Tepic is destined to be Mexico’s new trip hotspot, giving new and simpler entry to Riviera Nayarit with groundbreaking flights launching this week.
But there’s additionally one other airport set to open in Mexico this 12 months, plus 4 extra within the works.
As you’ll have heard, Americans can now fly nonstop to Tepic starting this week on Volaris, adopted by United later this 12 months.
What you’ll have missed is Costalegre, an up-and-coming luxurious seashore vacation spot taking Cabo’s glitz and including the attract of undiscovered shores. Though, the rationale it is remained off-radar from the lots is basically attributable to its lack of connectivity.
The identical will be stated for a number of locations that might be extra fashionable if solely Americans had higher entry, together with a metropolis simply topped by Travel + Leisure as Mexico’s finest.
Believe it or not, if accredited, these focused trip spots will problem Cancun, Guadalajara, and extra with the objective of assuaging visitors at main airports and spotlighting the lesser-known.
We at Travel Off Path are stoked to unveil Mexico’s subsequent tourism hotspots as 5 new airports are deliberate to open:
More Than A Cruise Port: Ensenada To Welcome Flights
Northern Baja’s fashionable cruise port and endcap to the scenic Valle de Guadalupe wine route (often called Mexico’s “Napa” is anticipated to grow to be simpler to achieve than ever.
Whether you are into fresh-as-can-be seafood, quintessential Baja vibes, or winding backroads of sprawling wineries, Ensenada is simply the place!
Ensenada’s downside has been that it’s kind of of a drag to achieve. Having to fly into San Diego and highway journey throughout the busy border or take one of many few U.S.-based flights immediately into what’s generally deemed one in every of Mexico’s most harmful cities (Tijuana), Ensenada has largely been a cease on a cruise route for many.
There’s no official timeframe for completion, however it’s anticipated to be constructed within the “El Tigre” a part of city.
Travel Tip: If you simply cannot wait to go to Ensenada, contemplate taking San Diego’s first-of-its-kind ferry path to bypass the trouble of customs!
Lagos de Moreno: Say Goodbye To Guadalajara & Leon
If you have by no means heard of Lagos de Moreno, that is okay. Even essentially the most seasoned vacationers seemingly have not both, however we did function this Jalisco hideaway as an alternative choice to one in every of my favourite Mexican cities, Guanajuato.
From private expertise, this area may gain advantage from a brand new airport. Both instances I’ve traveled by way of Guadalajara (GDL), it has been nothing quick a migraine headache and the logistics of getting an Uber from Leon (BJX) has been a trouble attributable to a unending Uber-taxi struggle.
Hidden gems like Lagos de Moreno deserve extra recognition and a brand new airport will definitely do the trick.
This stunning metropolis was named one in every of Mexico’s most cost-effective locations final 12 months, and because the U.S. authorities is not in cost, it is protected to say inflation hasn’t reached Mexico’s best-kept secrets and techniques.
San Miguel de Allende: Mexico’s ‘Top City’ Deserves Its Own Airport
In the identical breath as Lagos de Moreno, but holding far more notoriety, San Miguel de Allende would additionally profit from its personal airport, however not as a lot as vacationers would.
San Miguel might now not be the hidden gem it as soon as was, having advanced into an expat haven and a preferred cultural escape from Mexico’s busy seashores.
San Miguel would not lack a lot — it is protected, inexpensive, timeless, charming, and a foodie’s dream, however having to make the trek from Leon as talked about beforehand, San Miguel’s recognition would seemingly enhance as much more vacationers can be enticed to go to one in every of Mexico’s most aesthetically fascinating cities.
There’s no particular opening date right now, however plans appear greater than promising.
Isla Mujeres: Cancun’s New Rival?
Travel consultants on the Cancun Sun have been hyping up close by Isla Mujeres for years as a paradisal escape from Cancun’s year-round crowds.
We’ve already seen Tulum open their very own airport with a blended bag of evaluations after preliminary success, however an excessive amount of hype might have truly deterred vacationers from visiting as airways have truly pulled flights these days.
Isla Mujeres, although, is not fairly as nicely often called Tulum and may gain advantage from its personal airport very like Cozumel.
Rather than make day journeys from Cancun and take care of the trouble of such a busy airport, extra vacationers would certainly admire a direct flight to the area’s rising paradise island of luxe resorts, bucket-list excursions, and pristine waters.
There’s no timeframe when Isla Mujeres will obtain a brand new airport, however there are ongoing discussions to interchange the present Playa del Carmen airfield, based on Forbes.
Costalegre: Fly To Mexico’s Trendiest Luxury Destination This Year
Which airways will function right here stays to be seen, however there was loads of hype surrounding Costalegre as Mexico’s subsequent trip hotspot for years.
Boasting over 200 miles of attractive shores south of Puerto Vallarta, many appear untouched compared to Mexico’s most notable names, and that is largely been attributable to a scarcity of connectivity.
