The country of a thousand faces
M exico is one of the few countries in the world where ancient civilisation, colonial heritage and contemporary culture coexist without asking permission.
The essence
M exico is one of the few countries in the world where ancient civilisation, colonial heritage and contemporary culture coexist without asking permission. In the same week you can walk a pyramid built before Rome, sleep in a viceregal stone hacienda, dine in one of the finest restaurants on the planet and swim in a sacred cenote of the Maya world. It is a destination of authorship, curated with judgement rather than solved with a fixed package. The right order of destinations, the right season, the hotels that open doors and a guide who comes from the community. Done this way, Mexico delivers the richest, most flavourful and most human journey on the continent.
Regions
01 · Capital 3-4 nights
The cultural capital of the continent
One of the most stimulating cities on the planet: a colonial Historic Centre built over ancient Tenochtitlan, world-class museums, the Roma and Condesa neighbourhoods, Teotihuacán an hour away and the finest food scene in Latin America.
02 · Colonial 2-3 nights
Cities of carved stone and silver
San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato and Querétaro: three colonial World Heritage cities, raised with the silver of the viceroyalty. Cobbled lanes, baroque churches, galleries and a cultural life that never goes quiet.
03 · Culture 2-3 nights
The cultural capital of Mexico
Markets overflowing with colour, origin mezcal, hand-woven textiles, the archaeological site of Monte Albán and the country's most vivid Day of the Dead celebration. Oaxaca is eaten, walked and heard.
04 · Maya World 3-4 nights
The Maya world and the Caribbean
Chichén Itzá and Uxmal, turquoise-water cenotes, colonial Mérida and restored henequen haciendas. And, on the edge of the Caribbean, the Riviera Maya: white sand, reef and design lodges facing the sea.
05 · Pacific 3-4 nights
Sea, sierra and coastal design
Puerto Vallarta and its art-lined promenade, the Riviera Nayarit with lodges hidden between jungle and sea, and Los Cabos, where the Baja California desert drops straight into the ocean. The relaxed close to any itinerary.

The restaurant of chef Enrique Olvera, a reference of contemporary Mexican cuisine and a fixture among the best in the world. Its mole madre has been simmering for years.
Polanco · Mexico City

Roma · Mexico City
The midday institution of the capital: pescado a la talla, tuna tostadas and an atmosphere that never goes quiet.
Historic centre · Oaxaca
Signature Oaxacan cuisine on a terrace with a view of Santo Domingo. The seven moles, the mezcal and the produce of the valley.

Traditional Puebla cuisine: mole poblano, chiles en nogada in season and convent sweets.

Tacos al pastor, tlayudas, cochinita pibil, tamales and quesadillas. The best of Mexican cuisine is also eaten standing up, in the market.
Calendar
A well-chosen date turns a trip into a memory. We design your itinerary around the moment that matters most to you.
Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Offerings, marigolds and the night of the cemeteries, lived with special force in Oaxaca and Pátzcuaro.
The serpent of light and shadow descends El Castillo pyramid, a Maya astronomical calculation more than a thousand years old.
The great festival of Oaxaca's cultures: dance, costume and music from the eight regions of the state.
The national festivities dress the country in green, white and red, with the Cry from every main plaza.
In Guanajuato, one of the most important cultural festivals in the Americas, with theatre, music and dance from around the world.
Veracruz and Mazatlán hold some of the oldest and most vibrant carnivals in Mexico.
Grey and humpback whales arrive at the lagoons and bays of Baja California Sur to breed.
The 12th of December and the posadas fill the colonial cities with light, punch and piñatas.
CocoVolare recommends
Advice from our travel designers: what we book first, what we avoid, and the details that turn a good trip into an unforgettable one.
The capital's great tables (Pujol, Quintonil, Rosetta) open reservations weeks or months ahead and vanish within hours. We lock them in the moment your itinerary is confirmed; arriving in CDMX hoping to improvise that dinner means losing it.
The altitude is real: walk slowly for the first 24 hours, hydrate more than usual and save the serious mezcal for the second night. Coming from Bogotá you'll have an advantage; coming from sea level, your body will thank you for the gentle pace.
Stay and walk within that triangle: cafés, galleries, parks and the best tables on foot. To get around, Uber and DiDi work perfectly and cost little; street taxis are best left to pass by.
The balloon lifts off at sunrise and reveals the Avenue of the Dead like no viewpoint can; on landing, you enter the archaeological site before the groups arrive. By midday, the sun on the stone turns the visit into an endurance test.
Mexico is a country of countries, and Oaxaca is its capital of flavour: the seven moles, the markets, the palenque mezcalerías and the artisan villages of the valley. One hour's flight from CDMX and the trip changes dimension.
In Mexico, service lives on tips: 10% is the correct minimum, 15% the norm at good tables. The bill may come with a suggested tip, but it is not included; check before doubling it by accident.

Testimonials
★ ★ ★ ★ ★“We arrived in Oaxaca for Day of the Dead and CocoVolare took us to a community cemetery with a guide from the community itself. We did not feel like tourists looking on: we felt like guests. I had never lived something so beautiful and so respectful at the same time.”
★ ★ ★ ★ ★“We entered Chichén Itzá before it opened to the public, just us and the archaeologist. That hour of silence in front of the pyramid, without a soul around, is worth the whole trip on its own.”
★ ★ ★ ★ ★“We ate at Pujol and the next day at a market in Oaxaca with a traditional cook. Both were Mexican cuisine of the very highest level. I thought I knew the food of Mexico and I was only just beginning.”
