Travel notes for Mexico
MX / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
The first place being connected pays off is passport control, when they ask for your hotel address and it’s sitting in your email. Plans run from 1 GB to 50 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. An Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and wakes up when you touch down.
Timing your trip
Summer in Mexico lands between June and August, and the prices and the queues come with it. If you can pick, May or September give you the same place with fewer people and less heat.
Paying your way
When a card machine or an ATM asks whether you want to pay in your own currency, say no: that’s dynamic currency conversion and the rate is always worse for you. Pay in the local currency every time, and leave the airport exchange desk as a last resort.
Documents & cover
Some countries ask for a yellow fever certificate depending on where you’ve been, not where you live: a layover can be enough to trigger it. Check the requirement against your actual route, stopovers included.
Getting understood
English isn’t a given everywhere you’ll go. Download an offline map and keep a translation app on your connected phone: directions, menus, taxis and check-ins all get a lot smoother when you can point, read and translate on the spot.

MX / 2- CancúnCUNCancún isn’t a town that grew: it’s a government project. In 1970 this was a twenty-two-kilometre sandbar shaped like a number seven with almost nobody living on it, and the state decided to build a destination from scratch. Everything odd and everything good comes from that: the Hotel Zone is a single avenue between the Caribbean and a lagoon, and the real city sits fifteen minutes inland.8 routes · getting there
- Mexico CityMEX · NLUMexico City is built on top of a lake that was drained on purpose, and it’s still paying for it: it sinks several centimetres a year, some parts faster than others, so there are visibly tilted colonial buildings in the middle of the centre. It sits at 2,240 metres in a valley ringed by volcanoes, and beneath the ground lies an Aztec city that still turns something up whenever a trench is opened.8 routes · getting there
