Best Things To Do in Guanajuato City
In this Guanajuato travel guide, I talk about why I loved this city so much, highlight the top five things to do in Guanajuato City and reveal the best places to eat vegetarian food in Guanajuato.
Guanajuato is one of those places that all travellers fall in love with.

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico – Travel Guide
San Miguel de Allende is the prettiest city in Mexico.

La Paz, Baja California – Travel Guide
Baja California is the edge of the world: one of the western-most stretches of land before the endless Pacific Ocean. Orange and pink rock formations overlook azure waters from beneath a searing sky. La Paz, a beach town in Baja California Sur in Mexico, is popular with visitors due to its year-round summer and proximity to the Sea of Cortez.
The Sea of Cortez is famous for being home to a staggering third of the world’s marine animals: whales, dolphins and sea lions thrive in the sheltered stretch of water between Baja California and mainland Mexico. To add to the appeal, otherworldly rock formations such as Isla Espiritu Santo, hide a thousand seldom-visited beaches and coves.
Vegetarian and Vegan Food in Mexico City
Being vegetarian in Mexico City was a breeze. Mexico City is one of the most vegetarian-friendly cities in Mexico. We found travelling vegan in Mexico quite challenging, but Mexico City was a breath of fresh air when it came to finding good vegan and vegetarian food options.
The thing we did struggle with in Mexico City was finding ‘local’ and ‘authentic’ style Mexican food. The local cuisine is notoriously meaty, which made it difficult when hunting for vegetarian-friendly options more generally. What with Mexico City being metropolitan, most of the food that was vegetarian in Mexico City was also foreign cuisine.
What is great about Mexico City is the burgeoning vegan food scene and the amount of vegetarian options already available in the city. The best thing to do as a vegetarian in Mexico City is to get out there, explore and eat some more!

From where to get the best views of the city, to where to watch Lucha Libre, our Mexico City travel guide covers the city’s main neighbourhoods and the best day-trips.
Yucatan Backpacker Route
Backpacking the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico is an incredible experience. From white sand beaches and swimming with whale sharks to the ruins of Chichen Itza and watching Mayan ball games, there is a lot for a backpacker to do in one trip.
While backpacking the Yucatan peninsula offers an out-of-this-world travel experience, it’s worth noting that it costs more to travel here than it would to backpack in Vietnam, Thailand or other Asian countries.
The Yucatan is also much more expensive than central Mexico. But backpacking the Yucatan can be done on a budget and it’s well worth it if you ask us.
