It’s been a while since I did a bucket list post and today feels like a good day to make one. I decided to do a giant Mexico bucket list today and I am very excited about it.

I’ve done a few of these things in my brief time visiting Mexico, but there are soooo many other incredible things to do there and I want to do all of them. I would love to go back and see more of Mexico outside of the Cancun area. Like, a lot more.

I broke this down into a Mexico City bucket list and a rest-of-Mexico bucket list. It’s a pretty solid mix of outdoors, culture, museums, towns, and interesting experiences. A bit more variety in this one that some others that I have that are more outdoor focused.

This isn’t necessarily a definitive list of the best things to do in Mexico, but sort of functions as a personal bucket list. It’s things I would want to do myself (with a few exceptions, like diving) but also a guide and place to start when planning a trip to Mexico. I am not a Mexico expert, just someone that really wants to see a lot of it.
