Which Latin American countries visit Mexico the most?

According to Mexico's Ministry of Tourism (Sectur), for 3 consecutive years, the Latin American tourists who travel the most to the country are from Brazil, Argentina, and Peru. These tourists concentrate most of their arrivals in two airports, the first one in Cancun and the second one in Mexico City, the capital city.

Some tips for entering Mexico if you are traveling from these countries:

• You do not need a visa, but you must carry a valid passport, and it must not be close to expiring (more than six months).
• It is recommended to make reservations in advance, both for hotels and the most touristic places, so you avoid long lines and price surprises.
• As for internet, in Mexico you can connect to Wi-Fi networks, but we recommend contacting your cell phone company so that they can provide you with roaming services.
  • Why roaming: In Latin America the phone companies are similar, so having roaming activated in your plan will be cheaper than traveling outside the continent.
• We recommend you to follow travel websites and people who already have experience in visiting Mexico, like us, in order to put together a good itinerary.
