Everything you need for a safe and enjoyable trip to Mexico
US citizens need a valid passport (must be valid for the duration of your stay). Keep it safe!
US passport holders don't need a visa for stays under 180 days.
Highly recommended for medical coverage. US health insurance typically doesn't cover you in Mexico.
Consider registering with the US State Department's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) so the US Embassy can contact you in case of emergency.
Never accept rides from strangers offering taxi services. Always use Uber - it's safe, affordable, and works well in Mexico.
Keep valuables secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas.
Travel in groups, especially at night.
Bring enough medication in original containers with prescriptions.
Dial 911 - it works in Mexico just like in the US.
Stick to bottled water for drinking. Available everywhere!
At hotels and established restaurants, ice is made from purified water.
Food at the hotel and established restaurants is safe. Be cautious with street food if you have a sensitive stomach.
Check with your carrier about international roaming. WiFi available at the hotel.
Works great for staying in touch with other guests and coordinators!
We recommend using Airalo eSIM for convenient data coverage without swapping physical SIM cards.
Spanish is primary. Many hotel staff speak English. Download Google Translate for offline use!
