Anyone from Mexico?

Hi, I’m planning a camping trip to Mexico as my son asking for a camping trip for his birthday, and I’m looking for some advice from anyone who lives there or has been there before. Do you have any recommendations for where to camp, and how to get around? Also, while we will be there, We would like to explore ancient ruins, museums. I appreciate any tips or suggestions. Thanks in advance!

    I know it’s been a while, but I can give you some advice from someone who has traveled to Mexico frequently. 

    Whatever you do and wherever you go, make sure you have reliable internet. Don’t rely on roaming, it’s expensive. A local SIM isn’t a great option either, as scams are common, and you don’t want to deal with that once you’re already there. You need to be prepared in advance.

    As someone with experience traveling in Mexico, I highly recommend using an eSIM, specifically this Mexico eSIM that I personally use. It’s easy to set up, works perfectly, and is affordable, with plans starting at just $8.

  • Are you looking for tent camping or bring an RV?  There are many balnearios and protected areas.  Here is a state-run website that outlines in detail those areas.  You would have to check each one to find camping.  Guanajuato is a beautiful state.

      Hey qt, are you talking about that mariamexicna website? 

  • Update with my query: I am considering going to Las Palomas Natural Reserve or El Chico National Park. Those two seem good places to hike. By the way, I was thinking of getting a guide, so I was looking for one in Google and came across this https://gowithguide.com/mexico/guides Do you guys have any other alternative trusted guide portal where I can check the rates and all?
