Travel in Mexico

Living in the United States is not cheap—especially as prices continue to soar, from groceries to transportation to housing. According to recent reports, an American household spends an average of $61,334 per year on their expenses, with housing being the largest expense, at almost $1,800 a month. So why not move someplace where it costs a whole lot less to live?

American Airlines said Friday it would reduce some of its international routes during the second half of the year and early into 2025 because of ongoing Boeing 787 Dreamliner delays. 

Floating in a warm ocean, sun on my belly—this is what I’ve dreamed of my entire pregnancy. After spending the majority of it in New York, I was caught off guard by the sudden ease I felt in my body and brain as I waded into the ocean and the weight I’d been carrying lifted off of me for the first time in months. I’ve always found the term “babymoon” a bit off-putting, overly indulgent even. It's not as widely accepted into the vacation lexicon as a honeymoon, bachelorette, or 50th birthday. In fact, the term was first coined in the early ’90s and referred to a period of time for parents to spend alone with their new child soon after their birth.

The birthplace of world-renowned dishes including elotes, chilaquiles and birria, Mexico has earned abundant acclaim for its national cuisine, with no shortage of endemic ingredients and time-honored cooking styles coming together to form one truly spectacular mosaic of flavors. While the national capital of Mexico City is home to a wealth of can’t-miss dining destinations, the country is dotted with foodie-friendly municipalities spanning from the Baja Peninsula to the tip of the Yucatan. As you plan your next trip to Mexico, don’t miss out on these essential cities, each one offering the perfect blend of high-end gastronomy and ultra-flavorful street food.

Renowned for their tangled roots and resistance to salinity, the earth’s mighty mangrove forests serve as a crucial bridge between the open ocean and inland environments, with no shortage of aquatic and terrestrial species thriving across their branches—yet in spite of their importance in mitigating natural disasters, this ecosystem has seen widespread devastation over the centuries. While more than 5,000 square kilometers of mangrove forest have been destroyed since the mid-’90s, not all hope is lost for these marvelous natural features. From the lush jungles of the Yucatan to the shores of Fiji, some of the earth’s most dazzling hotels have set out to restore their surrounding mangrove forests, ensuring that all native flora and fauna will have a safe place to flourish for years to come.

Since 2022, when World's 50 Best first began ranking North America’s 50 Best Bars, New York City and Mexico City have vied for the top spot. Always the bridesmaid, CDMX's Handshake Speakeasy has earned second place for the last two years in a row (first trailing Attaboy, then Double Chicken Please—both beloved Lower East Side joints). This year, however, the Colonia Juarez cocktail bar takes first place at long last.
