Southern Mexico is awash with arty, colonial towns, invigorating nature reserves and unmatched archeological sites.
Oaxaca is widely seen as the art capital of Mexico with a culinary scene worthy of a visit alone; San Cristobal de las Casas is the largest ‘magical town' full of gorgeous houses and streets; Tuxtla Gutierrez is a nature and eco-tourism hotspot, while the jungle temples of Palenque guard the treasures of Mesoamerican and Mayan traditions.
