Question

Goin to Mexico over the summer, any advice?

Answer 1

Learn Spanish

Answer 2

Where are you going to?

We had a beach holiday in Cozumel last year and I was bitten to death by sand flies. I didn't get much advice whilst I was there but it's one to research.

Also, do you scuba dive? If not and you're on the Caribbean side, learn, it's awesome - turtles on nearly every dive. If you do then I can seriously recommend the cenotes, check out this YouTube video

even if you don't dive they are superb places to swim - absolutely beautiful!

Answer 3

Don't drink the water.

While in the city travel by bus and/or subway. It's cheaper

Don't touch your face after touching something in the subway station.

Learn enough Spanish to get you by.

If you're driving, when stopping at a gas station a gas attendant will probably be there to pump your gas. Although this has only happened to my family once, just make sure they reset the meter before they begin pumping.

Don't wear your best outfits. If you go shopping at a market, vendors will think you have plenty of money to spend and they will jack up the prices on you.

Try the tacos al pastor if you haven't. They're my favorite.

Hope you have a great trip.

Answer 8

If you are not used to the climate DRINK THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT OF WATER. You can get dehydrated very quickly and the first signs are swollen knees and or ankles.

By the way I have been chilling the tap water in Acapulco and know a guy that did that for twelve years with no problem.

Avoid the tap water if you can it is not all "Agua Potable"

Sunscreen

If you are on a bus or driving pick some Imodium just in case
