Pilot Guides: Destination Mexico

As seen on TV and formally known as Lonely Planet the Pilot Guides are undoubtedly champions of the travel world.

Mexico is a vast country sharing one border with the United States and the other one with Central America.

Traveller Ian Wright visits Baja California, a mostly desert mountainous peninsula off the south west coast of the USA, and the Copper Canyon, home of the modern cowboys and the ancient Tarahumara Indians. Meanwhile Justine Shapiro explores Mexico City, a buzzing capital where modern skyscrapers tower over Indian markets and Spanish churches.

Along the way

  • Visit the wild border town of Tijuana
  • Sail close to the grey whales which migrate to the Laguna San Ignacio during the northern winter months
  • Explore the colonial silver city of Taxco, and the amazing city of Teotihuacan whose mysterious civilisation built the gigantic pyramids of the Sun and the Moon
  • Get a hot taste for Mexican chillies at La Merced, one of the largest food markets, and sample some of the hundreds of tequila varieties
