10 Crazy Things You Can See While Visiting Mexico

The best thing about visiting Mexico is the fact that there is always something interesting to see or do in every city or region of the country. Here is a list with some of the craziest things you can see while in Mexico.

1. Annual Witch Gathering

In my opinion it does not get any crazier than at the Annual Witch Gathering in Catemaco. The festival takes place in the first Friday of March and it is a gathering of healers, shamans and witches from all over the country. You may be surprised to find that one of them just might have the right cure for you. Also stop and see the Indians dancing all day long in front of Parroguia with their pre Hispanic costumes stuffed with colourful feathers.

2. La Quebrada

Feeling a bit dare-devilish go to La Quebrada in Acapulco and experience the unique feeling of cliff diving. Every day at around 1 pm locals dive from death-defying rough cliffs, timing their jump to correspond with the arriving waves that reduce the impact and shield them from landing in the shallows.

3. Reggae festival

During the 6-11 of February Baja is hosting a reggae festival thus if you enjoy reggae music and spending time at the beach make sure to stop in Pescadero and see the reggae line up.

4. Isla Mujeres

Isla Mujeres has a rich history crammed with pirates and pillaging buccaneers; situated in the Yucatan peninsula this island is one of the fewest who remained wild. In the crystal clear waters surrounding the island you can experience scuba diving in the colourful El Garrafon reef.

5. Chichen Itza Yucatan

No solar eclipse or meteor shower compares to watching the spring equinox (March 21) at the Mayan pyramid in Chichen Itza Yucatan. At 1:31 pm, you will observe as a feathered serpent lit by the sun glides its way down the steps of the pyramid towards the well of sacrifice.

6. Bar Jorongo

If you are looking for a crazy night out, than you must go to Mexico City which is renowned for its nightlife, great clubs and bars. Stop at Bar Jorongo, located in the Sheraton Maria Isabel Hotel, for the ultimate Mexican experience. You should prepare yourself for something truly amazing as the mariachi and trio groups walk on the stage.

7. Michoacan

Over two hundred and fifty million Monarch Butterflies end their 2500 miles journey in Oyamel forest, Michoacan. You will remain breathless in front of their magical beauty and group movements as they come to rest on your arms and head.

8. Coco Bongo, Cancun

Coco Bongo, Cancun it’s a mixture of nightclub, theatre and Circus de Soleil where you can see a unique musical recital combined with trapeze artists performances of The Matrix; a definitely must see.

9. The Ake’s Maya ruins

The Ake’s Maya ruins, Yucatan an ancient Toltec arrangement that is delimited by two concentric walls surrounding significant monumental structures are quite impressive to see taking in consideration that this extraordinary civilization evolved around 1500BC.

10. Vera Cruz and Mazatlan

The biggest carnival north of Brazil actually takes place in two towns Vera Cruz and Mazatlan. The Mexicans take the whole concept to a different level with their colourful parades, unique costumes, fiery music, exotic dancing to sum it in a phrase crazy partying all night long.
