Really, Mexico is called Mexican United States, in the North of America. It has 31 states and the capital, that’s mean that there are 32 states. It has two coasts, at west we find the Pacific Ocean, at east Gulf of México and the Caribbean Sea.
At Yucatan Peninsula, we find the Riviera Maya, I only know Cancun, and its seemed nothing wonderful. That depends of feeling of each one, because I don’t like beach, in general. Because of Guadalajara, Jalisco is in the east part of México, that place is more known for me.
GULF OF MEXICO, RIVIERA MAYA
Cancun: It’s situated in Riviera Maya. It’s a touristic place. It’s the second most expensive place. But you can choose cheap places to stay. Snorkel.
Manzanillo: You can find wild animals at the entrance of hotels.
Puerto Vallarta: Green waters and vegetation. It is a Mexican beach resort city situated on the Pacific Ocean's Bahía de Banderas. There, you can practice adventure sports.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo: Fishing village, all are almost conserved. Cobbled streets and tiles. Its located at de bay of Zihua.
Acapulco: Humidity place and template. Here you can find the clavadistas. Around 1950 was a select place for Hollywood stars. There were filmed a lot of movies. You can find some different places, like virgin and popular beaches. The narco turns Acapulco into one of the most dangerous places.
And obviously, México D.F., as a child I visit The children city but now does not exist. There are some places to get fun as funny parks.
In México we can find some interesting places, not touristic, but great. Like the Tianguis. They are markets were local and foreign peoples will expose their art craft and typically food. There is no drinking water, so in each house we can find water filters.

I was privileged to grow up in Mexico at a time when you could play in the streets. We lived not too far from the ocean, and we would be outside all the time with the neighbours' kids, running free.
What better place could there be for a child?
