The colonial heartland - Mexico City, Puebla, Oaxaca - rewards 10–14 days by ADO bus, with markets, ruins, and mezcal distillery visits filling the gaps. The Yucatán circuit (Cancún, Chichén Itzá, Mérida, Tulum) works as a standalone 7–10 day trip. October–November adds Día de los Muertos; July–October brings hurricane risk on both coasts. Pacific surf towns, Copper Canyon, and the Baja peninsula extend trips to three weeks or more. Routes here range from first-timers to deep-south itineraries.
