submerged sculptures that lie in deep water. Beach lovers can while away their time relaxing beachside and admire the sunsets.
El Museo de las Momias (The Museum of the Mummies)
The Museum of the Mummies in Guanajuato comprises 108 corpses that have been mummified. These date back to the 1870s to 1950s. Back then, a tax was levied on families to keep the bodies of their loved ones buried. Those who failed to pay, the bodies of their kin were stored in a building. Authorities started charging money to let people see mummies.
Go for a spiritual cleanse at a Temazcal
A temazcal is a type of ancient lodge that dates back to a pre-Hispanic indigenous group of Mesoamerica. It is a sweat lodge that was traditionally used for bathing rituals. Here, you can go for a spiritual cleanse as you are taken on one by a shaman who performs a two-hour-long ceremony. The process is believed to cleanse your mind, body, and spirit.
Visit the 'witch market'
Sonora Market in Mexico houses an area that sets the entire market unique and different from others. We are talking about the "witch market" where you can find an array of potions, herbs, dried rattlesnakes, voodoo dolls, crystal balls, ouija boards, and many other items associated with mysticism and the occult. Taking a stroll through this patch of the market offers an eyebrow-raising experience.
Head over to the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve
If you're traveling to Mexico during autumn, you are in luck! Every autumn, billions of monarch butterflies from multiple areas in North America return to this biosphere, coloring the trees orange and red. In spring, however, they migrate to Canada for eight months and then return to the reserve again. How they find their way to the biosphere reserve is still a mystery!
