Playa Maroma
Playa Maroma is one of the cleanest and hence one of the most popular beaches in the world. Due to its location in the Gulf Coast, it is somewhat isolated and stays away from the crowds of people.

The beach lets the visitors enjoy the lush green forests along with the blue water which washes away the white sand of the beach wave by wave.
Acapulco

The beaches are situated along the Las Costera while the remaining semi-circular bay which houses the complete site is filled with restaurants and hotels for you to eat and relax.

It has several museums and cultural heritage sites which preserve in them the important Mexican history and traditions. Interestingly, this town is also the birthplace of tequila and mariachi which does not surprise us when we say that this town has some of the best parties of Mexico.
Mexico City
What makes Mexico City a must visit is the fact that it was once (and up to an extent, still) ruled and walked by the gangs which would not shy away from being brutal for almost no reason. However, things are improving and the crime rate has gone down by several folds in the last decade or two. The new face of the city is filled with restaurants that serve international delicacies. Mexico City not only satisfies the foodies, it also has a lot to offer to the history buffs. There are several landmarks in the city which will keep the curiosity in you busy for a few days.
