One of the most popular and crowded magical towns in all of Mexico is undoubtedly Cholula. It is famous for housing no less than 365 churches, among many other curiosities. If you decide to visit it, you must visit the Great Pyramid built in honor of the god Quetzalcoatl.

Located in Chiapas, the next magical town is also a must-see,San Cristobal de las Casas. It is one of the territories with more museums, such as the Museum of Mayan Medicine, Na Bolom Museum or the Museum of Popular Cultures.

You will be able to climb its spectacular El Estribo lookout to take incredible pictures of all of Patzcuaro.

We continue with another very special magical town: Bacalar. Mostly known for its lagoon, where different colors will catch your attention. And if they don’t, it will be their cenotes or water activities that will take your breath away.
