Things get spicier south of the border. Cruises to the Riviera let you sample all the flavors of Mexico. At the tip of the Baja peninsula, Cabo San Lucas greets you with a warm bienvenida and breathtaking natural beauty. Cabo is literally at land’s end, where the calm Sea of Cortes swirls into the thundering Pacific. From the sands of Playa del Amor, you’ll have an incredible view of Los Arcos, famous rock arches that soar above whitecaps and a rainbow of fish. Take a glass-bottom boat ride, the best seats in the house for nature’s impressive show above and below the water.

If you prefer a different kind of scenery, don’t miss the Handicrafts Market where you can shop for serapes and sombreros or pose for a photo with a friendly iguana. Warm beaches and the mountains circling Banderas Bay keep the outlook sunny in Puerto Vallarta. All the houses are painted white (it’s the tradition and the law), and the streets are filled with cobblestone charm. Wander through Old Town’s countless shops and stop to admire the ornate Church of Our Lady of Guadeloupe.

Follow the wooden bridges over Rio Cuale to Playa de los Merton, where you can watch the parasailers., rent a windsurfer or go fly a kite. On the beach, vendors sell everything from lace table cloths to grilled fish on a stick, the Mexican equivalent of a Coney Island hot dog. Wherever you explore, you’ll be greeted by the warm smiles and colorful culture that make Mexico so unforgettable.
